Vue.js
At Digital Natives, we have been working with Vue.js for years to great satisfaction. With it, we build strong front-ends for platforms that are easy to maintain, score well in search engines, and contain reusable elements.

What is Vue.Js?
Vue.js is a popular open-source framework for the equally popular programming language JavaScript. It forms a layer on top of the language that ensures a consistent structure of the code, performance optimizations, and good maintainability and reusability.
Why should you choose Vue.js in your technology stack?
Vue takes a lot of work off your hands: most things you don't want to build from scratch over and over again are standard, such as ways to fetch data from APIs or smooth transitions between different screens. Additionally, there is a large community around the framework that not only constantly improves it but also works on many expansion possibilities.

Headless

Vue.js combines excellently with our preference for a headless setup, where there is a strict separation between the CMS - the back-end - and the presentation - the front-end. This means that the choice of a CMS does not dictate which frontend goes with it.

Speed

Because we are not dependent on the capabilities of WordPress, CraftCMS, Drupal, or Laravel, we are also not entirely dependent on the speed of those systems. We minimize the role of the CMS as much as possible and focus as much as possible on a standalone, streamlined front-end. This makes our platforms incredibly fast.

Progressive web apps

With the help of Vue.js, we can easily build platforms as Progressive Web Apps. PWAs feel much more like fluid apps than websites with different pages. With smooth transitions from one page to another and subtle animations, it feels very pleasant and snappy for the end user.

Reusable components and modules

Because we use Vue.js almost exclusively for our front-end, components and modules - combinations of components - are easily reusable. A login module that was previously created can be easily added to a new platform via our toolkit.

Large, active community

Vue has an active community of developers who contribute to the framework, fix bugs, and help each other to make the framework as good as possible. New features are also regularly added, allowing the framework to take more work off your hands.

Fast and search engine friendly

Previously, JavaScript only worked in the web browser, but now it can also be executed by web servers. With the help of Nuxt - an extra layer on top of Vue - we convert JavaScript to HTML on the server side. This way, we create significant gains in terms of speed and search engine optimization. With static generation, entire websites can even be generated when changes are made in the CMS without the end user having to wait for the server to process the code.
Digital Natives is the Vue.js specialist
Our team of front-end and full-stack developers has extensive experience in creating platforms with Vue, and we actively maintain our toolkit with shared modules and components. This way, we can quickly build new platforms or expand existing platforms.
