Leriche Poésie
This one's mine. I'm a poet in Limoges, and I wanted a place to share my poetry widely — not yet another slow, dated blog.
The brief (that I set for myself)
- Fast. A front-end that loads instantly.
- Beautiful, but restrained. A modern design, subtle animations, never gratuitous.
- Manageable. Publish a poem without touching the code.
- Email capture, so readers get notified of new publications.
The old version was a custom WordPress with a slightly outdated design. I wanted the same authoring comfort, but with a modern stack on top.
The solution: headless
I plugged a headless WordPress (custom plugin, custom post types for the poems) in as the back-office, and a Nuxt 4 front-end on top. Content stays manageable on the WordPress side; the experience is served by a fast, animated front-end.
The whole thing rebuilds automatically on every publication (auto-build), between Vercel and Infomaniak.
The result
A pretty slick GSAP-animated hero, a light / dark mode, an illustration per poem, content I manage on my own, and a lightning-fast front-end. A showcase worthy of the texts it holds.
Measured performance
Despite the animated hero and the illustrations, the front-end stays light. Lighthouse (PageSpeed Insights), desktop, June 2026: 95/100 in Performance, LCP 1.2 s, First Contentful Paint 0.6 s, and a CLS of 0 (no layout shift).
