Summary

I've summarized the text for you: I started using WordPress six years ago and updated my website multiple times, but found it difficult to work with due to its limitations on layout changes, content presentation, and deployment. I was looking for a solution that would allow me to separate my front-end from the content, be light on resources, and work with the latest frameworks and tools in my workflow. After exploring various options, I chose Contentful for content management, Next.js as the framework for managing my React application, TravisCI for continuous integration and deployment, and Now as a hosting provider. These choices increased my productivity by providing features such as a preview API, webhooks, integrated CDN, SaaS, custom models, and developer-friendly SDKs. I was able to focus on coding and shipping efficiently, rather than managing updates and debugging content presentation issues.
