Project Overview
A local bicycle shop in my home town was looking to expand their online exposure. Needing to express their skills and professionalism, we agreed on revamping their old website to a more modern look and feel that accurately reflects who they are—resulting in a fast and good-looking website.

Problem Statement
The Problem
Having had their website done in Wix, we needed to resolve the performance issues related to using it, create a unique design, and improve SEO-related issues.
The Solution
A custom-built static website using Tailwind CSS for quick design iterations and Gatsby for a performant, accessible, SEO-friendly website.
The Results
Not only did we start seeing ranking improvements, but the design also made a personable impression on the visitors with near-perfect lighthouse scores.

Concluding notes
Some backstory on this project
Interestingly enough, this was technically my first project for a business before I went to university to study. Before I went, I worked as a sales and workshop assistant at the shop, and the initial version of this project never went live. The project underwent three iterations, with the second version going live when I returned from university.
The backstory of this project played a significant role in my pursuit of becoming a developer. The owner, my colleagues, and even the lesson learnt while working here pushed me to be a better person. So a massive shout out to them!
