What this reason means for buyers
Some catalogs want pure static cost curves. Others need crawlable filtered listings owned by the server. HVCE’s dual-engine path means that choice is a deploy decision, not a rewrite. Agencies can standardize delivery while still matching each client’s hosting reality.
How dual delivery shows up in practice
npm run build compiles HTML, twins, sitemaps, and discovery files into a static tree. npm start / dev serves the same compositions live. The HTML carries a runtime hint so progressive scripts know whether to defer to the server or enhance client listing behavior. Visual and semantic parity is the point.
What is automated vs what you still own
Automated: shared composition path for both modes; discovery assets on export. Not automated: your CDN config, TLS, or whether filtered URL policy should be aggressive or conservative for SEO.
How to verify before you buy
Build once, open dist/ entity HTML, then run SSR locally and compare a profile. Titles, summaries, and structured data should agree. Pair with hvce reason instant pages and hvce reason crawl index.

This repository’s dual pipeline is documented in the product README. Sales demos should show both a static artifact and a live listing when stakeholders care about ops flexibility.

Frequently asked questions
Do I maintain two themes?
No. One template footprint feeds both delivery modes.
Which mode is “better” for SEO?
Both emit crawlable HTML. Prefer SSR when server-owned filter URLs matter to your policy; static when CDN simplicity wins.
Can I switch later?
Yes—rebuild or redeploy in the other mode without redesigning the catalog.
Does static still support facets?
Yes—listing cards can be filtered client-side on export while profiles remain full HTML documents.
Who decides the mode on a client project?
Usually the developer or agency ops lead based on hosting and crawl requirements.

Cheap to run and fast to ship catalogs
HVCE is commercially aimed at flat, affordable hosting: static export to ordinary CDN or disk, or one lean SSR process—not a cluster of app servers, caches, and databases for a read-heavy catalog. Time-to-value is measured in publishing structured rows to public URLs under a paid annual license (Single entry $149/year).
-
One domain, many catalogs
HVCE is a single-domain, multi-dataset framework: you can publish separate catalogs—each with its own attributes and map settings—under one brand and one hosting footprint. Agencies and publishers use that to ship HVAC directories beside festival listings or collection catalogs without forcing every niche into one spreadsheet schema.
-
Compare when shoppers need a shortlist
When the job is choosing—not merely browsing—HVCE’s compare experience lets visitors shortlist entities and view attributes side by side. Affiliates and specification publishers use that to turn typed metrics into decisions, keeping commercial CTAs close without turning the site into a heavyweight storefront application.
-
Maps when place is the product
HVCE supports optional maps and place-aware profiles so geo directories can orient visitors spatially, while specification and authority catalogs can disable maps entirely. Local SEO teams and tourism publishers get geography when it serves the niche—without forcing pins onto every matrix.
