Prerendering

This is a single page application built with Backbone Marionette. In order to allow search engines to index the site, all pages are prerendered using PhantomJS. For the first page load, all visitors are served a static, rendered page. Browsers navigate the site with JavaScript and HTML5 PushState, while search engines continue to request static pages from the server.
