1. How JAMstack Impacts Your SEO

Nowadays, if you want to do search engine optimization (SEO) properly you have to think beyond the desired keyword, title, and other tags. 🏷 You also have to take branding, audience behavior, search intent, user experience, analytics, website performance and competition into consideration as well. 👩‍🔬

2. The Rising Complexity of JAMstack Sites and How to Manage Them

When you add anything with user-generated content or dynamic data to a static site, the complexity of the build process can become comparable to launching a monolithic CMS. 🐘 How can we add rich content to static sites without stitching together multiple third-party services? 🤔

3. Get Started With ExpressJS

ExpressJS is probably the most popular framework for creating server-side web applications in Node.js. In this blog series I want to show you how to get started and how to do it The Right Way™. 😎

4. Forget Mobile First, Progressive Web App First is the Future

The days of “build it and they will come” 🛠 are long gone, and now the name of the game in mobile is “pay to play.” 💵 It doesn’t have to be this way. Companies that have historically been web-first have employed a very different strategy to acquire users. 🕸

5. UI Testing Best Practices

I’ve been writing a decent amount of UI tests these past few weeks and thought I’d share a handful of patterns I’ve been adhering to. 🤝 Hopefully this can help guide good decision making when writing tests and make it easy to write more maintainable code.
