What is the Sitefinity Next.js/React renderer and why Next.js integration matters?
Sitefinity can deliver headless content to multiple decoupled frontends across .NET and Javascript. Whether you opt for ASP.NET Core or Next.js, the technology-agnostic visual page building and WYSIWYG editing offer marketers a smooth experience, complete with native personalization that works with any frontend framework.

The decoupled Sitefinity architecture separates content management from page and template editing. The standard-compliant APIs that push content to the platform’s native presentation layer can also deliver to other frontend consumers, regardless of the technology they’re built on.
Sitefinity is built on three distinct levels with the frontend (presentation), backend (content and administration) and data existing in separate, independent layers – a classic example of decoupling the presentation from the content and code.
Make the most of one of the leading JavaScript frameworks for DX. Harness the power of React to create and design customer-facing experiences, fully optimized for the web. Take advantage of ready-to-use widgets, customizable templates, and a WYSIWYG page composer with full preview. Lower your hosting and maintenance overhead with integrated hosting in Sitefinity SaaS.
While the essence of web content management is delivering experiences through the web channel, Sitefinity’s headless APIs can push structured, presentation-neutral content to multiple frontends. Develop websites and web apps on Next.js to serve content and experiences relevant to your audience's channels and context.
