  • SEO – Eine Begriffsklärung

    SEO – Eine Begriffsklärung

    Seit etwa zwei Jahrzehnten macht ein seltsamer Begriff im Dunstkreis des Themas Web­entwicklung die Runde.

    The JAMStack Approach

    Tearing ties between frontend and backend apart, going headless or at least ‚headlose‘, brazenly moving dynamic logic to the client and decoupling as much as possible into disparate microservices. This probably is the way to go forward in the 2020ies for web content. One degraded WordPress project to many has me seriously looking into this…
