Stanford

Our work with Stanford University is guided by a joint commitment to digital excellence—crafting an online experience that mirrors the university's prestige and vision. By implementing a flexible, high-performance toolkit with Next.js, Prismic, and Vercel, we built a new foundation that grants editorial teams unprecedented control and agility. This represents a foundational shift, equipping Stanford with a cohesive, scalable platform built to adapt, lead, and serve its users well into the future.

Next-Generation Performance with Advanced Rendering

The powerful build-time optimizations of Next.js, combined with its next-generation hybrid rendering architecture, deliver a near-instant, highly responsive user experience for the Stanford platform. This allows the site to intelligently blend static speed with dynamic content, guaranteeing top-tier performance and reliability even during high-traffic surges.

Flexible Content Modeling with an Intuitive UI

By leveraging the intuitive visual builder and flexible modular content models of DatoCMS, Stanford's editorial teams are empowered to create and iterate on complex layouts with true autonomy. This component-based approach streamlines content operations, allowing marketers and editors to build dynamic, on-brand pages without requiring constant developer intervention.

Unifying Innovation with a Modern Design System

A dynamic, component-based architecture paired with an intuitive modern design system elegantly unifies the Frontier Technology Lab microsite, blending the lab's distinct dimensions—from its core mission and research to its educational programs and creative studio. This flexible foundation empowers the Stanford team to seamlessly publish content, showcase events, and share groundbreaking work, clearly communicating the lab's leadership at the intersection of technology and real-world innovation.

Elevating Digital Experience

While the legacy site relied on static, disconnected sections that struggled to convey a professional edge, the new platform introduces a radically different digital atmosphere. This comprehensive redesign replaces the former disorganization with a fluid, cohesive narrative backed by modern infrastructure. The result is a dramatic shift in tone—transforming a simple web presence into a dynamic, sophisticated destination that truly mirrors the innovative caliber of the Frontier Technology Lab.
