WebStacks is a CMS and static site generator designed specifically for Bootstrap developers. It combines powerful features like drag-and-drop functionality, modular design, and a live preview feature to help you build and manage websites efficiently. WebStacks generates pure HTML for enhanced security and performance.
A static site generator is a tool that creates static HTML pages from templates and content files. Unlike dynamic sites that generate pages on-the-fly with server-side processing, static site generators produce fixed pages that are served directly to users. This approach results in faster load times, improved security, and reduced server load, making it an efficient choice for many websites.
The static site generator feature creates ultra-fast, secure HTML pages that significantly improve load times and reduce security risks associated with dynamic content. This results in a smoother user experience and a more secure site.
WebStacks ensures security by generating static HTML pages, which eliminates common vulnerabilities found in dynamic websites. This approach protects your site from potential threats and attacks, keeping your content and data secure.
The drag-and-drop functionality allows you to build and customize your site by simply dragging and dropping stacks into place. This intuitive interface simplifies the design process, making it easy for users to create professional websites without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Modular design in WebStacks involves using individual, reusable stacks to construct and arrange your site. This approach provides flexibility, allowing you to quickly assemble and adjust page layouts as needed, which speeds up development and simplifies site management.
In WebStacks, reusable stacks allow you to save designed sections like headers, footers, or forms and insert them into multiple pages effortlessly. Once created and saved, you can insert a stack wherever needed. Any changes made to a stack are applied site-wide, ensuring consistency across your site and saving time by avoiding repetitive edits on individual pages.
Prebuilt layouts are professionally designed templates available in WebStacks that you can quickly implement to jumpstart your projects. They help accelerate the development process by providing ready-to-use designs, allowing you to launch your site faster while maintaining high design standards.
The live preview feature in WebStacks provides real-time updates as you code in HTML, allowing you to see changes instantly. This dynamic feedback helps you refine your design more effectively and ensures that your site looks and functions as intended before finalising your edits.
