React vs. Next.js: The Independent's Choice
For Contra independents, framework choice = business strategy.
⚛️ React: App Builder
• Dynamic SPAs & dashboards
• Client-side rendering
• Maximum flexibility
▲ Next.js: Performance Powerhouse
• Marketing sites & e-commerce
• Server-side rendering
• Built-in SEO & speed
Ask clients: "What's your goal?"
• Visibility & leads? → Next.js
• Complex web app? → React
Mastering both = better client solutions = higher value work.
Your stack shapes success. Choose strategically.
