The 3 Components of VELO

VELO is less a product and more a branding concept that includes 3 components:

​​

DataBases

DataBases

Backend databases allow the website to be easily maintained while providing the basis for advanced web funtionality.  When combined either with repeaters or CORVID coding, the backend databases allow for complex parsing of nearly any data element served up on any Wix page or fold.  Recently Wix added the ability to integrate with outside databases as well.

Dynamic Pages

Dynamic Pages

Dynamic Pages allow the website to remain "thin" by creating a template that can serve up different data from the Wix databases (collections).  With the use of dynamic pages, redundant designs can be created to display alternative data within any data element.  This function can significantly reduce the number of pages that comprise a website and therefor seed up load times.

JavaScript (Node.js)

JavaScript (Node.js)

The abilty to custom code your Wix website using a form od JavaScript runtime is a game changer for WIx.  With this function, and the continual roll out of APIs, there is little that cannot be created within your Wix platform.  CORVID Coding allows the developer to intefgrate custom functions and features into exisitng Wix Apps, create functions with out the need to add Apps, and intgrate with external applications as well.
