Project highlights

Visual identity and
website redesign

Ikius crafted a modern visual identity for Sisu Auto, combining contemporary design with the brand's rich heritage. This identity comes to life in a comprehensive website redesign, showcasing high-quality photography and videography, user-focused UI design, and a visually cohesive experience that respects the brand's history while driving it confidently into the future.

Migrating from WordPress to a modern web stack

Sisu Auto's old website was built on WordPress, which had signs of aging and some problems with performance. Ikius stepped in to migrate Sisu Auto's website to a modernized web stack (Dato CMS + Next.js + Vercel). The modernized stack supports the future growth of Sisu Auto.

Ready for future growth and development

The modular, composable and future-proof architecture allows new features, pages, and integrations to be rolled out easily, while Dato CMS enables easy content management without touching any code. This stack was built to adapt as Sisu Auto grows.
