VARIO Software Website

Overview

For the VARIO Software website relaunch I built the back end and a custom Sass compiler. The website is based on WordPress with PHP and MySQL – the focus was on a solid back-end architecture, a modular styling system and performant delivery of the ERP and inventory management product pages.

Scope

• Back-end logic with PHP and MySQL for dynamic product pages
• Custom Sass compiler for modular, themeable stylesheets
• Custom WordPress theme with optimised database structure
• Build pipeline with automated Sass compilation and asset optimisation

Challenges

• Mapping complex styling requirements of various product pages through a unified Sass system
• Implementing performant back-end logic for dynamic content and lead funnels in PHP
• Integrating the Sass compiler into the existing WordPress build process without extra overhead for the development team

Tech stack & specifics

• WordPress with custom theme and PHP back end
• MySQL for product data, leads and dynamic content
• Custom Sass compiler for modular, themeable styling with automated compilation
• Caching & performance optimisation for fast delivery of complex product pages

Result

The back end serves product pages reliably and fast. The Sass compiler enables the team to maintain styles modularly and add new industry pages without styling overhead.

Business impact

• Stable back-end infrastructure as a foundation for future extensions
• Modular styling system reduces effort when creating new landing pages
• Improved load times through caching and an optimised asset pipeline
