A family wanted to preserve their genealogical research in an interactive, accessible format — not just a static PDF family tree, but a living platform with person profiles, life timelines, historical documents, and editorial stories that could be updated over time by family members.
A family wanted to preserve their genealogical research in an interactive, accessible format — not just a static PDF family tree, but a living platform with person profiles, life timelines, historical documents, and editorial stories that could be updated over time by family members.
Built a web-based genealogy platform with an interactive family tree, detailed person profiles with life timelines, a document archive with metadata, editorial stories managed through Sanity CMS, and a responsive admin dashboard for family contributors.
Next.js with hybrid rendering (SSG for public pages, SSR for admin), Sanity CMS for editorial content and document management, D3.js for interactive tree visualization, and role-based access for family administrators.

We set out to build a modern, full-featured CRM that covers deals, contacts, time tracking, and invoicing in one cohesive application — with an API-first architecture.
