Overview

Dear Jamsfy Community Members,

We are thrilled to announce that 2 weeks back we launched of our brand-new website ??

After months of hard work and dedication, we are excited to share with you a completely revamped online experience. Our team has been diligently working behind the scenes to bring you a website that not only looks stunning but also offers a seamless and lightning-fast browsing experience.

We are proud to say that our new website is built on the powerful Jamstack architecture, leveraging some of the latest technologies in the industry.

Embracing Jamstack: Empowering Your Web Development Journey

Inspired by Jamsfy's new website, are you eager to create your own lightning-fast and scalable web application? Look no further - we have got you covered!

Allow us to guide you step-by-step through the process of developing a website similar to ours:

Step 1: Plan Your Project

Before diving into development, take the time to meticulously plan your website. Identify your target audience, define the website's purpose, and outline the features you wish to include. Sketch wireframes and create a sitemap to visualize your site's structure.

At Jamsfy, we cater primarily to early-stage and growth-stage startups. Therefore, our website design prioritizes the needs of business leaders and CXOs, ensuring an intuitive user experience tailored to these personas.

You can use tools like Miro for wireframing and Figma for UI/UX design to bring your ideas to life.

Step 2: Choose the Right Technologies in JAMstack

As we all know that JAMstack is an architecture, which can be used with variety of technologies combinations, as seasoned Jamstack developers, we have realised that technology choice can make and break the system. Hence we are going to give you a list of technologies which you should use while using Jamstack architecture.

• Static Site Generator: Nextjs (v13)
• Headless CMS: Strapi (v4)
• Hosting of CMS (Strapi Mainly): Digital Ocean
• Hosting of Nextjs: Vercel
• Styling: Styled Components and Styled System
• Documentation: Storybook
• Code Architecture (Front-end): Atomic Design

Next js stands out as the most developer-friendly and performance-oriented framework in our extensive research.

We recommend Strapi because it's an open-source CMS, granting you control over your data, though its setup may require developer assistance. Alternatively, you can explore cloud-first solutions like Storyblok, which offer convenience but come with additional costs compared to Strapi.

Digital Ocean provides a simple one-click deployment template for hosting Strapi, making it user-friendly for technical and non-technical users alike.

And for hosting Next.js, Vercel is the go-to choice, designed to seamlessly support Next.js projects.

You can also automate website performance monitoring with Auditzy to identify and understand the performance issues on your website

Step 4: Test and Debug

Before launching your website, conduct extensive testing on various devices and browsers. Address and rectify any bugs or issues to ensure a smooth user experience. You can employ Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing Tools like Browserstack or Lambda Test for comprehensive testing.

Step 5: Launch Your Website!

Congratulations ?? With your Jamstack website ready for the world, announce its launch to your community, inviting them to explore the fantastic features you've created.
