lolz, I guess I should've told you about mine too, which is great cause I can simplify it a bunch, and yours leads perfectly into what I started talking about in mine. Most definitely a WIP: #12 I'll take a read through yours and get you edits by tomorrow morning so we can launch it! |

Do we want to do a Part 1/Part 2 thing with the static react stuff?
Also do we want to be more SEO friendly with the title, like "Why WeWork.com uses a static generator and why you should too" or something including the words "why", "tutorial", "static generator", etc...

I dig it. I'll try to come up with a more better title.

Left suggestions on rewriting a few sentences. Besides those, dope post! |

| marketsByCountry: { | ||
| url: | ||

maybe change the DUBS_API to APP_NAME ?

| The reality is that we are currently maintaining two versions of our site as we move things over, but this allows us to continue doing business as usual, make updates to existing pages and not have to stop our normal workflow as we migrate things over little by little. What's great about all of this is that we are sharing the same data across both sites. | ||

| By doing this, we hope to see an improvement in direct and SEO traffic and hopefully a small uptick in our KPI numbers, as it has been proven that conversion numbers generally improve when your pages load faster. This also allows us to expand globally without having to worry as much about traffic load and performance. One thing to keep in mind with all of this is that it is not necessarily *easier*, but it is a lot *simpler*. There is a [great article on Smashing Magazine](http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/11/modern-static-website-generators-next-big-thing/) written by the co-founder of Netlify (Mathias Biilmann Christensen) about why static site generators are the next big thing. I highly recommend checking it out. |

What do you mean by improvement in direct?

I meant direct traffic .. but maybe i should capitalize Direct or find a better way to say that.

but what do you mean by improvement? Better performance? More traffic? If it's the latter, how are we going to get more traffic?

the 2nd part of the sentence talks about it. "as it has been proven that conversion numbers generally improve when your pages load faster." -- not clear enough?
