Project Overview

Café Brändle is a local Swiss café known for its warm ambiance and artisanal offerings. To reflect its charm online, the café approached a Swiss Local Agency for a new website, who entrusted Klarplan AG with managing the project, who partnered with Soft Solutions4U for complete development and implementation using Redaxo CMS.

The objective was to deliver a sleek, SEO-friendly, and high-performance website that conveyed the café’s personality while ensuring fast load times, mobile responsiveness, and ease of content management.

Challenges & Solutions

Reusable Modular Architecture

  • To ensure flexibility and future scalability, we built modular, reusable templates and components within Redaxo.
  • This architecture allows editors to easily create or update pages with consistent design and layout, reducing maintenance efforts.

SEO-Friendly Architecture

To ensure high search visibility, we integrated custom metadata fields (title, description, keywords) into the backend, and used SEO-friendly URL structures.

Lazy Loading for Performance

The site uses lazy loading to improve user experience and reduce initial load time, especially on image-heavy pages. This ensures that media content loads only when visible in the viewport, resulting in smoother browsing.

CDN for Static Asset Delivery

  • Static content such as images, JavaScript, and style sheets is served through a Content Delivery Network (CDN).
  • This reduces server load, enhances page speed, and ensures a consistent experience across different geographic locations.

Massif Minify Addon for Code Efficiency

We implemented the Massif Minify add-on to:

  • Minify and bundle CSS/JS/SCSS files

  • Use cache-busting version strings

  • Automatically compile updated files

  • Integrate SCSS and dynamic JS with PHP

Impact:

  • Improved Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals scores

  • Faster page loading

  • Enhanced SEO performance

Multi-Purpose Modules for Editor Efficiency

We engineered each Redaxo module to support multiple content use-cases, reducing the total number of modules and simplifying backend management. The admin UI is intuitive, making updates quick and stress-free for non-technical users.

WebP Image Support with Fallback

To improve loading speed without sacrificing compatibility, we integrated WebP image support with automatic fallback to JPEG/PNG. This ensures that all visitors – regardless of browser – enjoy optimized visuals.
