Why Next.js is a smart choice
Building Websites in 2010
When I started with front-end development, I used only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since the back-end developers in my team needed to connect it to the CMS at the time, I was building it into PHP files.
I didn’t use any framework like Angular or React. It was just HTML, CSS, and a bit of jQuery. Also, there was no CSS pre-processor that could help me. Well, they existed, but I didn’t know that.

Building Websites in 2020
Nowadays, we have a lot of tools at our disposal. Frameworks like React and Vue.js give us a fantastic toolbox to build websites a lot faster.
Currently, I don’t use PHP anymore because it made me configure my computer with Apache and MySQL (or any other database).
In my opinion, we have it so much better now when it comes to building websites. We can pull data from all kinds of APIs and show it excellently on our website.
