Bringing Dynamic WYSIWYG Editing to Static Next.js Sites

This blog post discusses how to enable marketers to visually edit and preview static pages using Next.js, a leading React framework for building server-side rendered and statically generated websites. The solution connects the Magnolia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) to a Next.js app built with Netlify, allowing marketers to place components, control column layouts, and add content in a WYSIWYG fashion. The tech stack includes Next.js, Netlify, and Magnolia DXP, enabling authors to edit content visually while maintaining the benefits of static site generation. The solution also sets up two Netlify sites for generating site previews for content authors and serving the static site to end users.
