Technical and Data Architecture
How the directory loads without slowing the site.
Structure
| Part | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Company directory | Regional data shards, loaded on demand |
| Category libraries | Sharded by category and region, top entries with full detail |
| Site search | Static index, matched in the browser |
| Article pages | Structured fields for category, region and source |
Design trade-offs
Speed and reachability come first: sharded data, images kept under 500 KB, and a front end that does not depend on a heavy framework so pages remain usable on modest connections.
