Thrill your customers

  1. Your website visitors demand rapid access to information about your products and services. If pages load in milliseconds on your customer’s desktop or mobile, you immediately stand out from competitors. We offer stable website speed improvements with Gatsby, the frontend web development technology.
  2. If your website serves up rich, interactive content and near-instantaneous navigation, your customers will be delighted. So will your prospects. A smooth user experience (UX) increases brand engagement and customer conversions. We offer enhanced UX design possibilities with Gatsby, the open-source web development technology.
  3. Google is primed to give your website high search visibility if it discovers it is fast. The websites we build with Gatsby’s JavaScript framework are superfast. Gatsby also exposes all its webpages to Google’s crawlers, by rendering them as highly cached, static resources. This makes it easy for Google to reward high-quality content.

Our amazing tech partnership

You can trust Fresh Egg to boost the speed and performance of your website with a Gatsby frontend. And that’s because of our amazing relationship with Gatsby HQ in San Francisco.

Small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK now have the opportunity to operate at the same web-performance level as big global brands. KFC, Comic Relief, Johnson & Johnson, Sainsbury's, and Costa Coffee all have Gatsby-powered websites. Now you can join them.

As a Gatsby agency partner, we are granted early access to the software company’s new products and features. We are also well-placed to make the most of the innovations and fixes created by the thriving Gatsby developer community.

Scale your business operations

Built-in data protection

A secure website prevents business data loss, protects your intellectual property and improves customer confidence. When we develop a Gatsby frontend for a website, its pre-rendering minimises the constant calls to a server and shuts down the window for unauthorised intrusion.

Reduced operation costs

Gatsby’s modular use of scripted components cuts development time for a website build. It frees up your budget for customised scoping and enables recruiting efforts to be focused on React developers, rather than multi-skilled developers. Its pre-rendering also cuts the server load on traffic-heavy websites.

Flexible CMS approach

Businesses that take a flexible approach to web technologies preserve operational agility and improve their chances of flourishing in uncertain times. When we design a high-speed website, the performance of our frontend Gatsby technology is not dependent on your backend CMS or e-commerce platform.

What our clients say

Headshot of Stacy Kirby

“I am immensely proud of what Fresh Egg have delivered. Our slick new website is stunningly fast, outperforming competitors! The feedback from the business has been so positive. Part of our original brief was to elevate the KFH brand and Fresh Egg nailed it with an exceptional web design that is clean, simple and elegant. We now have the best property site in London, and it was all achieved with minimal stress by the brilliant team at Fresh Egg.”

What our Gatsby partnership offers

  1. Gatsby pre-renders a static website all-at-once in an ‘edge network’ close to your customer’s device. Because data and content assets sit so close to the browser client, they can be delivered much more rapidly than from a traditional server. Your customers no longer have to wait for high-res images to load, even on mobile.
  2. Gatsby’s agile frontend enables content assets from different sources to be combined and presented alongside each other instantaneously.
  3. A Gatbsy-powered website gets high scores in Google’s Core Web Vitals index. Unlike older JavaScript frameworks, the Gatsby framework automatically makes all of its scripted content visible to search engines. SEO visibility is built into its webpage rendering model.
  4. Because Gatsby pre-renders pages and caches them client-side, it requires only initial server-side contact. The chances of your business suffering a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack are correspondinly reduced. As a bonus, your website is also protected from server-side instability and downtime.
  5. Gatsby makes use of the open-source React library. Our frontend developers tell React what kind of website they want and React does the work of assembling the necessary JavaScript components.
  6. Gatsby is interoperable with most commonly-used backend platforms, whether a CMS (eg WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Contentful) or an e-commerce platform (eg Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento). You don’t have to change your backend to have your website benefit from a Gatsby frontend.

Scale up with a headless CMS

Because Gatsby pre-renders webpages only when they change, there is much less content management activity that needs to happen at the backend. Gatsby decouples the frontend from the backend. As a result, it treats your CMS as if it were headless, even if it’s not.

If you don’t already have a headless CMS, then Gatsby offers a good reason to acquire one. A headless CMS offers a single manageable source for content with the possibility for multiple outputs. A single content element can be reused across web, apps and other platforms, making omnichannel marketing a cost-effective reality. Content elements can also be easily combined with each other to support multi-variant campaign testing.

Using a headless CMS with Gatsby gives your website scalability, resilience and adaptability. It also promotes an agile way of working which can result in content projects being finished quite rapidly.
