One stack. Always the same. Chosen deliberately.
Every FWRD site runs on Astro, content via our own CMS, hosting on Cloudflare. Not because it's trendy, but because it's demonstrably the best combination for fast, manageable websites.
What we use and why.
Astro 5 — frontend — By default, Astro ships zero kilobytes of JavaScript to the browser. Pages load in under one second on mobile. WordPress never gets there.
FWRD CMS — our own headless CMS — The FWRD editor is an intuitive editor for non-technical users. Content is fetched via API and available to any frontend — including AI page generation via MCP.
Cloudflare Pages — hosting — Global CDN with edge nodes in NL/EU. Free SSL, automatic deploys via Git, one-click rollback. No configuration overhead.
TypeScript — language — Type safety across the entire codebase. Fewer runtime errors, better editor support, easier to hand over if another developer ever takes on the code.
MCP — AI integration — Every FWRD site is MCP-ready. Generating pages with AI is built in — no re-migration, it works right away.
