A modern agency soaring in the cloud
The project with digg.se stood out in several ways. One unique aspect was that the client didn’t even exist when we began working in June 2018. DIGG was set to launch on 1 September, and before that, we at Esatto needed to get all the technical aspects in place. We were writing code and dreaming up architecture. The mission was to build a website that showcases DIGG as forward-thinking and a digital role model for other agencies.
Benefits of moving the website to the cloud
Thanks to Episerver Digital Experience Cloud (DXC), the entire solution is hosted in the cloud. Moving your website to the cloud offers several advantages, including the ability to adjust capacity based on traffic, allowing more resources to handle temporary traffic spikes. This can result in significant cost savings for your business by minimising server space requirements.
With the website in the cloud, the software updates automatically, ensuring you always have the latest version and stay ahead of the curve. By moving operations to the cloud, your business can reduce resources spent on maintenance and focus more on core activities.
Digg.se was also an early adopter of "headless" architecture. This means content management is separated from the graphical interface, making it easy to use the website's content across other channels and contexts—such as an app, another website, or any other digital platform where you want to display your content.
Business value through an innovative website
To create business value, a website must contribute to both short-term and long-term results, requiring your company to have a clear vision of how you want to be perceived—now, and in ten or twenty years. The website should reflect your business idea, your identity and your tone of voice. For DIGG, we created a website that is flexible and easy to integrate with other applications, thanks to smart APIs. It has a long lifespan and is simple for editors and communicators to use. Additionally, it’s faster to develop due to solid coding and architecture. It embodies everything DIGG needs to be—the future.
