Challenge

Wanamaker's asked Magnet to build a robust thoroughbred horse bidding platform that would combine the magic of a live auction with the convenience of online bidding.

Solution

The solution needed to be modern, dependable and user-friendly, with a robust CMS and powerful, reliable real-time bidding software that would catapult Wanamaker's into the forefront of the online horse auction industry. We developed a custom Laravel, Nuxt and Stripe platform to achieve this.

Result

We met our performance benchmark for the system of 10,000 active bidders within 100ms of each other with no discernible lag. The Wanamaker's website and bidding platform was built and launched in a six month production cycle, and is continuing to attract more customers every month.

Challenge

TruBlue needed a modern, functional website that provided flexibility for franchise owners while attracting new customers across the brand. A thriving franchise with over 50 national locations, the site had to allow owners to customize their locations in a hassle free way.

Solution

A JAMSTACK approach was the perfect fit, powered by Laravel on the backend, with Nuxt and VueJS powering the frontend, and Sanity as the CMS. Leveraging these technologies, we minimized monthly maintenance costs and created a custom experience for franchise owners to update their location pages.

Result

The new site has been live for 4 months. Lighthouse page performance metrics increased from 16 to 100 overnight. Monthly organic visitors have increased by between 10-40% compared to the previous year. Bounce times have decreased. Keywords are more relevant and continue ranking hire in searches.
