Sourcecode Australia
Corporate website for a B2B fintech consulting firm, built for performance and lead generation with a headless CMS and optimised Core Web Vitals.
The Challenge
Replacing a slow, template-based WordPress site with a performant, content-editable platform that the non-technical marketing team could update independently without developer intervention.
The Solution
Adopted a Next.js static generation approach with a headless CMS for content ownership, automated Vercel preview deployments for stakeholder review, and a component-driven design system for consistent UI.
Sourcecode Australia is a fintech consulting firm specialising in payments infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and digital banking for Australian financial institutions. Their previous website was a slow WordPress theme that scored poorly on Core Web Vitals and made content updates a developer dependency. The project objective was a modern, fast, and independently editable corporate presence that reflected the firm’s technical credibility.
Challenge
The client’s marketing team needed full editorial control over service descriptions, case studies, and team profiles without touching code. At the same time, the site needed to score near-perfect on Google Lighthouse to support the firm’s SEO strategy in a competitive B2B market. Balancing rich visual design with extreme performance required deliberate trade-offs in image loading, font rendering, and JavaScript delivery.
Solution
Next.js with static site generation at build time delivers pre-rendered HTML for every page, resulting in sub-1.2-second load times globally via Vercel’s Edge Network. Content lives in a headless CMS with a structured content model that enforces consistency while giving editors flexibility. A bespoke design system built on Tailwind CSS ensures brand compliance across all pages. Automated Vercel preview URLs for each CMS publish event let stakeholders review changes before they go live — eliminating the “just push it” culture that plagued the previous workflow.
