CMS-Driven Website with a Reliable Contact Flow
Status: delivered - Project Type: Website Development
Introduction
SugarCube Media needed a modern website that clearly presents their brand and services, while staying fast, easy to maintain, and straightforward for visitors to navigate. A key requirement was that the team could update content independently, without relying on development for every change.
Challenges
Keeping the site lightweight and responsive while still allowing flexible content updates.
Providing a contact flow that reliably delivers enquiries to the inbox (not just storing submissions).
Ensuring the build is maintainable and scalable for future updates.
Our Approach
I developed a single scrolling website made up of clear, distinct sections. The build focuses on speed, consistency and a predictable editing workflow. Content management was set up so text and sections can be updated quickly, without touching code.
Technical Approach
Framework: Next.js
Styling: Tailwind CSS
CMS: Payload CMS (to manage and edit content)
Contact form: SMTP email delivery via Nodemailer
Features Delivered
Payload CMS setup for simple content updates
Structured section-based layout for a clear visitor journey
Contact form with SMTP delivery (Nodemailer) for dependable message sending
Responsive implementation for desktop and mobile
Result
The outcome is a clean, fast website that is easy to maintain and supports a clear route from first impression to contact, with a dependable form setup for incoming enquiries.
