It's been years overdue but finally I've had a chance to work on the website. The old site was definitely dated and needed a refresh! I took this opportunity to update the backend as well. I converted the website stack from a Wordpress-based CMS to a responsive web application built with Gatsby and Contentful. Gatsby is based on the popular React front end for building responsive web applications and Contenful is a headless content management system.

The website content is modelled and stored in Contentful and the data is accessed through their content API. The data is then presented in the Gatsby frontend, which pulls the data and builds a static version of the website. This results in a really fast and responsive website and reduces the risk of security threats that come with many dynamic web application frameworks.
