Your homepage, rebuilt on your platform. While you watch.
The homepage rebuild is the playbook Cypher runs in a demo. It points at your live homepage, breaks it into components and content, and rebuilds it on your platform, pixel for pixel, while you watch. You keep a replay of every step and a plain account of what the rest of your site would take.
What you get
- Your real homepage, rebuilt on your platform, not a mock-up
- The replay of every step: who did what, with which tool, and what happened
- What the rest would take: the pages, templates and components still to build, in writing
- A feel for the three decisions a full build would ask of you
How it runs
- Tell it the siteYou share your homepage and the platform you run. Cypher checks what it can see and writes down what it finds.
- It reads the pageThe specialists break the homepage into components and content, the same way a full build’s discovery does.
- It builds, on your platformComponents first, then the page, each checked against your live homepage before it moves on.
- You watch, and askYou see the team at work on the Floor. Ask Cypher anything, in a sentence.
- You keep the replayEvery action is on the record, so you can replay the build afterwards, step by step, and show anyone.
What it checks
The same checks a full build uses, on one page:
- The rebuilt page against the live one, at phone, tablet and desktop widths
- Accessibility and speed on the rebuilt page
- That every component can be edited the way your team edits today
What you decide
Nothing, unless you want to: a demo runs on Cypher’s picks. In a full build, about three decisions are yours, each arriving with Cypher’s pick, its reason and a deadline.
Which platforms
Sitecore, Optimizely and Contentful are home turf, and any enterprise platform works. Tell us what you run when you book.
Questions people ask
Is the rebuild real, or a mock-up?
Real. Cypher rebuilds your homepage on your platform, with components your team could edit. You watch it being built, not a slide about it.
What do you need from us?
Your homepage and the platform you run. Cypher asks for anything else it needs, and nothing it doesn’t.
How long is the demo?
Thirty minutes, on your site. No slides.
What happens after?
You keep the replay and an account of what the rest would take. If you like what you saw, we talk about the next playbook. If not, you’ve seen something new.
