How Do I Transition to Modern ASP.NET Core or Next.js on the Front End?

As the web evolves, transitioning from ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC to modern front-end technologies such as ASP.NET Core and Next.js offers significant advantages. Organizations adopting Sitefinity ASP.NET Core and Next.js benefit from:

Improved Performance

ASP.NET Core is designed for speed and efficiency, with features like faster request handling and reduced memory consumption. Next.js enables static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR) for lightning-fast page loads.

Scalability and Flexibility

A decoupled front-end and multi-tiered architecture allows for independent scaling, making it easier to adapt to business growth and evolving customer needs.

Developer Productivity

Modern frameworks offer improved development processes, reusable components and scaffolding through CLI, as well as generally better tooling, making it simpler for developers to build and maintain websites.

Access to a Broader Talent Pool

Modern technologies enable easier acquisition and retention of development talent due to their widespread popularity and adoption. Additionally, operating in a headless mode allows developers to create Sitefinity presentation layers without specialized knowledge of the Sitefinity technology.

SEO

With features like server-side rendering in ASP.NET Core and Next.js, Sitefinity front-ends enhance search engine rankings while maintaining content quality. Unlike traditional client-side rendering, these modern technologies can help achieve optimal performance without compromising search visibility.

Future-Proofing Your Tech Stack

Moving to new technologies reduces technical debt, making it easier to adopt future advancements without significant rework.

Security Enhancements

Modern frameworks come with built-in support for the latest security standards and reduced vulnerability risks.

An Experience Loved by Content Managers

New WYSIWYG form and page builders provide an intuitive, easy-to-use experience that accelerates onboarding. Marketers can quickly save and reuse page segments, working independently and saving time while maintaining consistency across pages and websites.
