A sophisticated digital platform for the literary and publishing world in the UAE: large book exhibitions, publishing activity, author engagement and cultural events, all run from one CMS.
It is built on Next.js with Sitecore JSS: editors compose pages in Sitecore and the front end renders them as fast React pages. With many page types, many sections and heavy traffic around each event, scale and consistency mattered as much as the look.
I took primary ownership of the Next.js and Sitecore JSS implementation and worked directly in Sitecore on selected areas. Visitors register through multistep forms that end in a generated PDF, engineered to keep load off the server, and the forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA.
