The Seabu Digital company website is a flagship project designed to embody the agency’s creative versatility, technical prowess, and international scope. Built using Astro, DatoCMS, and Alpine.js, the site combines high performance with rich interactivity—all while maintaining an elegant, minimalist codebase.
At its core, Astro was chosen for its modern, island-based architecture, enabling ultra-fast static rendering with selective hydration. This ensures that only the components that need interactivity are hydrated on the client side—resulting in superior page speed and exceptional Core Web Vitals scores.
DatoCMS powers the content layer, offering Seabu's globally distributed marketing teams an intuitive, scalable CMS for managing everything from service pages to team bios, case studies, and blog content. The CMS schema is modular and component-driven, mapping directly to the site's frontend structure for seamless authoring. SEO fields, Open Graph previews, and localization-ready models ensure content is search-optimized and globally accessible.
To enable lightweight yet dynamic UI interactions—such as mobile menus, modals, content toggles, scroll-based effects, and form behaviors—Alpine.js was introduced. Its declarative syntax fits perfectly into Astro’s partial hydration model, allowing Seabu to add just the right amount of JavaScript without the overhead of a full SPA framework like React or Vue. Alpine.js helps deliver smooth interactivity while keeping the bundle lean and accessible.
The website also integrates:
A design system aligned with Figma, implemented through Astro components and DatoCMS blocks.
A scalable deployment workflow through Vercel, with preview links auto-generated for editorial collaboration and QA.
Structured schema markup and image optimization pipelines to maximize SEO and discoverability.
Together, the combination of Astro + DatoCMS + Alpine.js provides the perfect trifecta of speed, flexibility, and interactivity—delivering a performant, globally-ready digital presence that reflects Seabu Digital’s brand values and creative ambition.
