Case Study: Barrel achieves faster, standardized website delivery with Pantheon

Agency Barrel Adopts New Tools for Better, Faster Client Work

Barrel is a New York–based interactive design agency that builds websites and web apps for lifestyle and consumer brands, most often on WordPress. They were losing developer time to fragmented hosting setups across multiple providers—manual server configuration, staggered updates, and bespoke stacks slowed onboarding and pulled focus from designing great user experiences.

Barrel standardized on Pantheon, using its Dev/Test/Live workflows, integrated performance and monitoring tools, automated hooks (Terminus and Quicksilver), and managed backups. The result: new sites spun up in minutes instead of weeks, faster, safer deployments, simplified client onboarding, higher productivity and capacity to take on more work without hiring, and quicker recovery and security management.
