Brand New Design

The most noticeable change on the ProfStep website is our completely revamped design, showcasing a fresh and modern look. We've paid attention not only to a design that highlights our refreshed brand but also to an attractive and intuitive interface.

Our Challenges: 

Undoubtedly, no journey is without its challenges and difficulties, and we are no exception.

Performance and PWA Studio - The Saga of the Tricky Application

Optimizing PWA Studio was one of the first and most important challenges. The application was too cumbersome, but determination and a few cups of coffee completely shattered the bulkiness.

Navigating the Maze

Server-side routing with UPWARD was another complex task, so we meticulously developed a routing system, ensuring that every path would be efficient and error-free.

The Quest for Speed

Caching GraphQL was like troubleshooting a random failure in the middle of the night when every issue demanded immediate attention and swift solutions. The process of resolving data retrieval issues is undoubtedly useful and important.

Another detail was to optimize the JS - Webpack, by cutting unnecessary components into cubes. This was crucial for the website’s loading time.
