3. References of California Government Agencies
No references for California Government Agencies available. Included a case study from a large travel
and tourism client we have worked with previously.
Solara6 has delivered successful digital platforms for numerous clients across various industries, with
significant relevance to tourism and destination marketing. Our implementations have consistently
delivered improved engagement, increased conversions, and enhanced digital visibility:
National Travel Service
A large travel service first came to Solara6 with the challenge to improve customers' experience on the
site, while optimizing pagespeed and performance to meet Google's Core Web Vitals standard which
are critical factors to performance scores and search rankings. After partnering with Solara6, we were
able to increase Lighthouse scores by 146% to a near perfect 99; and achieved the highest level of
CWV that only 13% of ecommerce sites have been able to achieve.
What We Did:
• Product management
• Requirements analysis
• Technical architecture
• React engineering
• Quality assurance and testing
• CWV and performance optimizations
More Details:
• Google CWV and SEO requirements are constantly evolving. The customer recognized this
trend and engaged Solara6 to take on modernizing their approach to performance, along with
implementing an entirely redesigned, React -based front-end experience.
• Upon the launch of Lighthouse V6, the median eCommerce website performance score dropped
to 15, with the 95th percentile dropping to a score of just 46. At that time, the travel service
customer had an overall score of 40 and was driven to become one of the most performant sites
out there. By passing all 3 Core Web Vitals, they achieved a level of performance that only 13%
of ecommerce sites have been able to achieve.
These implementations showcase our ability to build high-performance digital experiences with
complex integrations, content management needs, and marketing capabilities —all directly relevant to
destination marketing requirements. Each project demonstrates our expertise in creating platforms that
drive measurable business results while enhancing the user experience.

9. Technical Approach and Methodology
Proposed Solution Overview
Based on the City of La Quinta's requirements, Solara6 proposes to develop a modern, accessible
municipal website using a composable architecture approach that prioritizes flexibility, performance,
and ease of management. Our solution will transform the City's digital presence while ensuring
straightforward content management for staff.
Technical Architecture
For the City of La Quinta, we recommend implementing a modern headless CMS architecture hosted
on AWS infrastructure. This approach separates the content management backend from the
presentation frontend, providing maximum flexibility, performance, and future scalability. Solara6 will
build the website using responsive design techniques to ensure the same codebase presents well on
both mobile and desktop devices.
Core Technology Stack:
1. Content Management System: Builder.io headless CMS
o Why Builder.io: Builder.io provides a visual editing experience that makes content
management intuitive for non -technical staff while maintaining the performance benefits
of a headless architecture. It offers a component -based approach that ensures
consistency across the site
o Benefits: Intuitive visual editing, component -based architecture, excellent API
capabilities, no database management required
o Drawbacks: Less widespread adoption compared to traditional CMS platforms
o Mitigation: Comprehensive training and documentation will ensure City staff can
effectively utilize the platform
2. Frontend Framework: Next.js (React -based)
o Why Next.js: Next.js provides the optimal balance of performance, developer
productivity, and future maintainability. Its static site generation capabilities create
lightning -fast page loads while retaining the ability to include dynamic content where
needed
o Benefits: Superior performance through static site generation, excellent developer
ecosystem, strong accessibility support
o Drawbacks: Requires JavaScript expertise for maintenance
o Mitigation: Comprehensive documentation and training will ensure City staff can
effectively manage the site
3. Hosting Infrastructure: AWS (Amazon Web Services) and/or Vercel
o Frontend Hosting: Amazon S3 with CloudFront CDN or Vercel
o Serverless Functions: AWS Lambda for integrations and dynamic functionality
o Benefits: Enterprise -grade security, high availability (99.99% uptime), global CDN for
fast delivery, scalability
o Why AWS: AWS provides the security, reliability, and compliance capabilities required
for municipal websites while offering cost-effective scaling options as the City's needs
grow
o Why Vercel: Should the flexibility of AWS not be necessary, Vercel offers a robust set of
features that are simpler to maintain
4. Search Functionality: Algolia
o Benefits: Lightning -fast search results, typo tolerance, analytics on user search patterns
o Why Algolia: Superior search experience compared to built-in alternatives, with features
specifically valuable for municipal websites where citizens often search for specific
services or documents
5. ADA Compliance
o accessiBe.com offers several products to audit and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA -based ADA
compliance
6. Integrations:
o Laserfiche Integration
o Forms Management: Custom form components with serverless processing
o Event Calendar: Custom calendar implementation with Builder.io components
Data Flow Architecture
1. Content Management Flow:
o City staff create and edit content in Builder.io visual editor
o Content is stored in Builder.io's cloud infrastructure
o Upon content publication, automated build process generates static pages
o Updated static files are deployed to S3 and invalidated in CloudFront CDN
o Users receive updated content with minimal delay
2. Laserfiche Integration Flow:
o Depending on the implementation requirements, an integration between Laserfiche and
Builder.io
o It is unclear at this time whether Builder.io would need to push content to Laserfiche, or if
Laserfiche indexes content independently
3. Forms Submission Flow:
o Users complete forms on the frontend
o Form data is validated client -side for immediate feedback
o Data is securely stored and notifications are sent to appropriate staff
Architecture Justification
The proposed architecture delivers several key advantages specifically aligned with the City of La
Quinta's needs:
1. Performance: By implementing a headless architecture with static site generation, we'll deliver
page load times typically under 1 second, significantly improving user experience and search
engine rankings.
2. Flexibility: The decoupled architecture allows the frontend and backend to evolve
independently, ensuring the City can adapt to changing technologies without complete rebuilds.
3. Security: AWS's comprehensive security capabilities combined with our security -first
implementation approach provides robust protection for City and citizen data.
4. Scalability: The architecture easily scales to accommodate growing content, increased traffic,
and additional functionality without performance degradation.
5. Content Management Simplicity: Builder.io's visual editing experience allows non -technical
staff to create and update content with minimal training, maximizing productivity.
6. Accessibility: The Next.js frontend allows us to implement accessibility best practices at the
component level, enabling comprehensive WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
Why Solara6 is the Right Team
Solara6 brings unique qualifications to implement this architecture for La Quinta:
1. We've successfully implemented similar headless architectures for multiple clients, including
those referenced in this proposal.
2. Our team includes certified AWS architects who specialize in secure implementations, ensuring
a secure, compliant infrastructure.
3. Our AI -augmented engineering approach reduces development time and cost while improving
quality, delivering more value within the City's budget.
4. We maintain deep expertise in accessibility compliance, essential for meeting the City's ADA
requirements.
5. Our proven migration methodology ensures a smooth transition from the current proprietary
platform with minimal disruption.
