Van Raam is a Netherlands-based manufacturer and world market leader of unique special needs bicycles for people with disabilities. They needed to modernize their outdated website.
Bejamas provided a solution that effectively showcased their offerings while ensuring a seamless experience for Van Raam's users and content editors.
The old website had inconsistent loading times—while it was fast in the Netherlands, performance dropped significantly in regions like the United States.
Using Next.js and hosting on Vercel, we reduced load times from 6-7 seconds to under 2 seconds across all regions, drastically improving speed and scalability.
Bejamas integrated DatoCMS, providing a scalable solution. The use of reusable, dynamic content blocks allows for easy updates and consistency across the site.
With Dato’s straightforward approach to localization, their team efficiently manages updates in English, Dutch, French, and German, while it’s easy to add more languages if needed.
DatoCMS’s intuitive user interface has improved the content management process for Van Raam’s editorial team.
With features like the Web Preview Plugin, editors can now preview changes in real time before publication, ensuring efficient and accurate content updates.
The integration of third-party services and APIs was limited and often required manual processes, slowing down operations.
Bejamas developed custom scripts and utilized webhooks to enable seamless automation with services like Algolia for search functionality.
The revamped website exemplifies how modern technology can transform user experience and content management.
Van Raam’s new website delivers optimized performance, easy content management, and scalability, setting them up for future growth.
