The benefits of a Next.js CMS
Why you should consider Sanity for your project.
Next.js has become the React world's leading framework in large part because its developer experience is so ergonomic.
With Next.js 13 and the addition of React Server Components and the app router, Next.js is the easiest way to develop fully featured, full-stack applications in the world today.
To really feel the impact of the increased speed and productivity of your frontend framework on your business, however, you need a back end with a similarly ergonomic design.
That's why a high-powered React content platform like Sanity is such a force multiplier for your content site. No bottlenecks across your entire stack–just creating, publishing, and iterating.
- Develop and ship faster. When you can write server code alongside your frontend's components, your team can iterate faster. Make a change to your app and update the content to reflect the change in a few short clicks.
- Hire better. When your content platform and your front end framework are written with the same React.js library, all you need are a few good devs to iterate effectively across your entire stack.
- Big, helpful communities. Take advantage of using the most popular framework by relying on large, supportive communities to create and maintain plugins, starters, and plentiful tutorials. The Sanity community is a welcoming place for developers of all backgrounds and experience levels.
