Quest Intranet
Enterprise intranet built as a custom WordPress theme with modern React UI. Client wanted WordPress but needed modern UI/UX that WordPress themes couldn't provide. Built a custom page builder (same as MondayPages) that lets non-technical users create pages. Future-proofed: if client wants to move off WordPress or build a mobile app, no rebuild needed.
The Problem
Client required WordPress hosting for simplicity, but needed modern React UI/UX that traditional WordPress themes couldn't provide. Also wanted to avoid Elementor and third-party plugins while planning for future portability to mobile or non-WordPress hosting.
The Solution
Built a custom WordPress theme with embedded React/Vite application. Created a drag-and-drop page builder (same architecture as MondayPages) allowing non-technical users to build pages. GraphQL API layer with React Query for efficient data fetching. Zero third-party page builder dependencies.
Key Highlights
- Custom WordPress theme with React/Vite embedded frontend
- Same drag-and-drop page builder as MondayPages
- GraphQL API layer with React Query for efficient data fetching
- No Elementor or third-party page builder plugins
- Future-proof: same architecture can move off WordPress or power a mobile app
- Enterprise SSO integration
