if you're used to PHP, then the biggest jump you will find to a NextJS or NodeJS webserver will be that the webserver is part of the codebase.

In PHP you need Apache or Nginx or similar to handle web requests, and it will run the PHP executable on a .php file to generate an HTML response.

In NodeJS, there is no need for another webserver, it is one

I deal with mostly the HTML5/CSS/JS frontend when it comes to web development. For PHP its wordpress since I'm used to it.

My goal is to make websites on the frontend, integrate them with an autoresponder service and add a WordPress blog to them for clients on the backend. Down the line Ecommerce as well.

When I installed the new next.js app in windows I get a bit more complicated structure.

FINALLY it's working so far. The navbar and javascript is still imperfect but thank goodness I jumped over that hurdle.

#

#

Now I need to get the navbar working, put 4 other pages into this app and implement API for blog and autoresponder but after 5 months...FINALLY.
