Who: Nova Energy, a Kiwi-owned energy supplier
What: Decoupled Sector D8 website rebuilt from Drupal 7
Website: novaenergy.co.nz
In April 2020, Nova Energy's Sector 8 website was launched. The previous website had a number of API integrations, so the new site was built using 'headless' Sector - where Sector 8 functioned as an API-driven content hub, with a dynamic frontend built in React using GatsbyJS.
Features
- Easy content management and editing via the Sector 8 backend
- Gatsby and React frontend
- API integrations, including:
- 'What can I get at my place?' matching an address to broadband services
- Job vacancies and alerts using Jobadder API
- Application form integrated with Nova's CRM
