A complex CMS-driven frontend with advanced animations and interactive maps

Square21 designed and delivered a modular, component-based frontend architecture built for long-term scalability and CMS flexibility. Our approach included a robust project setup with strict linting, type safety and staging workflows, along with a global design system implementation aligned with Figma guidelines. The result is a visually striking, high-performing platform that empowers content editors while delighting end users.

The client

MOC

We partnered with an international enterprise client to deliver a high-performance, CMS-driven web platform. The project focused on translating high-fidelity Figma designs into a scalable frontend solution featuring advanced animations, interactive maps and reusable UI components, while maintaining excellent performance across devices and languages.

The challenge

Balancing visual richness with performance

Complex design translation

Translating complex Figma designs into pixel-perfect, production-ready components while maintaining design fidelity across all screen sizes and devices.

Animation–performance balance

Balancing heavy animations with fast load times on content-rich pages, ensuring a smooth user experience without sacrificing page performance.

Dynamic CMS integration

Integrating dynamic CMS content into navigation, layouts and components while maintaining flexibility for non-technical content editors.

Interactive map complexity

Implementing highly detailed interactive maps with advanced animations — the most technically demanding feature of the entire platform.

What we did
01

Project setup and design system

We established a robust foundation with a comprehensive project setup and a global design system implementation:

  • CMS integration with a flexible content architecture.
  • Frontend architecture with strict linting and type safety.
  • Staging workflows for quality assurance.
  • Design tokens and reusable styles aligned with Figma guidelines.
  • Responsive breakpoints with multilingual edge-case handling.
02

Component development

Square21 built a comprehensive library of reusable UI and content components to ensure consistency and development speed:

  • UI elements and CTAs: buttons, icons and badges with hover, focus and active states.
  • Navigation and header components: CMS-driven menus with responsive behaviour and animation-safe headers.
  • Text and content components: modular building blocks optimised for content-heavy pages.
  • Unique custom components: visually distinct, animation-heavy elements built with performance in mind.
03

Interactive maps and page layouts

The interactive maps formed the core visual experience of the platform, requiring specialised development attention:

  • Highly detailed, animated map components with smooth interactions.
  • Performance-optimised rendering for complex geographic visualisations.
  • CMS-driven page layouts built directly from Figma designs.
  • Real-content validation ensuring design integrity across all pages.
