Solar Foods is a progressive venture based in the city of Lappeenranta with goals to produce protein based food out of thin air to combat the overuse and overharvesting of typical food production methods. As someone who eats far less meat than they used to this was definitely an interesting case.
Solar Foods was designed by SEK(Opens in new window) in Finland and developed by Frantic(Opens in new window) using WordPress. It was a unique project in that it was be hosted through the client’s own services which required going back to the basics of creating a more barebones development environment that allowed for a simplified deployment flow. While there weren’t any fancy bells or whistles in the way of buildpacks, code compiling or deployment processes, it was almost blissful to work in a basic environment again, where developing components felt more streamlined and direct. We also worked in using TailwindCSS(Opens in new window) which made development a breeze.
