A dealership storefront that renders before the photos load

A national dealership group needed inventory, store pages and financing applications on one fast storefront, with content its marketing team could edit without a deploy.

The problem

Inventory changed constantly across dozens of dealership locations, and most shoppers arrived on mobile from paid ads — where a slow first paint costs the click that was already paid for.

What we built

We split the site by how often each surface changes: statically generated marketing and store pages, incrementally regenerated inventory, server-rendered search. Content moved into a CMS so campaigns stopped waiting on engineering.

01SSR / SSG / ISG split per route, chosen from change frequency rather than convention
02Per-dealership store pages with local inventory, hours and Google Maps integration
03Multi-step financing forms with resumable state and validation at each step
Outcome

The storefront shipped on schedule and handed content control to the client's marketing team. Ask us for the engagement summary and the Lighthouse numbers before and after.
