WebBurrito is the flagship website for a modern web development agency, built to be fast, scalable, and easy to evolve as the business grows. The site is live at https://webburrito.uk, serving as both a marketing platform and a technical showcase. The goal of the project was to create a polished marketing site that also acts as a proving ground for best‑in‑class engineering practices — from performance and DX, all the way through to deployment and infrastructure.

The Challenge

The site needed to do more than just look good. It had to:

• Perform exceptionally well for SEO and real users
• Be easy to maintain and extend with new content
• Enforce code quality automatically as the codebase grows
• Deploy reliably with infrastructure that mirrors real production workloads

The Solution

WebBurrito was built using Next.js, combining a fast, SEO‑friendly frontend with custom API endpoints to support dynamic functionality without relying on external services. This allowed tight control over performance, data flow, and future feature expansion.

Content across the site is powered by Markdown and MDX, making it simple to write rich, structured pages while still allowing React components to be embedded directly into content. This approach keeps content authoring flexible without sacrificing developer control.

Tooling & Automation

To maintain a high bar for quality, the project includes custom GitHub Actions that automatically run linting and tests on every pull request. This ensures that issues are caught early, keeps the main branch stable, and enforces consistent standards across the codebase.

On the infrastructure side, the site is deployed using a custom Kubernetes setup, providing a production‑grade environment with scalability and resilience built in from day one. This setup closely reflects how larger SaaS platforms are deployed, making it easy to grow traffic and features without re‑architecting later.

Results

Since launch, the new WebBurrito website has delivered measurable results:

• 100% increase in organic traffic, driven by improved performance and SEO
• Faster load times across desktop and mobile devices
• A streamlined content workflow that makes updates quick and low‑friction

Takeaways

This project demonstrates how modern web tooling — when combined with solid engineering practices — can produce a site that is not only visually strong, but also technically robust. WebBurrito now has a platform that supports growth, experimentation, and long‑term maintainability without compromise.
