Meet Magento Netherlands 2025

Official event website built with Statamic (Laravel) — fast, clear, and easy to manage

Project Overview

For Meet Magento Netherlands 2025, we developed the official event website. Designed by Danny Uranka from Hyvä, the site delivers a fast, accessible, and consistent experience — both before the event and on the day itself. It is built with Statamic (on top of Laravel), enabling the organizing team to manage content easily and safely.

Challenge

Clearly present a dynamic program with two tracks (Business & Tech) and many speakers on both mobile and desktop, with a CMS setup that allows the organizers to update quickly without a developer.

Solution

We set up Statamic with clear content models (sessions, speakers, partners, and schedule) and built responsive pages with a strong focus on performance and accessibility. The agenda features a handy switcher to compare the Business and Tech tracks side by side, so you can quickly see what is happening now and what is coming up.

Key Features

  • Two‑track schedule switcher: compare Business and Tech at a glance

  • Speakers & session pages: complete overview with bios and talk details

  • Partners & sponsors: tiered partner presentation

  • Organizer‑friendly CMS: safe and fast editing in Statamic

  • Performance & accessibility: fast load times and mobile‑first readability

Automation & reliability

The site is deployed automatically with zero downtime via Deployer. A small yet effective Playwright suite runs end‑to‑end smoke tests on critical user paths (such as the agenda switcher and speaker pages), allowing us to safely deploy even during the event.

  • Zero‑downtime releases (Deployer): atomic symlink switch, cache warmups, and health checks

  • Playwright E2E smoke tests: validates critical paths (agenda, speakers, partners) before/after deploy

  • Automated rollout: new releases go live without interruption — even during the event

Technical stack

  • Laravel 12 + Statamic 5 (Antlers)

  • Tailwind CSS v4 + Alpine.js

  • Deployer for zero‑downtime deployments

  • Playwright for end‑to‑end testing

Result

A modern, fast, and easy‑to‑manage event website that presents speakers, schedule, and partners clearly — exactly what you expect from the largest Magento event in the Netherlands.
