Description
For the Peregrine 30+ Pages Revamp, we developed a robust website in Framer featuring a custom CMS and integrated lead capture forms, designed to support Peregrine's mission-critical platform for public safety agencies. With over 11,000 unique monthly visitors and more than double the page views, it was essential to create a site that could handle high traffic reliably. This required not only a resilient infrastructure but also an extensive and precise design implementation, where we worked closely with Peregrine's in-house design team to ensure a 1:1 pixel-perfect reproduction across more than 30 pages.
Content strategy
To support their content strategy, we implemented four CMS collections, featuring custom categories, filters, and fields to enable easy content organization and updates. Framer's no-code form capabilities were optimized to capture leads more effectively, giving Peregrine's team complete control to modify forms as needed without any code. This made it incredibly simple for the team to manage their own lead capture processes, aligning with the site's overall ease of use and functionality.
Systematization through components
One of the highlights of this project was the extensive use of components, which allowed us to streamline the page-building process significantly. Thanks to a component-based system, Peregrine’s team can now create new pages in minutes rather than days, and publish them with a single click. These components empower the team to independently manage and expand the website, making future updates quick and code-free.
Automation with job board API
To further enhance functionality, we integrated a custom ReactJS component connected to Peregrine’s API, automatically listing job openings from their HR platform. This dynamic feature keeps career listings updated in real time, reducing manual maintenance and ensuring prospective candidates always have access to the latest opportunities.
Conclusion
The Peregrine website revamp demonstrates the power of Framer for creating a scalable, easy-to-manage digital presence that meets high-performance standards. Through meticulous CMS structuring, lead capture optimizations, and a sophisticated component system, we provided Peregrine with a robust and user-friendly platform. Now, Peregrine’s team is fully equipped to independently manage and expand their site with ease, supporting their growth while empowering their public safety mission.
