Key Decisions
1.
Server vs Client Side
The client loved the smooth animations which brought his site to life. But, I used the 'motion' library which renders Client-side. This was a huge deal as the client wanted to improve discoverability via SEO, which Client-side makes much harder. I ended up building a reusable Client-component which wraps around content. This way, the content stayed server-rendered for maximum SEO while keeping the cool animations.
2.
Mobile Responsiveness
Most of the web's traffic is through mobile, it only made sense to go with a mobile-first approach to making my client's website - especially for SEO. The end result was almost like a unique experience on both mobile and desktop while keeping everything that was necessary in its correct place.
