Depending on how many CMS pages you'll be pulling in and how frequent the updates would be I would look into JAMstack.

If you have React Developers I think Gatsby is the go-to Static Site Generator (SSG).

For Vue there's VuePress, Gridsome, and Nuxt - which also offers non-static site options.

*Note that Gridsome and Nuxt static sites currently requires using Vue 2.X - but at this point I think Vue 3 would be fairly safe to invest in using

I would guess Svelte also offers options for this, but I'm less familiar with Svelte's ecosystem.

Then there's still always the option of going Vanilla JavaScript.


Personally, I would pick one of these SSGs because their plugins and/or GraphQL integrations make creating the connection to your CMS easier to manage on the developer's side. However all of these frameworks have trade-offs and you'll need to review which will fit best for your goal and team.

You hit the nail on the head Tyler - JAMstack and Gatsby were what immediately came to my mind.

I actually can speak on Svelte - I love it. It's so fast and awesome and helps you really just get coding and working on your projects with a beautiful responsive app platform.

I still love my HTML and CSS to start, but sometimes its really awesome to just create a bunch of really cool stuff, super fast.

Another vote for JAMstack.
