Proficient Solutions Website
For over two years since founding Proficient Solutions, we didn't have a proper company website. The irony wasn't lost on us—we built sophisticated internal tools for clients using React and Angular, creating interfaces people actually enjoyed using. But when it came to our own website, we kept defaulting to WordPress with generic themes.
It worked, but it always felt like a step back. Like being constrained by whatever the theme allowed, rather than building exactly what we needed.
Our new website is built with Next.js, React, and Sanity CMS—the same modern approach we take with client projects. For the first time, our website reflects the quality and craftsmanship we deliver every day.
The Problem
As a development agency, we faced an uncomfortable contradiction. We built modern, custom web applications for clients - tools with intuitive interfaces, performant architectures, and maintainable codebases. Yet our own company website didn't exist.
The blocker was simple: we refused to settle for WordPress with a generic theme. It felt wrong to represent our capabilities with something that didn't reflect our actual work. We wanted our website to showcase the same quality we deliver to clients.
But between client projects and growing the business, building a custom website kept getting pushed back. For two years, we operated without a proper online presence.
Our Approach
We decided to build our website exactly how we'd build a client project - with modern tools, clean architecture, and a focus on both developer and content editor experience.
Modern Stack First
We chose Next.js 16 with React 19 for the frontend. The same stack we recommend to clients for production applications. Server-side rendering for performance, TypeScript for type safety, and Tailwind CSS for maintainable styling.
Headless CMS for Flexibility
Sanity CMS gave us the flexibility of a headless architecture with visual editing capabilities. Content team members can edit pages in real-time using Sanity's Presentation Tool, seeing changes instantly without touching code.
Component-Driven Development
We used Schema UI's component library as a foundation, then customized it to match our brand. Block-based page building means we can create new pages and layouts without writing new components every time.
Production-Ready from Day One
Full GDPR compliance with Google Consent Mode v2, proper SEO implementation, and performance optimization. The same production checklist we use for client projects.
Key Capabilities:
Visual Content Editing
Sanity Studio provides a visual editing interface where content changes appear in real-time. No developer needed for content updates.
Block-Based Page Builder
Pages are composed of reusable content blocks - hero sections, feature grids, testimonials, and case studies. Mix and match to create new layouts.
Type-Safe Development
Full TypeScript implementation with auto-generated types from Sanity schemas. Catch errors at compile time, not in production.
Performance Optimized
Server-side rendering, image optimization, code splitting, and lazy loading. Lighthouse scores consistently above 95.
GDPR Compliant
Google Consent Mode v2 implementation with granular cookie controls. Users can accept, reject, or customize tracking preferences.
SEO Ready
Dynamic metadata generation, Open Graph images, structured data, and proper semantic HTML for search engine visibility.
Why Not Wordpress?
WordPress powers 43% of the web for good reasons - it's mature, well-supported, and has thousands of themes. But for us, it represented a compromise. Theme limitations meant we couldn't build exactly what we envisioned. Customization required fighting against the theme's opinions. And the developer experience didn't match what we use for client projects. We wanted full control over the architecture, performance, and user experience, which meant building custom.
The Developer Experience Matters
We spend more time in our codebase than anyone else. Type safety catches errors before they reach production. Hot module replacement means instant feedback during development. Component-driven architecture makes it easy to add new features. Git-based workflow enables proper version control and collaboration. These aren't luxuries; they're the same standards we maintain for client projects.
Results in Production
The website launched in December 2025, giving us a professional online presence that accurately represents our capabilities.

More importantly, we now have a website we're proud to share with potential clients. It demonstrates our technical capabilities better than any pitch deck could.
Why This Project Matters to Us
This project matters because it represents authenticity. We're no longer recommending modern stacks to clients while using outdated tools ourselves. Our website is built with the same care, attention to detail, and technical standards we bring to every client project.
It also proved that modern web development doesn't have to be slow or expensive. Two weeks from start to launch, including content creation and GDPR compliance. The tools exist to build professional websites quickly. If you know how to use them.
