Revving Up McLaren Group’s Digital Engine with Advanced Technologies
We dove headfirst into the world of JAMstack architecture, recognising its potential for boosting website speed, enhancing security, and improving SEO. By utilising Next.js for the frontend, we ensured that McLarenGroup’s website wasn’t just about speed; it was also about delivering a smooth, interactive user experience.
Prismic CMS with Slice Machine was our choice for content management, enabling McLaren Group’s admin and editors to build and edit web pages effortlessly. This flexibility in content management mirrors the precision and adaptability found in McLarenGroup’s own ethos.
