Quo Agency: Prismic Partner Spotlight

We're thrilled to welcome Quo to the Prismic Partner Program as a Certified Prismic Agency. Known for their dedication to excellence, demonstrated technical expertise, and shipping successful brand transformations, they're a valuable addition to our community. With a shared commitment to our clients and Quo’s tireless commitment to the best possible user experience, we look forward to forging the future of headless development together. Welcome, Quo!

Meet Quo: fueling ambitious brands worldwide

Quo Agency is a US-based web development agency that caters to companies looking to build their web presence.  Quo specializes in building SaaS sites, eCommerce/marketplace sites, and informational/marketing sites, providing creative services for UI design and CMS integration. They especially excel at working with brands needing complex marketing/informational sites. One of their recent works involved extending a Resource Hub (blog, webinars, glossary, and more) for the tax software ComplYant. 

Quo has built deep expertise with Prismic over the last five years. Their journey with Prismic started after its founder and some friends wanted to start a creative career. They focused on delivering value to marketing teams and, in 2018, took on their first project with Prismic, exploring a headless CMS approach. Their first project had them building a solution to manage content, such as patient instructions, images, and other healthcare materials for medical trials. They have since completed six Prismic projects and continue to expand their capabilities.

Honing their craft, the team at Quo has found they prefer working with Node.js and MongoDB, maximizing scalability for their clients. React and Vue are also among their favorite technologies to work with. Quo believes that their in-depth knowledge of these technologies and pairing them with Prismic allows them to deliver on their vision of “Looking for a new angle,” and constantly push for the highest quality standards in ways that are not common.

Happy clients and insightful case studies

"Working with Carlos & Diego at Quo has been extremely valuable to our small, time-strapped team – they’re very communicative, they meet deadlines, and they’re all-around very pleasant folks to work with! Their knowledge, skills, & recommendations make them feel like an extension of our team," says Aerin Paulo, Marketing Head at ComplYant. More about this project can be found in this ComplYant and Prismic case study.

In another example of Quo's commitment to their clients, last year, there was a week in which they worked with a client around the clock, updating website infrastructure and shipping new creative assets to ensure their client could participate in an incredibly important event. Together with the client, Quo rushed to complete this work against this deadline and ensure the client’s participation. After shipping everything in time for the event, the client invited the Quo team to see them present and join them backstage as a thank-you for their hard work. Experiences like this, seeing a client’s success, ultimately motivate Quo to go above and beyond a simple scope of work and enjoy the process of working with clients.

Want to take a deeper dive into Quo's expertise? You can read about their successes and previous work in blog posts such as "Selecting the Proper CMS for Landing Pages and Content Saves Time and Drives Momentum for Marketing Teams" and their podcast, with episodes like this one: "Trends Shaping the Future of the Web in 2023". 

With Quo now an official partner agency of Prismic, clients can expect a greater range of solutions designed to enhance their digital experiences and drive business growth. If you are a SaaS company, eCommerce/marketplace company, or a brand in need of a complex marketing/informational site, reach out to Quo Agency to learn more about how they can leverage Prismic's platform to optimize your digital solutions.

As a member of the Prismic Partnership Program, we’ve certified Quo’s expertise in building websites with Prismic. This process required Quo to prove their expertise in harnessing the power of Prismic to create stunning, user-centric digital experiences.

Meet María Ylayaly Salas Sanchez, a Systems Engineer developing with Prismic Slice Machine and frameworks like Next.js to build dynamic, interactive, and performant websites!

Developer Spotlight: María Ylayaly Salas Sanchez

Meet María Ylayaly Salas Sanchez, a Systems Engineer from Venezuela with a passion for software development, now residing in Ecuador. Maria's love for technology began when she started working with software that transformed mundane activities into something more functional, making a significant impact on institutions and individuals alike.

Maria is not just an engineer but also a passionate cyclist, a voracious reader, and loves spending time with her family. Through her relentless dedication and commitment, Maria aims to create products that provide practical and innovative digital solutions.

Maria has expertise in developing interactive and dynamic web applications using popular frameworks like React, Next.js, Gatsby, Vue, and Nuxt.js. She's a whiz with languages such as JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, and SCSS, providing clients with the simplicity they need when building websites.

Maria's work extends beyond just development. She also specializes in integrating custom functionalities and microservices into websites and implementing advanced interactions. This allows for a more personalized and unique user experience for her clients.

Building with Prismic: The Jawudi Project

Maria's recent accomplishments include developing the web application for 'Jawudi,' a company specializing in local and international remittance services. The website, built using the Next.js framework, offers users a comprehensive introduction to the company and its services. Additionally, it provides unique functionality allowing users to calculate fees and currency exchange rates.

The Jawudi website leverages the SSR capability of Next.js, ensuring that website pages are rendered on the server before being sent to the client, thus improving performance and SEO. Moreover, Next.js offers an automatic routing feature, simplifying the management of different pages and their URLs, and seamlessly integrates with Prismic Slice Machine, providing local development and testing benefits.

Maria managed to build 13 pages by utilizing 23 reusable slices. This project allowed her to strengthen her knowledge of the frameworks and technologies employed, emphasizing the importance of adhering to a development methodology, in this case, the agile Scrum methodology.

Maria places a high value on staying up to date with the latest updates in the frameworks she uses. She found that this allows her to maintain the quality of her work and continually enhance the development process, speed, and user experience. She has also devoted efforts to creating and maintaining a personal library consisting of various modules. These allow her to streamline the development process by using reusable components and code to cater to each project's requirements.

She strongly recommends using a serverless architecture for its multiple benefits, such as reducing system overhead, mitigating the risk of data loss, and eliminating the need for continuous server updates and maintenance. Maria firmly believes that adopting serverless architecture optimizes application performance, scalability, and efficiency.

From experience, a word of advice when building with Prismic 

For Maria, Slices are the most indispensable components when developing templates in Prismic. She points to their versatility and flexibility in structuring page content modularly, empowering clients with creative freedom and autonomy.

She also highlights the need for developers to make the most of Prismic's flexibility and compatibility with multiple technologies. Its integrations with popular frameworks make Prismic an ideal choice for any project.

Maria's vast experience with Prismic covers technologies like PHP using Laravel, Slim, Codeigniter, Javascript using Node.js, React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt.js, and even Visual Basic in the ASP.Net development environment. This versatility allows Maria to adapt Prismic to different projects and leverage its features across various technologies.

As a software developer, Maria takes pride in creating interactive and high-quality web applications that provide an excellent user experience. She relishes the opportunity to find innovative approaches to solve problems and bring her projects to life. For Maria, the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing her creations being used and appreciated by people.

In the world of technology, where innovation is key, Maria's dedication and love for her work shine through, making her a valued figure in the Prismic Community and Tech industry at large. She embodies the spirit of progress, inspiring others with her work ethic and passion for tech.

Are you intrigued by Maria's work and have a project in mind that could benefit from her expertise? You can connect with her by contacting the Quo Agency, and referencing this post. Maria welcomes any opportunity to collaborate on innovative projects that push the boundaries of what's possible in digital solutions.

In this Developer Spotlight, we’ve highlighted Maria Salas, as her agency, Quo, recently joined the Prismic Partnership Program. Recognized for their expertise, Maria and her team now have access to the advanced resources and continuous support that come with being part of a Certified Prismic Agency.

We’re excited to announce a new round of our Prismic Early Access Program cohort, Slice Machine Upgrade 2022, which focuses on new features for editing and interacting with mock data while testing your Slices.

Early Access Program: Slice Machine Upgrade

We’re excited to announce the next Prismic Early Access Program cohort: Slice Machine Upgrade 2022.

We are building a new feature for editing your mock data via Slice Machine’s previewing feature, Slice Simulator. We’re adding an editing widget that shows you the mock data in your Slice and allows you to customize it however you want. This means any changes you make in the editor widget in Slice Simulator will update on the Slice in real-time, allowing you to see updated mock data render as you make changes. Before we roll this new feature out, we’re granting early access to a small group of users through our Early Access Program.

Before launching this feature to all Slice Machine users, we’re looking to grant early access to a small group of developers, who will have the opportunity to help shape the development of this feature in return for providing us with honest feedback.

Read on to find out more about how to join this cohort.

The Prismic Early Access Program gives you the opportunity to test and provide feedback on new Prismic features, tools, and product updates before the general public. You’ll get a direct line of communication to those building these features at Prismic, and collaborate with them to ensure new releases are the best they can be.

With this proposed upgrade, developers will see a vastly improved component development process in Slice Machine, where editing your mock data will directly update the Slice you are working on locally. You’ll be able to battle-test your components and work through variations at a blistering pace. You can push Slices to Prismic with confidence knowing they can handle the content intended for them. Furthermore, as a developer, you’ll be able to get a better sense of the website builder that you ship to marketing teams because you will be able to see all the elements you’ve configured, such as field labels and field configuration, which will help you customize and improve the editing experience.

Those who are granted access will be able to:

Play with and ship Slices using the newest form of Slice Machine before everyone else.

Quickly update all of your components to reflect exactly what a Slice is intended to look like with real content.

Test edge cases, including when content does not look like what the designer intended.

Understand the editing experience you are providing to your content teams.

Test what type of content a Slice will support. For example, see how a Slice will respond if a content editor wants to add multiple paragraphs in a Rich-Text field or if it needs to be kept to 1-2 sentences.

By participating in the Early Access Program, you’ll be given the opportunity to test and provide feedback on this new feature before anyone else.  You’ll also have access to a private Discord channel with other participants and Prismic team members, including Guy Proops, the Editor Product Manager. There, you can ask questions, provide thoughts on the feature, and connect with other Prismic developers.

Your involvement should take just a couple of hours through each of the two primary phases.

When: Approximately: November 21 – December 16, 2022

Requirements to join: We are looking for developers who are experienced with Slice Machine. Ideally, you meet the following criteria:

You’ve built and shipped a Prismic website with Slice Machine.

The program will have two phases that are each two weeks long. Each phase will have a specific focus following this agenda:

At the start of the phase, you’ll receive a step-by-step guide on how to install and access the tool and an overview of what needs to be tested.

Within the first week, you’ll follow the guide. If you come across a bug or have feedback to share, please submit it in the Discord group, and we will create a bug report.

At the end of the phase, you can join a group call to ask questions, discuss what was tested, and meet the other cohort developers.

We’ll aim to make each phase as low-effort as possible while gathering as much feedback as we can. we know you’re busy and don’t want to waste your time. 🙂

Once you share your bug reports and feedback, we’ll be hard at work fixing those issues and addressing your comments. We may ask you to re-test some parts of your app to confirm the fixes worked.

Phase 1 21/11-2/12: We will provide you with a design for a Slice and you’ll rebuild it with the new version of Slice Machine. You’ll be asked to test the mock data editing widget and help us identify any bugs or issues with the product.

Phase 2 5/12-16/12: We will ask you to test the mock data editing widget again, but this time on one of your existing projects.

If you meet the requirements listed above, submit your name and details using the form below.

You’ll receive an email letting you know if you have been selected for the cohort along with details on how to proceed. Keep an eye out for that email! 👀

The Prismic Early Access Program is a new initiative that will lead to better integrations, fewer bugs, and a nicer overall developer experience for you and others.

We plan to have more cohorts in the future as we work on new projects. If the Slice Machine Upgrade cohort isn’t for you, I’m sure we’ll have something in the future that you can take part in.

Keep an eye out for more Prismic Early Access Program announcements here on the Prismic Blog and in our Community Newsletter. Thanks!

Over the last few months, the Prismic team has been working hard on several new initiatives and improvements to the ways we gather as a community and the documentation we provide to guide your next Prismic project.

Release Week: New Ways to Learn and Gather

On the first day of Release Week, we shared all of the developer tool improvements we’ve been working on. But a great developer experience is about much more than tools: it’s also about community and learning.

That’s why we’re excited to share significant new expansions to the ways we share knowledge about Prismic! Over the last few months, the Prismic team has been working hard on several new initiatives and improvements to the ways we gather as a community and the documentation we provide to guide your next Prismic project.

As we deliver these initiatives, we know each new way to learn and participate in our community will support you and your team’s ability to ship and grow websites.

As our community grows larger every day, we want to provide several spaces for us all to gather, share, and learn from each other. Below you’ll find the two great initiatives that will give us new ways to come together.

We’ve reimagined and reorganized the Community Forum

As the Prismic Community has grown, so have its needs. We’ve chatted with tons of users, taken everything we’ve heard, and incorporated it into our new and improved forum!

Inside you’ll find the channels have been reorganized to improve sharing knowledge. We’ll also have reoccurring threads and content to help you learn and connect with other Prismic Devs, and we’ll begin connecting with active community members who participate and help other members through special perks and recognition.

Starting with a simple command, you’ll get a fully-featured Prismic website to test out and explore. As you follow along with this course, you’ll come to understand key concepts that are central to how Prismic works, including:

Slices: These are building blocks for websites — like website components, but for content.

Slice Machine: The local development tool for building with Prismic.

Editor: The cloud Prismic app where website content is written.

By the time you are done with this quick walkthrough, you’ll know exactly what it’s like to build sites and write content with Prismic. You can dive in here!

We’ve Written a Glossary of Prismic Specific terms

Have you ever gotten stuck on a definition? Forgotten exactly what something means or how different concepts relate? We know the feeling, which is why we developed the Prismic Glossary! It’s a resource for when you just want to know what a certain thing means.

With every concept you could possibly come across while reading our documentation, in alphabetical order, you’ll never be at a loss again when learning or teaching core Prismic concepts. With over 60 entries, the Prismic Glossary is your comprehensive go-to reference.

We’re improving our documentation with explainer videos

Last, but not least, we have begun augmenting all our documentation with video explainers! To accommodate even more learning styles, our team has been putting in hours in the studio to transform critical concepts in our documentation into easy-to-follow explainer videos. Each one is dedicated to a single concept, providing additional context and insight into building your next project with Prismic. Want to see some examples? Check out the following in our documentation:

Prismic content previews in your Next.js project

We’ve shared with you some powerful new ways that our community will be coming together and some tremendous improvements to how you can learn and grow as a Prismic developer. We are so excited to see you take advantage of these updates and grow your Prismic skills, taking your professional success to the next level.

As we grow and build, we’ll keep adding new programs and improving our offerings, but none of these efforts matter without you. So, please, ask questions, participate in the forum, and dazzle us by sharing what you’ve built using Prismic!

We can’t wait and look forward to everything we’re going to do together.

In the meantime, be sure to RSVP for our Release Week Meetup on Thursday, where we'll walk you through everything we're sharing this week, with live demos of new tools. After you sign up, we'll send all the incredible Release Week updates straight to your inbox.
