Mituteed.

A public-facing Estonian platform built on a schema designed to stay legible as the product grows, with the interface drawn against the real data rather than a mockup.

The problem

A public product that has to stay fast while it keeps growing

Public platforms accumulate content and traffic in the same period they accumulate features. Get the model wrong and the third content type is the one that starts the rewrite.

We designed for the version of the product two years out: content modelled generically enough to extend, specific enough to query cheaply, and pages that stay fast on a mid-range phone over mobile data.

What we built

Four decisions that shaped it.

01

One content model, several shapes

A single well-shaped model serves the list, the detail page and the search index, so adding a category does not mean adding a subsystem.

02

Interface drawn on real records

Layouts were built against production-shaped data from the first week — including the long names and the empty states.

03

Mobile-first delivery

The phone layout was designed first and measured on a mid-range device; the desktop view is the same page with more room.

04

Editing that non-developers own

Content, copy and structure are maintained by the client's own team without touching code or waiting on a deploy.

Architecture

How it is put together.

DATA
Relational schema with the growth path designed in; indexes chosen from the real query set.
API
One read path shared by pages and search, cached where the data allows it.
INTERFACE
Mobile-first, accessible markup, no client-side framework where the page does not need one.
INTEGRATIONS
Third-party services isolated so a slow response never blocks a page render.
CONTENT
Client-editable structure and copy, versioned, with no deploy in the loop.
DELIVERY
Measured on a mid-range phone over mobile data before each release.

Outcomes

Live, and maintained by the client

  • The client's team publishes and restructures content without engineering time.
  • New content types have shipped without schema rewrites.
  • Page performance holds on mid-range phones as the catalogue grows.
  • Same three people still available after launch — no maintenance handover.

Traffic and performance figures are the client's to share; available on request.
