Custom AEM components can make or break the efficiency of a project. Over the years, I’ve seen how out-of-the-box solutions often fall short of real business needs. That’s why I focus on tailoring AEM components to create flexibility, scalability, and better content management for my clients.

🔹 Why custom components?

AEM’s core components are great, but every business has unique workflows. Custom components help streamline content creation, integrate seamlessly with external systems, and improve site performance.

🔹 Key principles I follow:

✅ Reusability: I design components that adapt to different pages without extra development.
✅ Performance-first approach: Lightweight, optimized, and scalable — no unnecessary bloat.
✅ Content author experience: Editors should focus on content, not complex configurations.

One example: A client needed an interactive content module that pulled live data from multiple APIs. Instead of overloading the frontend, I built a custom AEM component with server-side caching and dynamic rendering — resulting in a 40% faster load time and a seamless editor experience.

AEM customization isn’t just about coding — it’s about solving real problems with smart architecture and best practices. If you're struggling with rigid components that slow down your workflow, let’s talk! 🚀
