Speed, Security, SEO

People (and search engines) love fast websites

Get a competitive edge with a fast, SEO friendly, performant website.

Business decisions often boil down to choosing the best solution for your use case.

This means carefully understanding your objectives, then matching the technology stack to your needs. For most marketing websites, a Jamstack approach is the best fit.

Jamstack

Jamstack is a modern web development approach that reduces websites to their simplest parts at the server level, meaning users benefit from exceptional speed and security at the browser level.

Headless CMS

A Headless CMS is a content management system that decouples content from design. Practically, this means no database management, no server management, no security updates, no backups, no headaches.

CDN Hosting

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a global network of servers that stores copies of web pages for super-fast loading. Deploying to CDNs can be complex and expensive, but using the best cloud infrastructure makes it easy.

Static Site Generators

Taking design and content and reducing it into its simplest form to unlock the benefits of the Jamstack architecture. High-level frameworks like Nuxt, Next and Astro make this possible.

Reliable Uptime & Lower Costs

Traffic bigger than usual? Simply not an issue. In short, the Jamstack workflow drastically reduces cumbersome development hindrances and excess maintenance.

Dynamic Web Experiences

Interactivity like form integrations, comments, animations, client areas, payment gateways etc are handled by javascript and third-party APIs — The speed of static, with all the functions of a database driven website.
