Anchorage success story

Beacon Expeditions went from sluggish to lightning-fast

Their adventure travel site was dragging under 20/100 on Google’s speed score. JavaScript errors stalled every load, and even ChatGPT timed out when trying to fetch it. Alyeska Dev rebuilt the whole stack—now Lighthouse reads 100s across the board and AI tools can finally access their content.

Core Web Vitals

From failing scores to 100/100 on performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices after a full rebuild.

AI-ready

Heavy blocking scripts meant ChatGPT couldn’t even load their site. We refactored the app shell so every page now streams instantly.

Technician network

Delivered a searchable database to dispatch remote technicians in minutes instead of spreadsheets and guesswork.

“We knew the site was slow, but seeing 100/100 on performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices blew our minds. ChatGPT can actually browse us now, and investors stopped complaining about spinning loaders.”

Jamie Koyuk — Founder, Beacon Expeditions

What changed

  • Edge-rendered Next.js pages replaced the legacy SPA that blocked rendering.
  • Rebuilt assets, deferred non-critical JS, and shipped an accessible component library.
  • Delivered a Postgres-backed database so their remote technician network can be filtered, booked, and synced in seconds.
How we move fast

Three steps from idea to demo

We keep the playbook lean so Anchorage founders can get something real in front of customers, investors, and judges without burning a semester.

Step 01

Talk

Jump on a 30-minute call. We sketch the MVP, scope the weird bits, and nail the deliverables you’ll demo.

Step 02

Hack

We sprint on design, code, and hardware in parallel. Daily async updates, working builds in Notion, zero corporate fluff.

Step 03

Launch-ish

Ship the prototype, rehearse the pitch, and stress-test with your crew. If something breaks, we patch before the judges blink.
