Window 20 - Building Your Way: How Strife CMS Keeps Your Options Open

It’s easy to feel hemmed in when every platform or tool seems to dictate how you should build. You’ve probably encountered those systems that insist on a specific stack, only run comfortably on certain hosts, or make you jump through hoops just to switch from static site generation to server-side rendering. Over time, all that rigidity starts to wear on you—and on your ability to adapt as needs evolve.

Window 16 - Embracing the Web’s Pure Potential: Why Strife Outpaces the Race

The modern web can feel like a dizzying spin of trends, frameworks, and “next big things.” Each year, a new tool promises salvation from complexity, and teams scramble to refactor and rebuild, all chasing a performance edge or a shinier developer experience. But what if we stepped back from this frenzy and asked: What if we just used the web for what it’s already designed to do?

Window 14 - CMS Highlights of 2024 and Strife’s Vision for the Future

In 2024, CMS platforms continue to be the backbone of the modern web, powering 51% of all websites. While WordPress remains the leader with a 35,6 % share. This shift reflects a growing trend toward headless CMS, which now accounts for 25% of the market (up from 21% last year). Static sites are also gaining traction, with 20% of websites globally relying on static technologies for faster, more secure digital infrastructure. Strife CMS, with its productivity-focused approach, is poised to further enhance web development efficiency as we move into 2025. For more detailed insights, you can explore the full data and analysis from the Web Almanac of 2024.

Window 12 - Pushing Beyond Reloads: How Strife’s Real-Time Sync Engine Keeps You in the Flow

We’ve all been there: you open a web app, wait for it to load, then come back later—only to wait again for everything to refresh. This load-then-reload cycle doesn’t just slow you down; it breaks your focus, making the tool feel more like a chore than an ally. At Strife, we’ve taken a different approach. Instead of fetching fresh data every time you visit, we embrace an “offline-first” strategy. This shift leads to a more seamless, responsive environment that feels alive and always ready.

Window 8 - Beyond the Surface: How Strife CMS Elevates the Developer Experience

There’s a difference between good tools and tools you quietly trust. Good tools do what you expect. The best ones vanish into your process, making everything feel natural, fluid, and effortless. This kind of quiet support is called "Developer Experience" (DX)—the subtle details that help you stay focused on what matters, rather than wrestling with the software you use.
