Building tools to support
and optimize Bleacher
Report’s website

Our full-stack development experts handled the conversion of Bleacher Report’s content to mobile formats for AMP, Facebook Instant Articles, and Apple News. The resulting solution ensured load times of less than 1 second on mobile, which had a major impact on the overall user experience.

Our team also owned the development of a data aggregation service complete with a modern UI. The solution we’ve built enables scheduling and customization of data flow for marketing experiments, data extraction, and data synchronization. In addition, our developers built the administration tools that support the main website of Bleacher Report.
