We don't use any third-party CMSs. We ship custom backends with all our projects built from scratch directly on Cloudflare's serverless edge infrastructure.
No, this is very much not GHL. Heaven forbid.
On Standard plan and above, we ship a custom dashboard that lets you do all of the editing that a local business website might need. This includes uploading images to be used in a gallery on your site, writing entire blog pages with our custom blog page builder that we ship fully with the dashboard, editing custom collections of items like products, events, services, and whatnot. Also, on demand, we can convert any part of your website that needs frequent updates into a variable that can be edited from the backend. Say, updating a list of employees, promo banners, seasonal announcements.
The core of the site and your key marketing pages remain rigid. There's no page builder with complete access to every single word and image on every page. But we provide tools to edit the content-heavy parts that actually matter. So that you don't need to contact us or anyone else for trivial changes.
No. But we do actively use AI in our processes. And we have a separate Turbo package that specifically aims at leveraging LLMs to the maximum possible extent to speed things up. But we always retain a good grasp of what's happening in the code, and only vibe bits and pieces that slot into the bigger picture that we ultimately control and are responsible for.
While pure vibe-cosing has become somewhat more feasible for smaller projects in the past 1-2 years, it sill produces very messy, barely readable code in many instances. And you will save yourself a lot of potential headache in the long run if you pick a developer that has experience with manual development, and who uses AI in parts of their process, instead trying to replace everything with it.
The final website is substantially better on the technical level. Faster load times, near-instant page transitions, less effort required to get to the same positions in Google. The three builders above mostly offer the bare minimum for people DIY-ing their forst ever website. With our custom build, you'll have an advantage over any competition that happens to use them.
While WP is a significantly more flexible and professional platform than Wix/SquareSpace/GoDaddy, and it's possible to build a killer sites on it. The reality is such that more often than not, you get something fairly average going that route. So, similarly to entry-level builders we mentioned earlier, you'll have an edge over the competition that's on WP.
Those are professional visual development tools that produce very competitve, fast-by-default sites, similar to what we create manually from scratch. The difference is that you'll actually own your code when getting your website from us. And won't be forever locked into predatory subscription plans.
Page builders are like training wheels on a bike. They're nice for learning, personal, and DIY projects. But they quickly become redundant once you realize that they are a completely artificial layer between you and totally free web technologies out there. Plus, in the long run, subscription costs stack up and do not justify themselves with a typical visual platform. With us, you basically start saving money on day one, once your site is deployed. Because of no monthly subscriptions and zero maintenance costs.
Full-stack Cloudflare with SvelteKit. D1 for database, R2 for storage, Drizzle as ORM. Tailwind 4 for styling. Vanilla Motion (formerly Motion One) as the main animation library. Occassionally Three.js via Threlte. No other bloat dependencies.
That's totally normal. The worlds of professional software development and typical visual builders and CMSs used by most local businesses rarely intersected until recent AI disruption. AI has slightly lowered the barrier to entry into the big leagues and started popularizing technologies like React and Next.js for smaller, non-enterprise projects. What we're basically saying is - let's take it one step further. If everyone is building with JavaScript frameworks, let's use the best that JS has to offer. Which is most definitevely not React.
No. First of all, we use our stack because we truly belive it's the best way to build for the web that has ever been invented by man. And your project will be better for it.
Second, we'd recommend avoiding people who say they do React, but can also whip up some PHP and C# if needed :) Those people either vibe-code absolutely everything and have no idea what they are doing, or they very heavily outsource and outstaff behind the scenes. Neither of which is good for you.
