After building production sites for clients across multiple industries, this is the stack I recommend for almost every new project in 2025.
The Core Stack
Recommended modern web development stack
| Layer | Tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Framework | Next.js 14+ (App Router) | Best-in-class performance, SEO, DX |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS | Fast development, consistent design system |
| CMS | Sanity.io | Flexible schema, real-time, great DX |
| Database | Supabase (Postgres) | SQL + real-time + auth + storage in one |
| Hosting | Vercel | Zero-config, edge network |
| Resend | Developer-first, excellent deliverability | |
| Payments | Stripe | Industry standard |
Developer Tooling
- TypeScript throughout — catches errors before production
- ESLint + Prettier — consistent code style
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD with automated testing
- Sentry for error tracking in production
💬
When to Diverge
If your client has 50+ editors needing familiar interface, consider WordPress. If budget is extremely tight, a well-configured WordPress site delivers most of the value at lower cost.
