Flagship case study
KAS25
Flagship custom build — the deep case study.
Problem
Klub Angažovaných Seniorů — a Czech non-profit founded by Radana a Jiří Waldovi to support active, informed ageing — had outgrown a Squarespace prototype. It handled Czech content and typography poorly, and it could not hold the structured, accessible, multi-topic library their senior audience needs.
They needed a site their own non-technical team could run day to day — accessible by default, and genuinely theirs after handoff.
Built
A customized content platform built around the brand and the audience: a clear, accessible public site, and an admin-friendly editor the founders manage themselves — no developer on call to publish a page.
Czech content and typography are first-class, and the structured, multi-topic library the prototype could not hold now has a proper home.
Outcome
Built so the founders own and run their own content from a friendly admin — accessible by default and easy to keep current.
Launching shortly, made to be team-maintained and boring in the way working software should be.
Technical detail
Next.js 16 App Router with Payload 3 mounted inside the same app — one deployable, no separate CMS server. Postgres via the Drizzle-based adapter; schema changes ship as committed migrations, never auto-push.
Server Components read through the Payload Local API (no HTTP hop), images are processed with sharp at upload time, and the production image is a standalone Next build to keep the container slim.
