Requirements + Technology

Motivation

Komodo is rebuilding its website for 2018 - 2019. Our previous website is a bespoke React centered frontend, that has served us well but proved difficult to modify and update without constant developer involvement, resulting in slow updates. This update is therefore focussed on:

• Creating a new solution with a fast TTL for new content
• Updating our teams skillbase, utilising modern technology
• Surfacing our internal practices with the public via open source.

Requirements

Below is a list of project requirements determined for the site. These are in no particular order, and some of them are “achieve as close to” rather than being bang on.

• IE11 support as much as possible
• Desktop Chrome, Firefox, Safari should support current major version and last major version
• Mobile Safari and Chrome shoudl support current major version
• Older browsers should be shown a one-pager explaining they are using an old browser, but still marketing Komodo.
• AA+ Accessibility support as defined by web accessibility standards group

• Google Lighthouse score of 99
• Sonarqube quality gate score of B
