How to bring a mid-size company web into the 21st century using STRAPI.
Build an ecosystem, that will supercharge the creation of new sections & articles!
Make everyone a content creator with STRAPI v4.
What will you gain by using this approach?
- You will gain a central hub that stores all the data and components.
For all your websites, sub-websites and promo pages… - Test PoC websites with components you already have in your ecosystem.
and gain the power of sharing the same data - Lower the barrier to creating content
and allow non-technical users to create and change content - Only give them access to the parts they need
and they can’t mess up the rest - Great UX that non-dev people understand
way nicer editor-part than WordPress - Written in Javascript — your devs can manage it.
After an agency develops the solution for you, your team can manage it.
No vendor lock, all code is open-source - Be self-sufficient and quick. Beat your competitors
Think of STRAPI as a modern, lightweight WordPress.
But cooler, faster and way easier to modify.
So you might be thinking what is STRAPI?
A French startup founded in 2015 that raised $10M (then $31M more) and is becoming the hot new thing in the corporate web world.
1) It makes content creation available to everyone in your company.
2) It allows you to publish content faster.
⚠️A quick word of caution:
By itself, STRAPI is still a great tool but is even better as a blank canvas module to build upon.
Hence the reason for this article is to show you how far can you take STRAPI with a bit of custom development. 🚀
That is nice on paper, but has any REAL company already done it?
Yes, we have already helped 10+ companies to transform their web ecosystem in this way.
A great example is the Direct family Insurance company.
Voted the best insurance company in Czech they went for this solution.
Together we integrated ourselves as part of their team and created an all-in-one solution.
🏰 The promised land of such STRAPI integration:
The vision is that each department will have its subpage and its role to manage all its content. In this case:
Main web: https://www.direct.cz/
Cars insurance section: https://www.direct-auto.cz/
Hiring section: https://www.chcidodirectu.cz/
Other sections they can easily create
These changes will be propagated to the main page and the underlying components will be shared (therefore consistent).
Then when the external SEO audit comes in, they will have also limited access to what they need to see and optimize.
The benefits are:
- Self-reliance (no devs for new sites)
- Vast speed from idea to a published site
- Safety that is given by the roles (across different sites, PoCs,…)
- Further customizability
- Visual consistency by sharing components (across different sites, PoCs,…)
- Data consistency by using the same underlying data source (across different sites, PoCs,…)
