Insights

Hydra is now Inka

Our page builder has a new name. Why Hydra had to go, what Inka refers to, and why a tool meant to sit above several CMSes belongs with a foundation rather than with us.

Did we just make the fastest Plone site?

We rebuilt pretagov.com and went looking for a faster Plone site — and couldn't find one. Here's how headless, SSG on a CDN, a clean decoupling, and Inka, our design-system-first page builder, got us to 91/94 on PageSpeed Insights, plus an honest question.

The Future of Content: Visual Headless CMS

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the way we manage and deliver content is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional Content Management Systems (CMS) that once ruled the web are now being challenged by a new, more flexible and efficient breed: Headless CMS. However many who use Headless CMS often complain they are harder to use and give less control over the the layout of the content. This evolution marks the advent of the next generation, Visual headless CMS, designed to meet the complex needs of modern digital experiences while retaining all the benefits of a Headless CMS
