Live Website: vertrical.com
Vertical is a trailblazer in providing IT services to healthcare institutions, helping them optimize operations and deliver better patient outcomes. They needed a modern, high-performing website that could showcase their services effectively, drive engagement, and serve as a foundation for future expansions. I worked on this project under a tight deadline, delivering a highly optimized landing page within just four days, followed by the implementation of dynamic content pages.

Project Overview

To create a sleek, fast-loading, and user-friendly website that reflects Vertical’s expertise in healthcare IT while ensuring flexibility for future updates.

Deliverables

A visually engaging and performance-optimized homepage designed for instant load times.
Dynamic Content Pages
Blog, cornerstone, and ‘About Us’ pages dynamically sourced from a Content Management System (CMS).
Seamless integration with Contentful for managing content without developer involvement.
Future Scalability
Built a scalable structure allowing healthcare institutions to expand their online presence as needed.

Key Features Delivered

1. Performance-Optimized Static Homepage

Leveraged Next.js static generation features like getStaticProps to build a homepage that loads instantly.
Prioritized core web vitals (loading, interactivity, and visual stability) to enhance the user experience.

2. Dynamic Content Pages

Integrated Contentful CMS with Next.js to enable dynamic fetching of content for blog, cornerstone, and ‘About Us’ pages.
Implemented getStaticPaths and getStaticProps functions to pre-render dynamic pages at build time, ensuring fast and SEO-friendly performance.
