We’re the JAMstack Development Agency You Call When You Need Your Project Delivered On Time, On Budget, And Even Your Weirdest Requirements Implemented.

“I need this animation to trigger on frame 57 when the scroll height reaches 35%.”

👆 That’s just one example of the very specific types of requests we get on our client projects and we love that JAMstack gives us the freedom to get this granular with our designs.

Marketing and technical leaders come to us because they’re tired of the limitations of monolithic CMSes and they want complete control over what they can implement (without always depending on developer assistance).

“The only limit to what we can build is your imagination”, is what we like to say around here.

But we get it: switching CMS is a big deal.

If it’s done wrong it can have a catastrophic impact on everything from SEO to your CRM so we’re here to guide you in making the right decision about that process.

Let’s Start With the Essentials: What is JAMstack?

First thing’s first: JAMstack is not a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress. It’s a modern website architecture which you pair with a headless CMS and/or a static site generator.

It’s 3 core components are:

• J - JavaScript delivers rich experiences, beautiful designs, and additional functionality
• A - APIs handle data management and user interactions on your site. For example, when a user clicks a sign-up button and needs to be added to a database
• M - Markup serves the cached website content, so your website doesn’t have to recreate assets whenever a visitor accesses it

JAMstack sites also revolve around two core principles: prerendering and decoupling.

Pre-rendering means that the entire front-end is prebuilt into static pages and assets during the initial website build and then delivered from a CDN (Content Delivery Network). In a nutshell, this means your site’s assets load quicker for the end-user visiting your site.

JAMstack sites also “decouple” the web experience layer (aka what the user is seeing on their screen) from the data, performance, and the more technical nitty-gritty layer.

So that’s the nuts and bolts, but what benefits does JAMstack deliver thanks to this innovative architecture?

Why Choose to Partner with Mawla?

Great question, we’re glad you asked.

Every web development agency is going to sell you on delivering “value” or “quality” JAMstack sites.

OK, great. That’s really the bare minimum.

But…

• Will they make you feel heard and supported when you want to build a certain feature or design request?
• Will they feel like an integrated part of your team who are always on-hand to respond to your questions?
• Will they pull out some shiny Head of Sales during your initial calls who you never see again once the contract is signed? (Along with all those big promises…)
• Will they onboard your marketing team to this new infrastructure to increase adoption and satisfaction?
• Will they stick to deadlines and targets and consistently say they’ll do what they promise?

According to our clients these are the things, beyond our technical skills, that make the real difference when working with Mawla.
