Enhancing the user experience with progressive web development

Forever seeking out new technological frontiers, Harrison Carloss continues to push boundaries by utilising more fluid build methods to deliver a better user experience.

Foster Denovo, a multi-award-winning national firm of financial advisers and the innovators behind MyAdvicePlace (MAP), sought a visually appealing and animation-rich showcase site for their product. Our experienced and creative developers were eager to deploy some of their web development wizardry to deliver flawless UX.

What we did

We used a powerful JavaScript library called Barba.js that makes a website run like a single-page application. This means the website doesn’t reload when visiting different pages across the site, reducing the time it takes to load new content. Instead, users experience seamless and dynamic transitions when navigating between content.

Despite looking impressive and complex on the front end, a Barba.js website build is fully compatible with WordPress, meaning clients still have ownership of their website content.

Why MAP was the perfect candidate for progressive web development

The MAP platform offers affordable financial advice from qualified experts as well as a number of budgeting and financial planning tools. As a paid service, it was of paramount importance that the website delivered a calm and professional user experience. The smooth transitions between pages keep the user engaged and maximise the chances of conversion.

The MAP website was the perfect opportunity to use Barba.js as it was modestly-sized and the design and content lent itself well to the slick animations as new content loads in. Our developers were able to explore new ways to be creative that allowed us to meet the client’s brief.

A future with Barba.js

Our experience in single-page applications (SPAs) and JavaScript libraries like Barba.js has taken our development capabilities beyond conventional methods. This technology could be implemented into almost any website to provide a smoother user journey, fast page load speeds, and dynamic animation.
