[Gerimed]
Project Overview
A privately owned health care business that's been in business since 2001 needed a new developer to rebuild and modernize their website. They had their website built at the start of their venture and saw the effects of not updating in such a long time.

Frontend Developer

- Typescript

- Gatsby
- Tailwind CSS
Problem Statement
The Problem
Having built their website a few years back with Joomla, we analyzed different approaches that would be cost-effect, maintainable and performant.
The Solution
Having established that the content is doubtful to change, we opted for a custom solution using Gatsby for a static build and Netlify for cost-effective hosting.
The Results
We saw a significant decrease in load times while still looking modern and appropriately expressing their brand —with the added benefit of not having server issues.

Concluding notes
A brief backstory
Starting off my freelancing, a friend and I designed and built this website after getting the opportunity when Gerimed's developer decided to leave. I created the website and, said friend, designed it. About a year after we had launched the initial version, I decided to redo the website to better match what I could do.
This project was one of two projects that I did with the owner. Both projects have gone over two refactors, with the second project being much more complex.
