Building Fast Sites Faster
Floatstone works with you throughout the development process to craft lightweight, fast-loading websites that meet your needs.
Grow your audience and realize your goals with our responsive designs, which display accurately across your users’ many different devices.
Then expand your website thanks to our flexible and widely compatible technology, even if you choose to migrate or bring on a new developer.
Floatstone's Web Development Process:
- Requirement Discovery: collect and analyze goals, requirements, features, and your target audience; outline your specifications; create wireframe/clickable prototypes for review; detail and approve minimum viable product (MVP).
- Roadmap: document a thorough plan for step-by-step implementation.
- Development: design components and layouts; implement and refine designs following the roadmap from the previous stage.
- Testing & QA: run unit, integration, and regression testing; manual and automated processes across a wide variety of testing devices, platforms, and screens.
- Deployment: properly deploy the prepared website in the required production environment.
- Post-Release Maintenance: continue to test and review production performance; design, develop, and implement improvements.
Developing Fast and Responsive Websites
We build fast websites that perform seamlessly across all of your users’ devices. Create content-rich sites for marketing, publishing, documentation, blogs, portfolios, and e-commerce using the most powerful and flexible development technologies.
Optimizing Page Performance
Static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR) provide better page load performance, which improves user experience, conversion rates, Core Web Vitals, and SEO.
Our multi page app (MPA) approach leverages server-side rendering over client-side rendering to improve page performance, including critical metrics like Time to Interactive (TTI).

Flexible & Expandable Web Development
All-in-one framework comes with everything your website needs. Compatible with React, Svelte, Vue, Tailwind CSS, MDX, and more.
Connect your favourite content management system (CMS) to expand and update your own site as needed.
We can even mix and match different frameworks on the same page, making future migrations easier and preventing project lock-in to a single framework or developer.
Bring Your Own UI Framework (BYOF): React, Preact, Solid, Svelte, Vue, and Lit officially supported in Astro.
Isolated Interaction With Component Islands
Generate websites with zero client-side JavaScript, or use interactive UI components on an otherwise static page of HTML to optimize performance without limiting functionality. Frontend UI components built with React, Preact, Svelte, Vue, SolidJS, AlpineJS, or Lit will automatically render in HTML ahead of time, and then strip out all of the JavaScript.
“JavaScript is one of the slowest assets that you can load per-byte, so every byte counts.”
With Astro Islands, the vast majority of your site remains pure lightweight static HTML and CSS, instead of forcing your entire page to be a single-page JavaScript application (SPA). JavaScript is only loaded for the individual components that need it.
“Think of them as islands in a sea of static, non-interactive HTML.”
An island always renders in isolation, and multiple islands can exist on a page. So, parallel loading and isolated hydration means that priority components become interactive immediately without having to wait for slower components lower down the page to load.
Useful Technical Documentation
Develop and maintain critical documentation to enhance user experience and retain institutional knowledge. Share detailed technical information that is accessible and well organized.
Style Guides and Templates
Standardize formatting for producing and maintaining uniform documentation that enhances and promotes your brand.
Source/Version Control
Track and manage changes to documents over time and across multiple contributors. Coordinate your workflow and reduce errors to improve efficiency throughout many iterations.
Single-Source Content Management Systems
Take content from one source to apply it across different forms of media, translations, and localizations. Target specific markets across multiple channels with consistent content while avoiding redundancy, so you can reach the widest possible audience as efficiently and effectively as possible.
