Rebuilt my company's website with Tailwind CSS and Next JS

We decided to refresh our branding and website. Previously it was built using Wordpress, and it lacked speed and a 2020 factor. I decided to redesign it and along with my team built it from scratch.

It's now live at https://codechem.com

The stack:

• Next JS
• Tailwind CSS
• Strapi
• Figma
• Framer Motion

Super-interested in this process! Site looks great and flows nicely. Any docs or guides for Strapi + Next JS that you found useful and could/would share?

[Lazar Nikolov]

I didn't follow any examples, just went with the flow. I could create a blog post about it. I'll let you know if I do. I'm glad you like the site 🙌

How does it compare to wordpress? If you are constantly adding new content to your website, which do you feel is easier?

[Lazar Nikolov]

The website is statically generated, but using Next JS’s incremental static regeneration we can add content as we wish, and the pages affected will be statically regenerated on the next request. Compared to Wordpress, adding content in Strapi is pretty much the same. You have your admin panel with the models you defined and you can add data easily. If you ask me, I’d never use Wordpress if I have to develop a custom website ever again. If time is of the essence and I could use a template, then it makes sense, but I’d never be calm knowing that the website can be thousand times faster if I just use Next JS.

[Midhun A Darvin]

Nice. I guess if the community grows, then more templates would be available for NextJS. Might be a Wordpress killer?

[Lazar Nikolov]

If they decide to partner with a headless cms provider then it could be 😀 Strapi is the Headless CMS, NextJS is the web framework, so together:
Strapi + NextJS = Fastest Wordpress
