Optimizely consultant and architect

Optimizely CMS and Commerce give editors and shoppers a lot in one platform, and give developers many ways to build things that are hard to maintain. I help teams keep the solution clear: sensible content models, clean integrations and an upgrade path that stays open.

All services

When this is the right call

  • You are upgrading to a current Optimizely version, or moving to Optimizely from another CMS such as Umbraco, and need a plan.
  • Editors struggle with the content model, or every change needs a developer.
  • Product, price and order data have to flow between Optimizely Commerce and your CRM or other back-office systems.
  • The solution has grown hard to deploy, test or run in the cloud.

What I do

Architecture and solution review

A read of the solution as it is: content model, code structure, hosting and integrations, with the risks ranked and a sensible order of work.

Upgrades and migrations

Planning and de-risking the move to a current version, or to Optimizely from another platform, including the migration of content and data.

Commerce and integrations

Catalog, pricing and order flows connected to CRM and third-party systems, designed so that one slow system does not stall the checkout.

Custom development

Features, scheduled jobs and APIs in .NET and C#, built to be tested and handed over.

Questions

Do you work on Optimizely CMS, Commerce or both?
Both. They are usually deployed together, so I look at the two as one solution.
Can you help us move from Umbraco or another CMS to Optimizely?
Yes. The hard parts are usually the content model, the migration of existing content and URLs, and the editors’ working habits, so I plan those first.
