Kentico logo

We developed a comprehensive demo web app for Xperience by Kentico, showcasing the product's features and functions while adapting to rapid development changes and providing multilingual content support.

Kentico Software is a smart web management solution with a lot of functionality and we have been using it for many projects for several years. After all, this is how our cooperation started some time ago. We were customers at first, but gradually our paths became more interconnected and today Kentico from Brno is one of our close partners. We help them with product development.

30 000 + Customers in the Czech Republic and worldwide use Kentico software.

The story of Kentico began in 2004, when Petr Palas, an IT guy from Brno, decided to create a web content management software. Today his company operates all over the world. They help companies improve their clients' customer experience in the digital environment, developing tools for content management, digital marketing and e-commerce. They have tens of thousands of customers and have repeatedly won awards from both Forrester and Gartner.

The challenge.

Kentico, a leading provider of content management and digital experience platforms, needed a fresh demo web application to showcase their product, Xperience by Kentico. The project presented several unique challenges:


  • The demo needed to comprehensively demonstrate all of Xperience by Kentico's features and functions.


  • The project started when Xperience by Kentico was in a phase of rapid development, requiring agile work methods and frequent solution rewrites to accommodate breaking changes.


  • The demo required multilingual content support.


  • The client wanted a solution that could be easily kept up-to-date with the current version of their product, necessitating regular updates and function additions.

The solution.

We proposed a multilateral approach to meet Kentico's needs:


  • Agile Development: We implemented an agile development process to quickly adapt to the evolving Xperience by Kentico platform, allowing us to rewrite solutions as needed when breaking changes occurred.


  • Comprehensive Feature Showcase: Our team worked diligently to incorporate virtually every function and feature of Xperience by Kentico into the demo web app, ensuring a complete representation of the product's capabilities.

  • Multilingual Support: We integrated robust multilingual capabilities, allowing content to be translated into several languages and showcasing Xperience by Kentico's localization features.


  • CI/CD Implementation: We set up CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment process, including automated testing, to streamline updates and ensure consistent quality.


  • Ongoing Maintenance and Updates: We established a system for regular updates to keep the demo app aligned with the latest version of Xperience by Kentico, allowing for continuous feature additions and improvements.


  • Content Services: Our team assisted in creating and managing content for the demo app, ensuring high-quality, relevant material across all languages.


  • UX/UI Design: We crafted an intuitive and visually appealing interface that effectively showcases Xperience by Kentico's capabilities while providing an excellent user experience.


  • Quality Assurance: Rigorous QA processes were implemented to ensure the demo app functions flawlessly across various scenarios and use cases.
