OUR STACK

The architecture behind the performance.

While agencies debate WordPress vs Squarespace, we engineer custom platforms on the same technologies used by Vercel, Shopify, and Netflix. Here is what powers every Cognitex build.

01

Frontend

Astro

The framework built for speed. Static-first rendering with zero JavaScript by default. Every page loads in under 1 second.

⚛️

React

Interactive islands only where needed. No unnecessary hydration, no wasted client-side resources.

🔷

TypeScript

Strict type safety across the entire codebase. Fewer bugs, better developer experience, more reliable deployments.

🎨

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first styling with zero unused CSS in production. Pixel-perfect designs without bloated stylesheets.

02

Headless Commerce

🛒

Medusa

Open-source headless commerce platform. Full control over the shopping experience with no vendor lock-in or monthly fees.

🏪

Headless Shopify

When clients need the Shopify ecosystem, we build on Hydrogen for custom storefronts that outperform standard Shopify themes.

💳

Stripe

Enterprise-grade payment processing. Subscriptions, one-time payments, and multi-currency support built in.

03

AI & Automation

🔄

Voiceflow

Conversational AI for online booking and handling inquiries across chat and calls.

🤖

OpenAI / Claude

AI-powered customer communication, content generation, and intelligent booking systems that work 24/7 in Bulgarian and English.

04

Infrastructure

🌐

Netlify / Vercel

Edge deployment with global CDN. Your site loads fast from anywhere in Europe, with 99.99% uptime.

🛡️

Cloudflare Turnstile

Invisible bot protection on every form. No puzzles for real visitors, no spam in your inbox.

Why this matters

Most agencies use monolithic platforms (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace) that bundle everything into slow, rigid systems. Our headless approach separates the presentation layer from the data layer, giving you:

Sub-second page loads (vs 3-5s for WordPress)

90-100 Lighthouse scores as standard

Total design freedom with no theme limitations

Unlimited scalability without performance degradation

Smaller attack surface with no plugin vulnerabilities

Structured for AI answer engines (AEO-ready)

The decisions behind the stack

The technology list says what we use. What matters more is what we decided with it, because that is the difference you feel in a delivered site. Every example below is true of the page you are reading right now.

JavaScript by exception, not by default

Pages are generated statically at build time. React hydrates only where there is real interactivity, and even then it waits: menus and modals load when the browser is idle, sections when they enter the viewport. The result is a site search engines and AI assistants can read without executing any JavaScript.

Third-party scripts wait their turn

Google Tag Manager does not load when the page opens. It waits for the first scroll, click or tap, and loads after a few seconds if none comes. Analytics should not be the first thing that slows a visitor down.

Checks run in the build, not off a manual list

Before anything is published, an automated pass fails the build on a broken internal link, a wrong hreflang, missing alt text, an over-long title, or a page missing from the sitemap. A rule that only holds when someone remembers it is not a rule.

Smooth scrolling switches itself off when it hurts

The smooth-scroll library is disabled on Safari, on touch devices, on slow connections, when reduced motion is requested, and on low-end hardware. An effect that looks good on a fast laptop and stutters on an average phone is a loss, not a feature.
