Project Overview

The August McGregor Marketing website was designed with SEO in mind from the start. The team used relevant keywords throughout the website, including in the titles, headings, and body text. They also created high-quality content that is informative and engaging. This helped the website to rank well in search engine results pages (SERPs), making it more visible to potential customers.

To scale the servers to handle a traffic spike, the team used a cloud-based hosting solution. This allowed them to easily add more resources as needed, without having to worry about downtime or performance issues. They also used a content delivery network (CDN) to serve static content, such as images and CSS files, from servers that are located closer to the user's location. This improved the loading speed of the website and reduced the load on the main server.
