Why I still pick Nuxt for commercial sites

When a site needs SSR, SEO and a calm DX, Nuxt is usually my default — notes from catalogs, brand sites and React work like Cheesl's.

I keep ending up on Nuxt for commercial sites. Not because it's trendy — because SSR, file routing and Vue just get out of the way. Brief says “fast public site that Google can index”? I don't want to invent a stack from scratch.

Catalog and brand work looks the same every time: clear pages, honest meta, predictable data loading. Nuxt gives me that without dragging half of React's ecosystem into a brochure site. Need a React SPA with scroll storytelling, like Cheesl's? Fine, I ship that instead.

I still grab React and Next when the team already lives there. Greenfield marketing site, frontend on me, SEO matters — Nuxt is what gets me to production with less pain.
