Next.js

Application development with Next.js

Next.js is an advanced React framework that has revolutionized modern Web application development. It is known for its efficient server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG). This not only makes Web applications much faster and more responsive, but it is also significantly better for search engine optimization (SEO). This is crucial in an era where user experience and Web site load speed have direct impact on user engagement and conversions. Next.js also offers seamless integration with various back-end technologies and APIs, making it easier to develop robust and scalable Web applications.

With Mediabirds, we made a choice to choose Next.js as the basis for (web) application development. The flexibility and scalability of the framework make it possible to build both simple and complex web applications that perfectly fit the specific needs of our customers. Be it e-commerce platforms, interactive web portals or business applications.

Strapi CMS

The Strapi CMS as a backend

At Mediabirds, we often choose Strapi CMS for our web applications because of the versatility and control it provides. Strapi allows us to quickly and efficiently develop robust back-ends that seamlessly fit the unique requirements of each project. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for content managers to create, manage and share content, while we benefit from its flexible and extensible architecture.

Server-side rendering

The benefits of server-side rendering

Server-side rendering (SSR) within Next.js is a game-changer in the world of modern Web development. SSR means that the content of a Web page is generated on the server and then sent to the browser as fully formatted HTML. This approach offers significant advantages over traditional client-side rendering, especially in terms of performance and search engine optimization (SEO). With SSR, Web pages load faster because the content is already prepared and does not need to be generated in the user’s browser. This results in significantly improved load times, which is crucial for user experience and visitor retention. Additionally, because pages are already fully formatted upon arrival, search engines can crawl and index them more easily, leading to better SEO performance.

Single Page Application (SPA)

The benefits of SPA with Next.js

Single Page Applications (SPAs) represent a modern approach to development, where the entire application runs on a single web page. This contrasts with traditional multi-page websites, where new pages are loaded from the server upon navigation. The major advantage of SPAs is that they provide a super-fast and interactive user experience. Once the application is loaded, all interactions with the user are handled by the browser without the need to reload the page. This results in faster transitions, contributing to a more app-like, fluid user experience. In addition, this reduces the load on the server because only data and not entire pages are reloaded. This can significantly improve application performance, especially for complex or interactive Web applications.
