Top Tools We Use to Build High-Performance Websites

Tools don't make great websites — but the wrong tools will absolutely cap how great yours can be. Here's the stack we trust on every project.

Design & prototyping

Figma for everything visual, Whimsical for sitemaps and flows, Loom for async client reviews.

Build & framework

Modern React with TypeScript, Vite for instant dev feedback, Tailwind CSS for design system speed, and shadcn/ui for accessible components.

CMS & content

Headless setups for scale (Sanity, Contentful), WordPress when the team needs it, or static MDX for blogs and docs that need maximum speed.

Performance & analytics

PageSpeed Insights, WebPageTest, GA4, Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps, and Sentry for error tracking.

SEO & research

Ahrefs and Semrush for keyword research and backlink audits, Screaming Frog for technical crawls.

Hosting & deploy

Edge hosting (Cloudflare, Vercel) for sub-100ms global latency, automated CI/CD, and preview deploys per branch.

Why the stack matters

Every tool above is chosen for one reason: it lets us ship faster without trading off speed, reliability, or long-term maintainability for our clients.
