Overview

Initially, my website (https://www.nishantwrp.com) was a simple vue application where almost everything was hardcoded. I didn't take advantage of Vue at all.

But recently I revamped my site and some of the major changes I made are

• Migrated To Gridsome - I used Gridsome which is a static site generator for Vue. Doing this had many benefits like
  • SEO Friendly site
  • Easier to integrate with content management systems
  • Faster Site
• Using a CMS - I started using Contentful as a CMS to manage content easily.
• PWA - Because PWAs are cool!

Tech Stack

• Gridsome - I have used gridsome as the main framework.
• Contentful - I have used Contentful as the CMS for this site.
• Vue Js - Well this is obvious by the fact that I'm using Gridsome.
• Vuetify - I have used Vuetify as the UI framework.
• Gitalk - I used gitalk as a commenting system for my posts.

Things I Learnt

This was my first time working with a Static Site Generator. And I totally loved the experience and plan to use Gridsome in my future projects as well.

This was my first time using an external CMS as well. I really liked how a CMS can make things organized.
