What is your tech stack for building websites?

We’re careful in the tech we use because the tools and materials we use to build your websites is either going to help or hurt building scalable and maintainable websites.

You can check out our dedicated page with a list of all the tools we use but here’s a quick rundown of the most important ones related to web design.

• WordPress is our CMS platform.
• Meta Box helps organize the different types of data on the backend by providing a way to create custom post types and custom fields.
• Etch is the development layer of WordPress producing hand-coded quality code in a visual page builder giving us access to the HTML and making it possible to develop scalable and maintainable websites.
• Automatic CSS is a CSS framework that makes building scalable and maintainable websites from a styling aspect possible.
• The SEO Framework makes writing meta titles, descriptions easy and provides a flexible way to manage index, noindex, and canonical URLs.

• Cimo optimizes images uploaded to the website and converts them to new image filetypes.

There are many great website hosting providers. For DIYers who want an easy experience, you can’t go wrong with Kinsta.

I used them for many years before switching to Webnestify because I wanted more control, access, and insight at the the server level.
