Subject

Migrating from WordPress to Jamstack.

Questions

  • What is Jamstack and what does it mean to you?
  • You always hear WordPress holds 30% of the internet. Is this still the case and are we starting to see them lose ground? Why do you think that is?
  • What are the benefits of moving off of WordPress and into a Jamstack ecosystem?
  • Is Jamstack lacking any capabilities that WordPress provides?
  • We are currently building out a backend similar to WordPress with the Jamstack in NextJS. What would you say are the key features WordPress provides its users?
  • If you were to use any CMS today to create a Next.js application and host it on Netlify what would it be? And why?
  • Can Netlify host a Next.js application with regeneration capabilities yet?
