Thi year we’ve been nominated as a finalist in the Shoestring category. At Mintyy, we believe that you don’t need an enterprise-level budget to achieve enterprise-level performance and design.
The Albany 2026 project was the perfect canvas to prove this. It required a lean, mean approach to development without sacrificing the sophisticated user experience our clients expect. Being a finalist in this category validates our belief that smart infrastructure beats a bloated budget every single time.
While the front end of Albany 2026 is sleek and functional, the real story is what’s happening under the hood. This project served as a major trailblazer for Mintyy’s global infrastructure.
We used this build to substantially evolve our Next.js + Sanity tech stack.
To the Mintyy team and our partners in Albany: thank you for trusting the process. This nomination belongs to the late nights spent refining Makefiles and the obsessive attention to detail that defines our studio.
Whether we take home the trophy or not, Albany 2026 has already won by setting a new benchmark for what Mintyy can deliver.
We acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters where Perth city is situated today, and pay our respect to Elders past and present.
My journey in web began with monoliths such as Wordpress where the back-end and front-end are one single heavy instance. Whilst content management systems like Wordpress have their place, the future I'm building is headless.
For decades, the goal of the internet was simple: rank on page one of Google. You optimised for keywords, built backlinks, and hoped a user would click your link to find what they needed. But have you noticed how often you don't click a link anymore?
We have been slowly evolving Mintyy’s global infrastructure since inception.
