Solana Foundation partnered with Webstacks to rebuild its website with a flexible CMS, unified design system, and optimized developer experience—ensuring it could evolve as fast as its growing ecosystem.
The Solana Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to fostering the growth of the Solana ecosystem, plays a critical role in advancing blockchain adoption. From funding developer programs to supporting decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and gaming applications, the Foundation is committed to making blockchain technology more accessible, efficient, and scalable.
But even a cutting-edge blockchain network needs a strong digital presence. Solana’s website serves as the central hub for developers, validators, and ecosystem partners, yet it struggled with consistency, scalability, and content management. The Foundation needed a website that could evolve as quickly as the blockchain landscape itself.
As Solana’s ecosystem grew, so did its website—but not in a structured way. Over time, multiple teams contributed to its development, leading to a “Frankenstein” effect—an inconsistent mix of design styles, content structures, and outdated CMS solutions.
Some of the biggest challenges Solana faced:
To continue scaling its ecosystem, Solana Foundation needed a streamlined, consistent, and developer-friendly website—one that would align with its mission and support the growing Web3 community. That’s where Webstacks came in.
To future-proof Solana’s website and improve both content management and the developer experience, Webstacks focused on four key areas:
Solana’s previous reliance on Ghost and Sanity made content management cumbersome. Updates required technical assistance, slowing down publishing workflows. Webstacks migrated the website to Builder.io, giving content editors a more flexible solution.
With Builder.io, Solana’s team can now:
Over time, Solana’s website had become visually inconsistent, with different illustration styles, typography, and UI components used across various pages. Webstacks introduced a unified design system to ensure a cohesive user experience.
As a blockchain network built for developers, Solana needed a website that made it easier to explore resources, documentation, and tools. Webstacks focused on improving site navigation and enhancing key developer pages.
As Solana’s influence in the blockchain space grew, so did the need for a more engaging content experience. Webstacks restructured the blog, news, reports, and case studies to improve readability, discovery, and storytelling.
With a scalable CMS, structured design system, and optimized user experience, Solana Foundation’s website is now positioned for long-term success—both for Solana’s internal team and the developers in its ecosystem.
Managing Solana’s website is now designed to grow with the Foundation’s team, including content editors, marketers, and developers. Key benefits include:
With a stronger website infrastructure, developers who visit Solana’s site now have a faster, clearer, and more intuitive experience, making it easier to start building on the blockchain.
Key improvements include:
The new website is not just an operational improvement—it also reinforces Solana’s position as a leader in blockchain technology.
Solana Foundation’s website is now faster, more composable, and easier to manage. Content editors can create and update pages without technical bottlenecks. Developers can find the resources they need without digging through an outdated structure. The design system ensures consistency across every page, reinforcing Solana’s brand identity.
With a future-proof CMS and a streamlined developer experience, Solana is positioned to keep pace with its rapidly growing ecosystem. New pages, features, and improvements can roll out seamlessly—without the weight of legacy systems slowing things down.
