In today’s episode, Joe talks to Miriam Schwab, the co-Founder and CEO of Strattic - an all-in-one static site generation and hosting platform that instantly optimizes WordPress by converting it to a static architecture. Content managers and marketers can continue to manage content in WordPress as usual, while developers get to bask in the glory (and enjoy the peace of mind) of a fully headless website.  

Miriam shares her agency’s vision to provide a link between the WordPress functionality and the speed performance of static sites, what it was like to build a company while raising 7 children, and why they continue to offer a 30-day free trial to new customers.
