The primary challenge was smoothly migrating extensive content to a CMS platform capable of supporting high traffic and functionality without any downtime. The original site, with over fifteen products, had grown disjointed due to varied directions by each product team. This process started with a thorough content audit, organizing thousands of pages for editing and deep comparative analysis. The unification was visually emphasized through the brand’s apex logo and extension marks, employing color and blockchain-inspired design to articulate both unity and individuality.
Understanding that Percona’s main users, developers, are fast and goal-oriented, the previous site’s text-heavy approach was revamped. The introduction of over 50 bespoke static icons and more than 20 interactive motion icons, along with dynamic, colorful geometric backgrounds and overlapping layouts, enhanced the user interface, capturing attention and encouraging exploration.
The redesigned and re-coded site not only improved Percona’s SEO but also achieved a modern, on-brand appearance that supports long-term scalability. The updated content management system ensures rapid updates, helping Percona stay agile in a dynamic digital environment. This successful overhaul underscores Percona’s dedication to innovation in database solutions, reinforcing its position as a technology leader.
