About Nettt

Two technologies,
mastered in depth

We build all our websites and applications on a deliberately narrow, deep stack: Laravel and Statamic. Not ten technologies halfway, but two completely. You notice it in the quality, the speed and how long your site lasts.

Our choice

Deliberately narrow, deliberately deep

Most of the problems we encounter come from a sprawl of technologies: ten separate parts nobody fully oversees anymore. Years ago we deliberately chose the opposite. We use Laravel for custom work and Statamic for content, and we know both down to the line of code. Everything we deliver, we can explain, fix and extend. Without depending on third-party plugins or a builder who is the only one who understands how it works.

The core

What our sites run on

These technologies form the foundation under almost every project we build.

Why our tech stack matters so much

A well-considered tech stack is not a technical detail, it determines what your website is still worth years later. That is why we care about it:

  • Security: no third-party plugins means far less risk of hacks and leaks. We keep the technology up to date ourselves.
  • Longevity: we write code that lasts for years, so you do not start over every few years.
  • Speed: clean code and the right foundation make pages load in an instant, great for visitors and for Google.
  • Ownership: the code, the website and the data are yours. Want to move to another party someday? You can, without hassle.
  • One team that understands it all: you talk directly to the developer who built it, not an account manager in between.
  • Easy to keep developing: because we master the whole stack ourselves, we solve problems quickly and add new features effortlessly.

At home with older technologies too

We have been building for the web since 2008 and have worked with far more than our current stack over the years: from jQuery and Bootstrap to older Laravel versions and WordPress. That experience comes in handy when we take over existing projects or modernise outdated software. We read our way into someone else's code, map its state honestly and bring a project up to date step by step, without it grinding to a halt in the meantime.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about our tech stack

Because we would rather fully master two technologies than ten halfway. Laravel is mature, secure and has a huge ecosystem; Statamic gives a fast, secure website without third-party plugins. Together they cover almost everything our clients need.

For most projects Livewire and Alpine.js are faster and easier to maintain. If a heavy client-side app really is needed, we bring in a framework where it fits. We choose the technology to suit the question, not the other way around.

Yes, we do that regularly. We first assess the state of the code without obligation and tell you honestly what we find. Then we make a plan for the takeover and any overdue maintenance.

Laravel and Statamic are mature, widely supported platforms with an active community. Should anything ever change, our clean, documented code and version control let us move along calmly and in a controlled way.
