Architects cannow spec Optimawith ease.

We helped Optima showcase their exceptional glass partition systems worldwide with regionalised content. With a document control system, secure logins and full site editing, we make Optima found, trusted, and chosen.

Before

Complex products. A website that made them harder.

Partition systems. Door ranges. Sound ratings, fire ratings, CAD and BIM files. Buyers in 5 regions. The old site put all of it on the page at once.

  1. Architects phoned for spec files.

    Datasheets and BIM files were buried or out of date. Every spec waited on a call to Optima’s team.

    Fixed in our solution
  2. One site for the whole world.

    US architects got millimetres and UK English. Every figure needed converting before it could go in a spec.

  3. Slow, worst on phones and overseas.

    The main photo took 11.5 seconds to show on a phone. Most people won’t wait that long.

How it’s structured

How we did it, layer by layer.

Like one of Optima’s glass walls, the site is built in layers. Watch it come apart and see what each layer does. Skip ahead whenever you like, or drag the drawing to turn it.

Content, kept in WordPress.

This is where Optima’s team works. Words, photos and files all live here. Edit a page, press Publish, done.

  • Systems, doors, projects, news and downloads each have their own place.
  • WordPress sits at its own address, apart from the public site.
  • Editors use normal WordPress screens. No code needed.

Drawings on this page are simplified.

Data, passed up the line.

WordPress doesn’t decide how anything looks. It hands the content over as plain data, a bit like a parts list.

  • This is called “headless”. The design is kept apart from the content.
  • So the design can change without touching the content, and the other way round.
  • One set of content feeds every page and every tool.

The front end, built with Nuxt.

Nuxt takes the data and builds each page from reusable parts: headers, system cards, galleries and forms.

  • Pages arrive as finished HTML, so they show quickly and search engines can read them.
  • One template serves every system. Another serves every project.
  • It also runs the tools: the resource library, the acoustic simulator and the portal.

Delivery: the right size, in the right place.

Before a page reaches you, the details are tuned for your screen and your part of the world.

  • Each photo is saved as WebP in several widths, from 320 to 3,200 pixels. Phones get small files.
  • Photos further down the page load only when you scroll to them.
  • A region picker, plus tags that point search engines to each regional version.
  • The site is served through Cloudflare.

The finished page.

All four layers, pressed flat into one page. This is the live Optima homepage, captured in October 2026.

  • What visitors see is simple. The layers underneath keep it that way.
  • Every page on the site is built the same way, from the same parts.

Highlights

Some of our favourite bits.

Three parts of the Optima site we especially enjoyed building.

  • Optima homepage with its headline and curved photo frame.

    Homepage

    A short, bold welcome, then a clear way into the systems.

  • The Optima resources library, with filters by file type and by system.

    Resource library

    Every guide, spec, certificate and test report in one searchable list.

  • The Revolution 100 system page with its page menu and Add to spec button.

    System page

    One template for every partition system, from Optima 117 Plus to Revolution® 100.

FAQ

Questions about this build.

Thinking about something similar? These are the questions we hear most.

WordPress holds the content. A separate front end, here built with Nuxt, shows it to visitors. Editors still log in to WordPress as normal. They just never see the code that draws the pages.

It builds pages from reusable parts and sends finished HTML, which helps speed and search. It also makes custom tools easier to build, like a file library or an acoustic simulator.

No. For many sites, normal WordPress is simpler and costs less. Headless earns its place when you have lots of products, files, regions or custom tools. We’ll tell you honestly which suits you.

Yes. Book a call and tell us about your products and your buyers. We’ll suggest a set-up and send a short plan with a fixed price. See website development for how we work.
