The Brief
Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) is a leading organization dedicated to educating the public about ethical animal research and its role in advancing safe, effective medical treatments. While FBR had a wealth of valuable content and resources, their existing website was outdated, slow, and not optimized for search engines — limiting visibility and engagement. FBR approached Solvios with a clear goal: refresh their digital presence, improve site performance, and boost organic rankings on Google while delivering a user experience that reflected their credibility and mission.
The Challenge
Before partnering with Solvios, FBR’s website faced several key issues.FBR needed a solution that would not only modernize their site aesthetically but also deliver measurable improvements in performance and SEO.
- Under-optimized performance: Pages were slow to load, hurting SEO and user engagement.
- Outdated design: The visual style and layout no longer matched modern expectations for trusted scientific organizations.
- Content management limitations: The legacy CMS made publishing new content difficult, slowing editorial workflows.
- SEO visibility: FBR’s important educational resources weren’t ranking well due to technical, structural, and performance barriers.
The Solution
Solvios delivered a full redesign and rebuild of FBR’s website with a focus on modern technology, performance, and flexibility:
Modern Frontend with Next.js
We rebuilt the entire frontend using Next.js, a cutting-edge React framework optimized for performance, SEO, and scalability. This improved site speed, enhanced user experience, and positioned FBR for better organic search performance.
Headless Backend with Strapi
To streamline content management and future-proof the platform, we implemented Strapi as a headless CMS. This empowered FBR’s editorial team with:
- A clean, intuitive dashboard
- Faster content updates
- Structured content models for flexible reuse
- API-driven delivery to the Next.js frontend
SEO & Performance Optimization
We applied industry best practices for SEO and performance, including:
- Server-side rendering (SSR) with Next.js
- Meta tags, schema markup, and open graph integration
- Image optimization and responsive media
- Reduced load times and improved Core Web Vitals
- Clean URL structure and optimized site architecture
The Results
By relaunching FBR’s website with a modern stack and design, Solvios helped the organization:
- Achieve faster load times and improved performance across all devices
- Enhance search engine visibility with a better site structure and semantic content
- Streamline editorial workflows through a flexible Strapi admin interface
- Create a modern, credible online presence that aligns with FBR’s mission The redesigned site reflected not only FBR’s scientific authority but also delivered real business value through improved performance and SEO potential.
