Headless websites and composable web development
Quiet partner. Loud results.
We're not an agency, we’re Hekla: a small, cross-continental studio that brings composable development resource and expertise to your team. We build high-performance sites with Next.js, integrate headless CMS for streamlined content, and deploy to Vercel's edge network for sub-second load times worldwide.
What we do
Built to Fit, Built to Last
Everything we do is intentionally crafted to help you achieve your objectives. From the smallest bug fixes to a full website build, we strive to become the trusted partner for top-tier brands and creative teams seeking future-proof, effective and scalable web development.
Build once, never rebuild again. With composable architecture, your site becomes a living system. Reusable components and flexible integrations lead to smarter content operations, freeing you from vendor lock-in and enabling continuous evolution via agentic web meant to scale alongside you.
Composable
From monolithic to modular – composable architecture lets us create the building blocks for your digital ecosystem. A modern front end built with Next.js, deployed to Vercel's global CDN edge network for speed, scalability, and reliability, provides a flexible, future-ready foundation.
Headless
Decouple design from content, delivering faster, more secure websites which scale as your business grows. With a visual editing experience that your team can populate with reusable components designed in Figma, built with Next.js and powered by the CMS. The future of content management is headless.
AI
We've embraced AI for automation, dev tooling and agentic web development by following the evolution of AI closely and monitoring where it provides the most value to our clients. This allows us to enhance content editing, streamline work flows, power LLM-driven interactivity but most importantly deliver more reliable, less bloated code faster than ever.
Not only is Amy a skilled developer, but she is also reliable, responsive and thorough in providing hosting and support. If ever we have a question or an issue, she is quick with a solution. She makes it very easy on us, taking care of the website so we don't have to worry.
Who we help
Partnerships, not just projects
Whether you’re a small business or a global organization, we’re here to help you achieve your goals.
Agencies with ambition
We collaborate with creative teams to transform their ideas into living design systems.
Using our web development expertise, industry leading technology, and latest in best practices and strategies help your team push creative boundaries and deliver results for growing brands.
Marketing visionaries
You bring the vision, we bring the build.
Launch faster with flexible, composable websites built to support campaigns, localization, and personalization at scale while maintaining performance, brand consistency, and insight-driven growth.
Established websites
You don’t need a whole agency just to keep your site up and running.
When your legacy site starts slowing you down, we can help you evolve beyond the monolith. When you're ready we help established sites migrate from traditional platforms to modern, headless architecture and Next.js performance. Until then we have decades of WordPress experience to help you bridge the gap.
