Goal
Create a storytelling platform for a travel writer who explores destinations around the world. The website needed to support long-form articles, image galleries, and drone footage while being built for growth. As the client continues to travel and write, the site should scale effortlessly with new countries and stories. The end goal is to build an audience and eventually monetize through affiliate partnerships.

Challenge
The content-heavy nature of the project, with extensive image galleries and drone videos from remote locations, required careful attention to performance. The site also needed a flexible structure that could grow organically as new destinations and articles are added, without becoming cluttered or slow over time.
Solution
Built a scalable website with SSR for fast page loads despite heavy media content. Connected to a headless CMS so the client can publish articles independently from anywhere in the world. Designed a flexible content architecture that organizes stories by country and region, ready to expand as the journey continues. Optimized video loading and image delivery for smooth performance across all devices.
