What separates a top-tier website from an ordinary one?
Answer
The parts nobody sees. Using escape.nl, one of Amsterdam's most iconic venues, as the example, the difference is in delivery: static output where possible, serious hosting, images that are actually optimised, and design decisions that survive contact with large audiences. It is a blend of cutting-edge technology with an eye for design and for commerce, and the craft shows up as speed and reliability rather than as decoration.
