A Quick Recap of Adobe Edge Delivery Services
Adobe Edge Delivery Services is a robust platform designed for optimizing website performance and re-imagining content authoring. It focuses on site performance and enabling seamless content/asset integration, resulting in a fast digital experience and scalability, making it an ideal choice for Blue Acorn iCi’s website backbone.
Transitioning from WordPress to Adobe's Edge Delivery Services
A few months ago, Blue Acorn iCi announced it was moving from WordPress to Edge Delivery Service to help our marketing team have more flexibility and better control over our brand. That migration was just the beginning. Since then, our team of experts has completed phase two of the transition, evolving beyond the simple content migration to a full-scale brand reinvention.
Lessons Learned: Insights from Our Digital Journey
01
Balancing Speed and Design
We discovered the importance of balancing high-speed performance with aesthetic design, prioritizing performance without compromising visual identity.
02
Embrace Simplicity
The journey reiterated the value of simplicity in web design – focusing on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for better, more reliable outcomes.
03
Block First Approach
Adopting a block/component level approach, similar to a modular mindset, helped us move away from traditional page-centric development, resulting in a more scalable and maintainable website structure.
04
Media Optimization
Optimizing media will continue to have a significant impact on site performance and user experience. Yes, Edge Delivery does have some out-of-the-box capabilities, but it often encounters reminders to enhance media at a deeper level.
05
Rethinking Development Processes
Shifting to Edge Delivery encouraged our team to re-evaluate and refine our development processes to better align with the capabilities and advantages offered by the platform. We were able to truly act in an agile fashion and deliver components at greater speeds.
