Case Study: Nolte achieves improved performance and stability for its headless WordPress app with WP Engine

Nolte uses WordPress and WP Engine to bring a teenager’s app vision to life

Nolte, a New York tech agency, partnered with 16-year-old Jonny Boone to build Temple GCSE, a gamified mobile app that helps UK students study for their GCSEs. The core challenge was creating a hybrid/decoupled architecture that used WordPress to manage and administer precise, tutor-reviewed questions while delivering a performant, game-like mobile frontend.

Nolte implemented a headless WordPress backend hosted on WP Engine and built the mobile app in Ionic (AngularJS), creating low-poly 3D “temples” (each with 100 stages) to track progress; they also migrated their sites to WP Engine for improved performance, stability, and support. “The customer experience and the fact that WP Engine has actual engineering and technical support for our team is really important. We feel that WP Engine has really raised the bar in terms of what’s available in the market,” said Nolte.
