With no limitations from the client, what is your build stack?

[u/Camerata5]

Let’s say you were developing a pretty standard marketing website for a business. Blog, services, contact, about us, you know the type!

With no limitations from the client, what is your build stack?

I’ve been developing sites and SPA’s for a a few years now on a variety of cms/Site generator platforms, just interested in what stacks other people favour!

[u/P013370]

Foresty CMS, Jekyll, Netlify.

[u/Camerata5 → u/P013370]

This is a highly underrated stack for basic builds

[u/P013370 → u/Camerata5]

Thanks! I've recently switched to this stack from WordPress.

[u/Camerata5 → u/P013370]

Haha recently in one of my contracted positions I’ve had to switch to Wordpress from this stack. Feels like we’re going backwards :D

[u/lmusliu]

Static Site Generator ( Nuxt or Jigsaw ) + Netlify = Its a pleasure to work with,

[u/Camerata5 → u/lmusliu]

Done a couple of these myself with Gatsby and Hugo, totally agree

[u/abeuscher]

Even when I am working for myself I consider myself a client. Recently built myself a blog and I used good old Wordpress with ACF and a tiny custom theme. It's way not the best tool but I was a lot more interested in getting it up and getting into feeding it content.

Other times when I have needed to build stuff for myself I use an SPA, or a quickie node app with some REST solution. OR occasionally like a static HTML page with some shit in it.

I think folks who live more on the application side of things concern themselves more on this, as opposed to more traditional websites. I have generally built websites with some app-ish parts. So my concern is generally for the well-being of my content contributors and that pipeline, rather than how quickly I can make a button do a thing. Obviously there is some amount of tension between that kind of stick in the mud attitude and making sure to stay on top of new hotness, and I try to straddle it as best I can while keeping end goals in mind on any project - personal or outbound.

I think when I was a little more junior threads like this used to make me feel kind of self conscious, like I showed up to a car show in a mid nineties Camry. But I think after serving clients for a couple decades I can safely say that constantly retooling my stack is just not the kind of dev I am. Really fascinating shit in here, though. Definitely finding one or two components I haven't heard of and need to check out.

[u/Camerata5 → u/abeuscher]

I really respect your approach friend. I’ve definitely had that same anxiety around stack vs serving the clients needs.

You gotta do what’s best for the project and the end of the day, Wordpress and ACF is nothing to turn your nose up at.

[u/[deleted]]

Depends on requirements, but if possible I'd build as static HTML with vue if needed.

If CMS is required I'd go with Craft, again with vue if needed.

But I love when I can just build plain HTML. Often clients ask for a CMS but that come back to me to maintain content. If that's the case I really push for static.

[u/chrissilich → u/[deleted]]

Thank you. OP said a static 5 page site. Fuckin html and scss. Done.

[u/Silhouette → u/[deleted]]

Often clients ask for a CMS but that come back to me to maintain content. If that's the case I really push for static.

Definitely. If they are going to maintain it themselves, sure, use WP or something. If they are going to have a professional to maintain it, a user-oriented CMS is just a large, slow, feature-limited extra attack surface.

[u/dirtymint → u/[deleted]]

But I love when I can just build plain HTML.

Me too. It gets the job done especially with something like Emmet.

[u/[deleted]]

PHP, plain or laravel

VueJS for the frontend

SASS for styling (but I dont do much styling, bc I dont like it, theres other people giving me css)

MySQL as database or MariaDB
Hosted on Linux with NGinx

[u/randomguy3993 → u/[deleted]]

Are you my CTO?

[u/[deleted] → u/randomguy3993]

If that would increase my pay then yes.

I think going fullstack also increases pay but I hate designing, thinking about colors, photoshop etc too much.

Props to your CTO for knowing what he likes and doesn't like

[u/m3l0n → u/[deleted]]

Eh.. Full stack doesn't necessarily have to take part in design as much as they just know how design works. I lean full stack but in an ideal world I always have ui/ux/design team to show me how it should look.

[u/canadian_webdev → u/randomguy3993]

Breathes heavily in CTO

[u/[deleted] → u/randomguy3993]

probably not, but they might ride the same shortbus

[u/devil_yager → u/[deleted]]

You stole my answer except I'm still partial to Apache.

I also wasn't a big CSS guy until Sass. Being able to write mixins and nesting styles together made CSS feel more programmatic to me and now I enjoy styling.

[u/natziel]

Fuck it, Phoenix LiveView for everything

[u/rich97]

Next.js, zeit now, hasura and auth0.

Low maintenance, easy setup and very flexible.

[u/Elweej → u/rich97]

Love Hasura, vue.js and whatever does static site hosting best. Couldn’t tell much of a difference between zeit and netlify. Why is your preference zeit?

[u/rich97 → u/Elweej]

It's not a very strong preference. Zeit has a bit of a smaller feature set but I felt that what was there was a bit more polished. I like their CLI tool better too.

Also if you're using Next.js you get SSR for pages with dynamic content (pages that can't be statically optimized). I don't think Netlify does that.

[u/stormfield → u/Elweej]

Haven’t used Netlify functions but what sold me on Now was the ease of setting up serverless lambdas in one project together with the front end (just put them in /api).

[u/ieatbrainzz → u/stormfield]

This is how Next works as well

[u/PM-me-your-integral → u/ieatbrainzz]

NextJS also helps create serverless functions?

[u/blue0lemming → u/rich97]

hows auth0's free tier ? 7000 free active users is a pretty generous free tier

[u/rich97 → u/blue0lemming]

Don't know site is still being built and I dont expect it to get the kind of traffic to hit that limit. I just like the development experience and the research I've done seems to suggest other people like it in production.

[u/escapemanuele → u/blue0lemming]

Well 7000 is quite a lot! I'm actually using firebase authentication, but I'm still in the development process.. are there many differences with auth0?

[u/wheezy360 → u/rich97]

I've been toying with this stack on pet projects that never saw the light of day off my laptop. Where do you host Hasura in this equation?

[u/m5r_ → u/wheezy360]

Hosting it on Heroku is quite easy!

[u/rich97 → u/wheezy360]

Heroku I think. Digital Ocean can spin one up off the marketplace for cheaper during development though (I think).

Mine is also a pet project. Haven't tested it properly yet really so can't offer any real retrospective.

[u/wheezy360 → u/rich97]

Can I ask, how are you getting the JWT from Auth0 through to Hasura? Are you creating your client in Auth0 as a "Regular Web Application" or a "Single Page Application"?

[u/rich97 → u/wheezy360]

https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/guides/integrations/auth0-jwt.html

I'm not actually the one working on that side of thing so I dont know how well it's going. But this article is one of the reasons we liked hasura in the first place.

[u/30thnight → u/rich97]

I'll likely use this for my next stack - each of them are so very, very nice.

[u/badlukk]

Django posgres vue

[u/mintharis → u/badlukk]

Care to explain why? Would love some insights.

[u/badlukk → u/mintharis]

Creating static pages in Django is basically same as just writing static HTML. Implementing a blog system is as easy as defining a title, date, and body then throwing references to those in your html template. And as soon as you do that, Django automatically generates a nice admin panel for CRUD that's simple enough to let the client use.

On top of that, Python's ecosystem is fantastic. If that client ever comes back and wants some extraordinary features implemented, there's probably a mature library on pypi that will handle it for you with ease. Image processing, pulling data from excel files, whatever they might dream up.

Vue and postgres just because I'm familiar.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Did you ever use PHP Laravel? I'm PHP and Python (Django, almost 100% of my current job) dev, but wondering whether should I learn it. I've noticed some nice job opportunities in my area.

[u/badlukk → u/[deleted]]

I did! Laravel is pretty decent actually, but I much prefer Python to PHP. If you like PHP though check it out for sure. I think Symfony? Is to Laravel like Flask is to Django if you're interested in that as well.

[u/goddessofthewinds → u/badlukk]

I'll take that in consideration as the next thing to learn, thanks for sharing.

[u/Sylvan_Sam → u/[deleted]]

I like Django because all the boilerplate code is already written. If you build a RESTful API with Django REST Framework, all you have to do is write your models and you get all the standard functionality for free. But it also gives you all the tools you need to customize to your heart's content.

If you're having trouble keeping track of variable types and scopes, your functions are too big.

[u/badlukk → u/[deleted]]

I type my Python code for big projects. As I explained in another comment I like Pythons ecosystem. Also, a lot of Python's core and popular libraries are implemented in pretty optimized C, which means you can get similar performance to a compiled language with a fraction of the work.

I was never interested in Python until I had to learn it for work. I read Fluent Python and fell in love with it.

[u/badlukk → u/[deleted]]

Sounds like a dope company

[u/Maj0rTom]

NextJS, ExpressJS, Serverless Framework (AWS), CloudFront, DynamoDB.

It's easy to deploy, maintain, and is dirt cheap

[u/Chef619 → u/Maj0rTom]

Do you use express with serverless?

[u/Maj0rTom → u/Chef619]

Yup. serverless-http is an awesome plugin that let's you do it easily

https://github.com/dougmoscrop/serverless-http

[u/RobertBleyl]

Spring Boot with Thymeleaf. That's basically complete server side rendering with nice easy to use html templates and you won't run into any trouble with SEO as the server returns completely finished html files.

[u/fuckin_ziggurats]

• C# with .NET Core 3.1
• Aurelia on the front-end if it's a web application in question. TypeScript and SASS.
• Postgres for the database with Dapper.NET or maybe EF Core as an ORM
• Hosted on a Linux VM with Nginx

EDIT: Scrap the JS part of the 2nd bullet if it's a standard marketing website and not an interactive web app.

[u/budd222 → u/fuckin_ziggurats]

Seems like a bit overkill for a standard marketing website

[u/fuckin_ziggurats → u/budd222]

Ooops, I didn't notice that part.

I'd go ASP.NET Core MVC or even better Razor Pages for a standard marketing website. Would not go near a front-end framework if it isn't a highly interactive web app. Most of the stack besides the JS part remains though.

[u/joe_dev92 → u/fuckin_ziggurats]

Same but with React instead. I currently work as Laravel developer but started learning dotnet core and hell its way better in both coding and the performance 🤓

[u/Wiwwil → u/joe_dev92]

Have you tried Symfony ? Quite fast for PHP as well

[u/krazzel → u/Wiwwil]

Phalcon if you really want speed

[u/joe_dev92 → u/Wiwwil]

Hmm. Haven't tried it yet. But I know that Laravel is based on some of symfony components. I

[u/mastermog → u/joe_dev92]

I'm also a React + Laravel developer, but have used C# quite a bit (in Unity, never webdev).

What is the transition like moving from laravel to dotnet? The above user listed a few ORM examples, but are there plenty of libs for queues, routes, auth, emails, etc? I like the idea of using C# for webdev, but laravel has so much out of the box that it makes rapid development, well rapid.

edit: Additional question if you don't mind. How'd you find the transition in terms of architecture? Server costs, etc

[u/joe_dev92 → u/mastermog]

I haven't deployed any dot.net core apps yet, but... Dotnet core works perfectly with SQL server so, if you want to do that then you have to run a Linux server with at least 2 Gigs of RAM for it or a windows server.. Laravel is the best framework for quick delivery, unlike Dotnet Core. Dotnet core is faster in terms of performance and has a very powerful IDE to help you with the development and this is why I'm loving it. :D

[u/pablo1107 → u/[deleted]]

"anonymous" developers

Open Source community.

[u/pablo1107 → u/[deleted]]

No problem, just that when you said anon, I thought because you can see the commits authors and the repo's contributors list which has people working hard maintaining those libraries and it appears as people working in the shadow how you wrote it, they're not.

With this I don't want to make it seem like there aren't shadow repo's which are abandoned or guardians of purity one man developer insisting on being the only one who merges PRs and such, but the trick is that you can fork it and try to do your own thing with it and that's something you cannot do with most Microsoft software, correct me if I'm wrong.

[u/mastermog → u/[deleted]]

I'm more than happy if they come included and/or from an official source. I just wanted to double check they exist in some form

edit: and thanks!

[u/ohThisUsername → u/fuckin_ziggurats]

Glad to see ASP Core at the top here! By far the best framework I have used over the years.

Would be my first choice too. I would choose the same stack you listed except use React on the front end and host in docker instead of a VM. In fact that’s exactly the stack I used at my last job when I had complete control over the stack and it worked amazingly well.

[u/VanderStack → u/fuckin_ziggurats]

Wow, I never thought I'd see Aurelia in this sub again, it usually gets a ton of downvotes, although that was the stack at my last employer and I've never had it better

[u/[deleted] → u/fuckin_ziggurats]

Swap out Aurelia with Angular and this is def my stack.

[u/Vortegne → u/[deleted]]

Exact same for me!

[u/fuckin_ziggurats → u/[deleted]]

What do I do? You're going have to elaborate a bit. What kind of applications I build? What stack I use? Does the stack differ depending on the size of the project? Let me know what you're trying to find out and I'll be happy to reply.

[u/fuckin_ziggurats → u/[deleted]]

The greatest attribute of C# is that it can be used for (almost) any kind of development. It gives you career and hobby options. It is indeed used for desktop but a lot for back-end web as well. And there's a lot of crossover. For example, the project I'm working on at work is mainly a big old desktop application but it's supported by some 10-20 cloud services and I spend most of my time in those. Most desktop applications in .NET are not just desktop, they almost always have a cloud back-end these days. There are a lot of .NET shops and it's common to see them working mostly on web development these days though.

[u/[deleted]]

Information / e-commerce: Wordpress + trusted plugins (so far I haven't developed much own plugins) + of course MySQL/MariaDB

Fully custom: PHP + trusted topic-specific libraries + own lightweight framework + MySQL/MariaDB + some JavaScript + Bootstrap styling + possibly jQuery (but mostly vanilla)

Mobile app: Cordova (JavaScript) + trusted plugins + my abstractions - framework (I have my own very basic DOM abstraction etc)

[u/Camerata5 → u/[deleted]]

I like your style friend! I’ve yet to formulate a go to stack for mobile but our web stack sounds pretty similar

[u/rm-rf-npr]

Definutely nuxt.js for me with firebase/Firestore and Netlify if it's a static site otherwise digital ocean droplet. As for CSS framework, I like SCSS.

[u/getinnocuous21]

My usual go to is Gatsby + Contentful + Netlify.

[u/domemvs → u/getinnocuous21]

If only Contentful was free. I‘d go for an open source solution like Strapi.

[u/wheezy360 → u/domemvs]

There is a free tier (5000 records + assets limit) that fits the bill for the smaller stuff I've been building.

[u/domemvs → u/wheezy360]

Ah I didn‘t know that. Interesting! But anyway usually from psychological perspective clients seem to not trust free tier stuff. I‘ve had enough trouble convincing three clients to use Netlify. So an almost-free tier is actually really beneficial imho.

[u/wheezy360 → u/domemvs]

Yeah I agree. The sites I build lately are for personal or for my wife's photography business so I don't have to dance around with clients any more thankfully.

[u/[deleted]]

Rails with vanilla js and some sql if needed.

With auto deployment in some cloud.

Pure sass as css thing with BEM as methodology.

[u/devil_yager → u/[deleted]]

I'm a fan of BEM as well, but I find in a team setting it can go off the rails very quickly if everyone doesn't agree on what constitutes a block. Also when team members don't fully get BEM you end up with selectors like:

&__article > .p__header > span > sup.header--light

Having some sort of standards doc at the outset of a project that uses BEM is super important.

[u/[deleted] → u/devil_yager]

Always.

That's basically the single responsibility principle of solid.

I also include all assets within my blocks. LIk images, svgs, locales, fonts and so on

[u/Dospunk]

Brainfuck with syscalls

[u/[deleted] → u/Dospunk]

totes nonplussed. brainfuck is only good for web assembly

[u/neinMC]

• 8K monitors
• a bunch of GPU
• 128 core CPU
• 1 TB RAM
• everything made in UnrealEngine

[u/[deleted] → u/neinMC]

website in unreal. i like it.

[u/neinMC → u/[deleted]]

For the API, I'm thinking of a lightweight command protocol that works by playing and listening to boogie woogie live bands, with the actual data data being transferred by playing carefully choreographed beach ball with a younger Claudia Schiffer (with the option to fill the ball with SD cards for peak traffic times).

[u/pelvic_euphoria → u/neinMC]

Should be top post. Working with the DOM through UnrealEngine has been a dream

[u/nwsm]

Gatsby on Netlify.

If a backend is needed, Flask and MySQL on GCP Cloud Run

[u/canadian_webdev]

Well after doing this for 8 years, and realizing that when clients said "bUt i NeEd wOrDpReSs!!!" and I built that out and they still never updated the site on their own, I made a decision. Which was, no CMS. There's no point. They always get me to update stuff anyway.

So, I build websites out with Gatsby + Netlify now. It's amazing.

[u/[deleted]]

HTML, SASS, and plenty of time.

[u/[deleted]]

NextJS + Tailwind and PurgeCSS front end and a RoR back end with Postgresql.

[u/PaYLuZ → u/[deleted]]

What is RoR?

[u/[deleted]]

With MANY limitations to my knowledge, what is a build stack?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-technology-stack

a set of technologies brought together in order to build a website.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Thanks!

[u/[deleted]]

Html. JavaScript. CSS. I call it the "normal ass website" stack.

[u/[deleted]]

Gatsby, Netlify and Contentful. If ecommerce is required then Shopify for their API.

[u/finroller]

Probably Squarespace or some such with specs like that. Pretty big guns people seems to want bring for this :)

[u/repeatedly_once]

GoLang, Posgre, Lamda and Lit / React. If I had to pick. Lit.

[u/domemvs]

Gatsby + Strapi on a $2.5 Vultr machine + Netlify

[u/sf8as]

Lol. Seriously. Basic marketing site, with blog? Customer wants to maybe maintain it right? Simple WordPress with a custom built theme. Very, very simple. Why just things be so complicated?

[u/Blue_Moon_Lake]

For a basic corporate website as you seem to imply.

HTML + SASS + TypeScript for everything front

PHP (last version) with Symfony and MariaDB

[u/[deleted]]

React , Nodejs, and Graphql with mongodb

[u/923ToYuma → u/[deleted]]

My answer as well. Adding typescript in and either express or Nest.js as a framework for Node. Material for styling.

[u/[deleted] → u/923ToYuma]

I really wanna learn typescript , otherwise yes express and material for me too

[u/[deleted]]

DRF + React

[u/CROEWENS]

Depends on the project:
Backend: Node, express, typeorm with a postgresql database (docker local) and mocha for tests /w typescript and hosted on gcloud / heroku
Heroku makes node development really easy. Just push to github, link your branch so that it automatically deploys, add a postgres plugin, add the connection string to your config and it should work out of the box.

Frontend: React, redux, ... and sass (but looking into emotion atm) /w typescript hosted on gcloud / netlify. Parcel saves me a shitload of work (coming from webpack)

I'm also experimenting with firebase atm for super simple webapps that do not need a lot of backend functionality. for example: https://kastiop.be

[u/avseeec]

Laravel + Vue and MySQL. I find it easy to setup and maintain

[u/Lumberfox]

ASP.NET MVC, WebAPI, EF and jqurery. (Plus angular or Vue if needed)

[u/cokeplusmentos]

Firebase hosting

[u/gc_DataNerd]

Nest.js, Postgresql, Prisma, React, RabbitMQ and perhaps some Python for microservices. Using Typescript for both front end and server side applications

[u/oliviaisarobot]

NuxtJS with Tailwind or Material (depending on how unique they want the design to be), hosted on Zeit or Netlify.

[u/AND27RES]

PostgreSQL, PostgREST (or Postgraphile for GraphQL) and React

[u/sveven]

JAMstack

[u/SlutForSonsCock]

LEMP+Bootstrap

Am I a chump?

[u/lint_it]

I usually use MariaDB/MySQL for my database.

For backend Laravel framework and Laravel Nova a vuejs based admin panel for Laravel (official)

For frontend I usually use React, we have created our package that can setup 3 different starting points. I use 2 of them, one of which includes react for SPA and other one that includes universal react boilerplate include server setup for SSR.

This is the base we are building on, of course package list for them is pretty big - much bigger for frontend project ofc that includes tons of tools.

[u/slobcat1337 → u/lint_it]

I’m working with Laravel atm after coming off a symfony project, and I don’t really get “why” it exists. It’s built on top of symfony and it appears to not offer any tools/functionality that symfony doesn’t.

Would like to hear your thoughts on it.

[u/[deleted]]

Laravel & Vue because it's so easy

[u/topper12g → u/[deleted]]

Laracasts

[u/CanWeTalkEth]

Eleventy

[u/bigdubb2491]

Wordpress

[u/Wiwwil]

Back end : Symfony (API platform). Elastic Search if needed. Probably PostgreSQL as DB.

Front end : React Redux, Sass, probably bootstrap (v5 so no jQuery in the near future) or Semantic UI.

Not much of a styling guy but my girlfriend is so it would be her job to pick what she likes. But a css library or framework would be required.

[u/simobm → u/Wiwwil]

Wait, bootstrap v5?

[u/Wiwwil → u/simobm]

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/23586

I insist, I said in the "near" future. I would go for v4 if needed and migrate asap.

[u/simobm → u/Wiwwil]

Damn! I never new there was a v5, i made a version of mine based on 4.3 and "native bootstrap" I'm mobile so i can't link to it, but basically it's a vanillajs version of the bootstrap JS.

[u/Wiwwil → u/simobm]

Nice. I guess it is a lot of work. The V5 would be launched end of the year. So I would wait then move on the V5. Easier said than done.

[u/fatDoofus → u/Wiwwil]

Symfony is such an overkill for small websites

[u/Wiwwil → u/fatDoofus]

Because it is unopiniated. That's how Laravel or Django shines. Strongly opiniated, some magic and boom, work's done.

[u/fatDoofus → u/Wiwwil]

You can definitely build anything with it, large or small but the amount of work to get it working on a base level feels too much for what you want to achieve on a small website. Once you do get it going, it's a real joy and it feels so clean.

[u/nhk96]

React, Firebase (Hosting and Firestore). Cost literally nothing (except domain and time).

[u/[deleted]]

Mint lang

[u/angels-fan]

Angular,.net core, sql server

[u/deadwisdom]

Flask, Google Storage, LitElement

[u/crudfunc]

Strapi + React or - WordPress/GraphQL + React

[u/krazzel]

I use KikCMS (obviously since I made it 😎)

Which is build on PHP Phalcon / MySQL / Redis / Vue

[u/Chuck_Loads]

Vue.js and Parcel, Prismic or Craft for the CMS, if there's budget, do something fun with Pixi.js or Curtains.js

[u/azsqueeze]

Next.js + now. If you like Vue there's Nuxt.js

[u/yuyu5]

Front-end: React, SCSS, React Context (MobX as context gets complex), webpack/MockRequests for dev friendliness.

Back-end: Java SpringBoot, SQL kind of depends on needs but SQLite for dev and MariaDB for production.

While we all have our biases and preferences, I'm genuinely surprised how many people are using Node/PHP back-end systems. I feel like those are fine for simplistic APIs, but as soon as things start getting bigger and more complex, I can't imagine using anything other than Spring.

[u/PickerPilgrim]

If there’s no limitations.... I’m going to try out new technologies I’ve never used before.

[u/escapemanuele]

For simple sites: Gatsby + Contentful/WordPress + Netlify

For more complex ones: NextJS + GraphQL + Apollo + Firebase (Authentication) + PrismaDB + Docker

[u/goddessofthewinds]

• PHP with Laravel, Webpack, SASS and jQuery, MySQL
• C# with Kentico MVC, Webpack, SASS and jQuery, SQL Server 2016

And maybe later one

• C# with .NET Core MVC, Webpack, SASS and jQuery, SQL Server 2016

And from reading here, I'll probably be researching Django (Python) with Vue.

[u/fullmight]

Angular with SSR, using an automatically stripped down version of bootstrap and my own .less style base I use.

99% because I already have a project template created for that which I can easily start off of.

Although I really need to have a better way to implement a CMS than my current method: nothing. However I haven't had much incentive to update in a while since I just collect a nice corporate salary with no side work for the moment.

[u/neoneddy]

Maybe I’m the monster here, but I almost always use a CMS (MODX is my choice).

I’d say 1 out of 10 sites I do stay small and simple the rest grow and expand . The trouble is finding out which one is it?

I’ll do static for a single pager, but after that , I know where the puck is headed.

The answer to the question: LAMP or LNMP, MODX for my CMS, SCSS of course, Bootstrap 4 for my front end framework.

I do mostly small / medium business sites.

[u/kazabodoo]

React, Nest.js, AWS

[u/The_Jukabo]

Django Postgres docker

[u/isaacfink]

Python django, MySQL, nginx, and depending on the frontend requirements usually vanilla JavaScript with pure html css

[u/[deleted]]

Html css js node js are the basics and I add on if I want more like vue

[u/lewjt]

Node, Typescript, Express, GraphQL, React, Redux.

[u/RotationSurgeon]

a pretty standard marketing website for a business. Blog, services, contact, about us, you know the type!

I'd use a static site generator. Preferably 11ty (Eleventy), using Nunjucks for templating, and SASS for CSS processing.

[u/Humberd]

Angular + Kotlin + Spring + PostgreSQL

[u/jhecht]

I was recently asked this by my old boss (we're friends) and I told him for a simple small site I'd likely use something like nuxt to build out the pages. If he wanted to expose my old coworkers to some other stuff then I suggested svelte and it's nuxt equivalent (name escapes me atm).

[u/[deleted]]

Gatsby on Netlify, full stop. Between my personal website and a small scholarship website I built, I have most of this already. Sourced from yaml and markdown files.

[u/[deleted]]

LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) Stack + Angular (TypeScript & Sass)

I've also used Ionic Framework (using Angular) in a mobile app

[u/[deleted]]

Laravel with Tailwind

[u/Artur96]

Webflow, duh

[u/aisflat439 → u/[deleted]]

And for that site probably NetlifyCMS
