Cases

Some example cases our company has worked on. All showcased cases are shown with the permission of the client.

Hokkaido Entrepreneurship Expo website

A website for the Hokkaido Entrepreneurship Expo, an organization which promotes entrepreneurship in Hokkaido, Japan. The website was built using Vue3, with Vite as the build tool. The website is hosted on GitHub Pages, with the backend running as a GCP Cloud Function, written in Golang. This deployment setup allows for a fast and responsive website, with very minimal costs. The website is designed for responsiveness, with a mobile-first design.

The entire backend infrastructure, is defined using Infrastructure as Code principles, and is managed using Terraform. All deploys happen fully automatically towards both production and staging environments, using GitHub Actions, allowing a very fast and efficient development process, as well as fast rollbacks in case of issues.

The website's 'Live Expo' feature allows users to see the currently pitching startup in real-time, as well as a list of all participating startups. We built an admin panel for the client to manage the startups and the live expo feature. The startup data, and other data served to the website, is stored in a PostgreSQL database, hosted on Digital Ocean. The website is also integrated with Google Analytics, to track user interactions and website performance. The 'Live Expo' feature is only live during the actual expo event, and is disabled otherwise.

The websites job board feature, allows startups to post job listings, and for job seekers to apply to these listings. The job board is integrated with the admin panel, allowing the client to manage the job listings. All job postings must be approved by the client, before they are shown on the website.

The decisions made in the development of this website, were made with the goal of keeping costs low, while still providing a fast and responsive website. The website is designed to be easy to maintain and update, with the use of Infrastructure as Code, and automated deploys. The slightly low-spec database, was an active tradeoff, to keep the expenses as low as possible, and just one example of how we always help our clients understand the tradeoffs they are making, and help them priritize the system requirements that are most important to them.
