Initially, 5874 were tasked with upgrading GTSE’s Cornerstone theme with the aim of reaping the benefits of 5874’s Site Speed research and data layer functionality. GTSE also wanted there to be a focus on support that was backed by a higher calibre of expertise than they were receiving previously.

Like any project, there were challenges that the team had to overcome. As GTSE had passed through other agencies before 5874, the codebase required extra care when performing updates, theme upgrades and developing their Global Model. This meant spending some time familiarising themselves with the current GTSE build and getting to grips with the theme, code, server-less functions and the client in general in order to pick up any ongoing support and help plan a roadmap which would factor in its growth going forward.
