Introduction: Building for Growth, Not Just Launch
Most websites are built page by page. When you need a new page, you start from scratch. When you want to update a design element, you change it in dozens of places. When your business grows, your website becomes a bottleneck.
At Displace Agency, we build websites differently. Every project uses a component-based architecture that transforms your website from a collection of pages into a flexible system designed for growth.
This guide explains how Displace Agency's component-based approach works, why it matters for your business, and how it saves you thousands in future development costs.
What Is Component-Based Development?
The Traditional Approach: Page-by-Page Building
Traditional web development treats each page as an independent project. Need a new service page? Build it from scratch. Want to update your team section? Edit multiple pages manually. This approach creates three major problems:
- Every new page requires significant development time
- Design changes must be replicated across multiple pages
- Inconsistencies emerge as the site grows
The Displace Agency Approach: Component Libraries
Component-based development breaks websites into reusable building blocks. Instead of building pages, we build a library of components that clients combine to create new pages.
Think of it like LEGO blocks. Displace Agency creates the blocks. You arrange them to build whatever you need.
The Component Library: Your Website Building Blocks
What Displace Agency Builds for Every Client
Every Displace Agency website includes a comprehensive component library designed specifically for your brand and business needs.
Real-World Impact: How Components Save Money
Case Study: Professional Services Firm
A Displace Agency client needed to add three new service pages six months after launch. Here's how component-based architecture transformed the project:
But the real value extends beyond this single project. This client can now create unlimited service pages independently, saving thousands annually.
Scalability: Growing Without Breaking
The Growth Problem
Most businesses outgrow their websites within 18-24 months. New services require new pages. Team expansion needs updated sections. Marketing campaigns demand landing pages. Traditional websites become bottlenecks.
The Component Solution
Displace Agency's component-based architecture ensures your website scales effortlessly:
- New Pages: Build instantly using existing components
- Design Updates: Change components once, update everywhere
- Consistency: Automatic brand alignment across all pages
- Speed: Launch campaigns without developer delays
Design Consistency: Built-In Brand Alignment
The Consistency Challenge
As websites grow, maintaining visual consistency becomes increasingly difficult. Different pages use different spacing. Colors drift slightly. Typography varies. The brand feels fragmented.
How Components Solve This
Displace Agency components enforce consistency automatically:
Client Independence: Building Pages Without Developers
The Traditional Dependency
Without components, every new page requires developer involvement. Simple requests become expensive projects. Quick updates wait for availability. Marketing agility suffers.
The Component Advantage
Displace Agency clients build pages independently:
- Select Components: Choose from your library of pre-designed blocks
- Arrange Layout: Drag and drop components into your desired structure
- Customize Content: Update text, images, and links visually
- Publish: Launch immediately without developer review
What traditionally costs $1,500-3,000 and takes 1-2 weeks becomes a 30-minute task you complete yourself.

Strategic Planning
Before building components, Displace Agency analyzes your business needs:

Component-based development isn't just a technical approach. It's a strategic investment in your business's digital future. Displace Agency builds every website with components because we believe in empowering clients to grow independently.
When you invest in a Displace Agency website, you're not just buying pages. You're investing in a flexible system designed to scale with your business, save thousands in future development costs, and give you complete control over your digital presence.
