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?
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 🙌
Very well made site! I love the colorscheme used.

Looks great. I really like the color scheme.
Thanks John! I'm glad you like it!
I love the color palette! It also works really smoothly on mobile. Good job! 👊
Thanks a lot!
Buen trabajo Lazar, gracias por compartir.
¡De nada, Santos! El gusto es mío.
How does it compare to wordpress? If you are constantly adding new content to your website, which do you feel is easier?
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.
Nice. I guess if the community grows, then more templates would be available for NextJS. Might be a Wordpress killer?
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
Really cool
