The ideas we started with
Blazing fast loadings
No wasted resources, optimized images, full-static rendering. This is how our website excels in speed and performance.
Seamless navigation
JavaScript navigation is designed to provide smooth and immediate page transitions. Goodbye to long loading times and useless waiting.
Advanced accessibility
No unexpected behavior of the interface. Accessible links, images and buttons. Optimized colors and contrasts. Our website is navigable by everyone, without discrimination.
Linear UX
The content is presented clearly and without distractions: the user experience is never trivial.
At a glance
A website must capture the attention of its visitors: it must be fresh, appealing, and immediately recognizable.
GDPR and cookieless
We place a great deal of importance on the privacy of our users. We only use community-based open-source tools that do not use cookies and do not collect sensitive data.
Responsive
No matter which device is used: our website must be navigable anytime, ensuring the consistency of content and a cross-device experience.
Easy to update
Not only experienced developers: our website, through the Content Management System (CMS) we use, is easily updatable and maintainable by anyone.
Open source
No surprise: our website code is public domain and constantly updated and documented.
"Not just a regular website, but a full-fledged product.
Designed and built from scratch with the best technologies."
The framework
Nuxt
Nuxt, the open-source web framework based on the JavaScript Vue.js language, has over 40.000 stars on GitHub. It has a steep learning curve, not only for Frontend or Full Stack developers but also for Web Designers and Web Engineers who can benefit from its ecosystem to quickly create applications and websites.
It is widely supported by the community, with thousands of constantly updated extensions and components. It is SEO-friendly out-of-the-box and ensures instant navigation, thanks to its integrated router.
Builds and releases have never been so easy: you can choose to use a full-static serverless approach or, for more complex sites, an architecture with Server Side Rendering (SSR) for fully responsive content.
The Content Management System
Prismic
Headless CMS are the direct evolution of traditional monolithic systems such as - just to name a few - Wordpress and Joomla. They maintain purely backend functionalities, offering a simplified interface for content editing. However, they are completely detached and independent from the frontend, i.e. the HTML templating of the pages.
They are real content repositories, to be queried on the frontend side through APIs: thanks to its easy integration with Nuxt, Prismic is the beating heart of our website and is perfect for responding in real time via SSR or at build-time for fully static sites.
This dynamic infrastructure allows for keeping the backend and frontend layers separated, thus increasing the scalability, maintainability, and security of the resulting products, as well as ensuring superior performance in all contexts.
The web analytics
Plausible
Analyzing the usage statistics of a website is not a violation of privacy, but it is a fundamental tool to understand how users interact with web pages and where it is possible to improve the user experience. Plausible is the tool we have decided to use for this purpose.
But why a niche and little-known product?
Open source: the source code is available to everyone, without surprises.
Fast and lightweight: the script size is 1 kB. Need we say more?
Privacy and GDPR: the few collected data, suitably masked, reside in a European community cloud space, in compliance and respect of the stringent GDPR rules.
Cookieless: no cookies of any kind are collected, which is why it is not necessary to integrate user-unfriendly banners on websites.
