8.00am Crush ★★★★★

Crush Creative is a creative agency that specializes in creating unique and engaging experiences for brands.

There’s a lot going on on this site, lots of animations, super high-quality videos and images, snazzy page transitions, custom cursors, you name it. Yet it scores 100% across the board on PageSpeed and is fully content-managed!

This remarkable acheivement is down to the meticulous care put into squeezing every last drop of performance from the 100% TypeScript code for a fast-loading and jank-free experience.

It’s a great example of a site that is not only visually stunning but also performs exceptionally well.

8.00am Atlas Ocean Voyages Guest Preferences

Atlas Ocean Voyages is a luxury cruise line that offers unique and immersive travel experiences. They are known for their personalized service and attention to detail.

Every guest is able to register and save their personal journey preferences, everything from bed style to minibar contents, and to let Atlas know about medical or special requirements.

Atlas can then search and generate reports on this data, including a manifest export containing all the guest data for a sailing, which they can then use on their shipboard system.
