The Problem

Empire Exchange was a brand-new business that needed to get online fast. They had no existing web presence and needed a professional platform that could handle customer enquiries, bookings, and clearly communicate their services — all within a tight timeline and budget.

Off-the-shelf templates wouldn't cut it. They needed something that felt bespoke but could be delivered at speed.

Our Solution

We built a custom web application from scratch using a modern stack optimised for performance and developer experience. The entire project — from discovery to deployment — was completed in just two weeks.

Key Design Decisions

  • Mobile-first: Over 70% of their target audience browses on mobile, so we designed for phones first and scaled up to desktop.
  • Performance-obsessed: Static generation, optimised images, and minimal JavaScript for sub-2-second load times.
  • Self-service admin: Content can be updated without developer involvement.

Features Delivered

  • Responsive landing page with clear service descriptions
  • Integrated enquiry form with email notifications
  • Booking system with calendar integration
  • SEO-optimised pages with structured data
  • Analytics dashboard integration

Tech Stack

  • Framework: Next.js 14 (App Router)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS
  • Forms: Formspree
  • Hosting: Vercel
  • Analytics: Google Analytics 4

Results

  • 2-week delivery — from first call to production
  • 95+ Lighthouse score across all metrics
  • Integrated booking system reducing manual back-and-forth
  • Zero downtime since launch day
