Next/Vercel vs. Website Builders
Possibly a long rehashed question, and I know this might not be the best channel -- I'm trying to figure out my own style as a web dev, and currently building a portfolio with lots of pro bono work, mostly for NGO's in West Africa. With limited operational costs, I always feel conflicted choosing between a website builder and hosting on vercel. The majority the work is simple navigation, which could be accomplished with SSR. Very little javascript. No auth, no login, no DB, etc.
Can someone help me walk through the pros and cons?
Vercel Pros:
- Very cheap (free?) hosting.
- I get to practice Next & React which is the whole point of the portfolio anyway.
Vercel Cons:
- Handing off to a future dev? Long term sustainability? (this is a big sticking point for me)
- Building in a Headless CMS would be extra work.
