Bringing Teleport to the new era of Composable Web

California-based IT infrastructure access provider, Teleport, reached out to Ikius for migrating their website to the new era of composable web and to implement marketing technology to enhance their digital services.

The result was a fast, high-performing website based on composable architecture, allowing for speed, flexibility, scalability, and much more. We've been collaborating since 2022, and continue to consult and support Teleport in all of their web development needs since then.

Highlights

Migrating to composable web

Teleport had a WordPress-based site, but it became an unfitting solution due to its outdated technology and limited possibilities. They needed something more. As the project started with planning and mapping out the needs for the new website, it became certain that migrating to composable architecture was the right choice. We built the new website with the composable technologies of Sanity CMS, Next.js and Vercel to achieve an utterly customizable, user-centric website.

Fully customizable website

Teleport needed a website that could evolve with their ambitions—a platform with no limitations holding them back. That's exactly what we delivered. We built a flexible, scalable website that is fully customizable and designed for limitless possibilities. We continue to refine and optimize the site, making sure it meets today's demanding standards and stays ahead of the curve.

Marketing tools development

Teleport needed to add marketing scripts, tools, and A/B testing to their website. We integrated these to track key metrics and used tools like Intellimize and Optimize to gather insights. With this data we were able to set up A/B testing to evaluate different marketing strategies, messages, and designs which give Teleport valuable insights on their digital marketing operations.

Migrating from Wordpress to Composable Web

Teleport's website used to rely on WordPress, but managing it became challenging because of outdated technology and a lack of user-friendly features. To revamp their website operations it was certain that they required a future-ready solution; a site built
on composable architecture.

We successfully transitioned their WordPress site to an innovative, customizable website based on composability that guarantees exceptional performance, excellent UI/UX, and customer satisfaction.

The process, step-by-step

1. Evaluation

In the first step, we evaluated how we should develop the structure of the new website. It was certain that a composable tech stack was the best option for Teleport, as they needed a highly flexible and scalable architecture that could match the demanding needs of their online presence.

2. Choosing the CMS

Together with Teleport, we researched and selected Sanity CMS, which aligned with their content management needs, scalability requirements, and integration capabilities. We considered factors such as ease of use, available features, API capabilities, and developer support, and Sanity was the perfect match.

3. Migration

We created a detailed plan outlining the migration process, timelines, and resource allocation. We Identified the content types, templates, metadata, and other elements that need to be migrated.

4. Content structure

After analyzing the existing Markdown content structure and mapping it to Sanity's structure, we identified the equivalent fields, taxonomies, and relationships in the CMS that could accommodate the existing content. 

5. Setting up content templates

We configured content templates in Sanity to match the desired structure and layout of Teleport's website. This included defining fields, content types, and relationships between different content elements. We then imported all the content using APIs. After this, the migration process was complete.


Teleport's new web architecture is based on a combination of reusable components, resulting in a tech stack that allows for flexibility, scalability, modularity, making it much more efficient and performing than before. We continue to develop, refactor, and optimize their web services that meet today's demanding standards in website quality.


Unlocking the potential with Headless CMS

We migrated Teleport's content from Markdown to Sanity, a leading Headless CMS platform, which separates the content management backend from the frontend presentation, providing unlimited ways in designing and delivering content.

Technology enhancing the website

2x increase in website performance

Migrating from server-hosted Markup to Sanity, Next.js, and Vercel gave Teleport a massive boost in performance. The website saw a 2x performance increase in page loading speeds measured with Google Lighthouse. The site has been optimized for Google Core Web Vitals (including LCP, DIF, CLS).

Marketing tools and script integrations

Teleport needed to integrate marketing scripts, tools, and A/B testing as a part of the new website. This involved implementing scripts to capture key metrics and gather valuable insights with marketing tools such as Intellimize and Optimize.

Using this data, we created a comprehensive A/B testing framework built with marketing tools and script integrations to test various marketing strategies, messaging, and designs, which in turn help Teleport gain valuable insights on their digital marketing practices.

AA-level accessibility

Following the WCAG 2.1 standard, we created accessibility guidelines into Teleport's Next.js-based website, including full support for screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Modern technologies

Teleport's WordPress site needed to be rehauled to composable architecture to be able to stay ahead of the curve. Migrating to a modern tech stack with Sanity CMS, Next.js, and Vercel gave Teleport a more efficient, user-friendly foundation to work with, making it easier for them to expand and elevate their online presence without limits holding them back.

Headless CMS

While developing the site we worked on integrating and developing Teleport's enterprise content management with Sanity.io, which is a highly customizable Headless CMS. It's perfect for a company like Teleport.

Front-end

Next.js was chosen as the front-end framework for the new website, which is arguably the golden standard for creating modern websites. Given the up-to-date Next.js setup, Teleport's new website will be future-ready.

    Deployment

    Teleport chose Vercel as their website's cloud deployment platform, which is the go-to option for deploying a Next.js application. We made sure that everything with the website deployments worked fluently.
