"The Jamstack is a new way of building websites and apps that delivers better performance, higher security, lower cost of scaling, and a better developer experience. Files are served directly from a CDN, removing the requirement to manage or run web servers." - jamstack.org
I used Nuxt.js for pre-rendering the website, meaning it will generate the HTML for every route. Any changes editors make to the content will trigger a webhook that will notify Netlify to build a new static version of the website.

Project challenges:
