The project involved migrating the J.P. Schneider website from an outdated Gatsby version to a modern and efficient tech stack based on Remix . The migration focused on improving site performance, streamlining content management processes, and ensuring a scalable, future-proof solution. The result was a faster, more reliable website.
Objective & Solution
Six years after launching their original website, the client remained satisfied with the content management experience and design. However, parts of the site had become a maintenance burden. The goal was to migrate J.P. Schneider’s website from Gatsby to a modern, flexible platform without compromising the existing content and design, while ensuring future scalability.
After evaluating various approaches, the team decided to replace the frontend framework and data fetching while retaining the rest of the tech stack. The transition was straightforward due to the stable nature of React, the use of (S)CSS modules for styling, and Vite’s convenient default configuration.
