Our Technology

Entle Core® gives our clients the competitive edge

Entle Core® is our modern web technology stack. It's mature and performant and it powers all the websites we build, from small five-pagers to giant 6000-pagers.

Technical philosophy

The best of the composable web architecture

cloud_done

Serverless frontend

Your website is globally performant and powered by AWS S3, Cloudfront, and Lambda.

stacks

Enterprise headless CMS

Your website is managed with Directus, a robust, user-friendly CMS with advanced capabilities.

rocket_launch

Automagic deployment pipeline

Upon changes, your website is automatically checked, optimised, and deployed.

A traditional website, for example one powered by WordPress, relies on one or more backend servers to dynamically respond to visitors' request. Its frontend — what your visitors see — is tightly coupled to its backend CMS. These servers need to be monitored and maintained, are vulnerable to attack, and can get overwhelmed — and if anything goes wrong, your website goes down. By contrast, an Entle Core® website's frontend is completely decoupled from its backend CMS. The website is pre-rendered whenever you make a content change and is served from impenetrable cloud object storage and a global CDN, with dynamic functionality provided by serverless functions. In the rare case that anything goes wrong with your CMS, your frontend is completely unaffected.
