Case study

HKUST CBSA center site

In short

A research center's public site.

Built the centre's website on Next.js with Strapi behind it, so staff could publish news, events and research without touching code. The site has since been redesigned.

What it is

The Center for Business and Social Analytics is a research center at HKUST. Its public site is where the centre publishes what it does: its research, its people, its events and its projects.

What I built

I built the site on Next.js with Strapi as the CMS behind it. The decision that mattered was putting a CMS in at all: a research centre publishes constantly, and a site that needs a developer for every announcement goes stale within a term. With Strapi, the people who actually run the centre could publish without going through me.

Note

The screenshot above is my build. The center's site has since been redesigned, so what is live today is different.
