With over 60+ pages, the site includes custom post types for case studies, blog posts, services, and team members. A Figma-first design approach ensured pixel-perfect layouts, enhanced with a fullscreen mega menu, category filtering for insights and work, and CPT-driven team and careers pages. The site maintains its strong SEO foundation using RankMath and includes dynamic interactivity with custom JavaScript.
