Mix, Match and Build

Most websites run on more than one technology. Here’s how common project needs map to the right web development stack, and how each piece works with the others.

Editors manage content in Strapi, while Nuxt renders each page on the server, so visitors and search engines get fast, readable pages.

Customer portal or booking system with logins and paymentsNuxt + Laravel

Laravel handles accounts, data and business logic behind the scenes, then connects to Nuxt through an API for a fast, responsive frontend.

Content is entered once in Strapi and delivered through its API to both the website and the app, keeping them in sync.

FAQs

Still curious? Unravel the answers, one slice at a time.

  • We work with Nuxt, Laravel and Strapi for custom websites and web applications, alongside WordPress, Drupal, Kentico and Magento for content management and e-commerce. A project can combine more than one technology. The choice follows the features you need, your team’s publishing workflow and the systems you already use.

  • An established CMS is a practical starting point when your main task is publishing pages, articles, products or other repeatable content. A custom application becomes useful when your business needs its own booking rules, approval steps, account features or data connections. You can also combine a CMS with custom features instead of rebuilding everything from scratch.

  • A headless CMS stores content separately from the website that displays it. This can suit a custom website design or a project where a website and an app share the same content. It also introduces a separate frontend to build and maintain. For a straightforward website, a conventional CMS may be simpler; headless is an option, not a requirement.

  • No technology guarantees higher rankings. The build still needs useful content, pages search engines can access, clear links, accurate metadata and good mobile usability. We assess those requirements when choosing and implementing the technology, rather than treating a platform name as an SEO result.

  • Yes, content migration can form part of the project. We first agree which pages, files and other data need to move, then map them to the new structure. If URLs change, the migration plan should include relevant redirects and updated internal links. Content and functionality must be checked before the old setup is retired.
