I've been working with a developer who suggested I host my new site on Vercel, as I have a clear vision for it. After using the V0 Builder for a week, the site is all set for launch. However, I'm concerned that I might be missing some important features. I initially wanted a structured backend to enhance my SEO, but I'm unsure if Vercel allows for that with the builder I'm using. I tried optimizing my content for SEO with the tool, but it ended up ruining my original text, so I switched back. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of using Vercel long-term and any advice on improving SEO on the site.

Honestly, I would recommend against Vercel for long-term projects. You could get a cheaper VPS with tools like Coolify or Docker, which can scale well for traffic without breaking the bank. Plus, you’ll have more control over your setup.
Vercel is a solid option for hosting. It’s user-friendly and has great features, but with the V0 Builder, you might face some limitations. It simplifies the launch process, but you lose control over essential SEO elements like meta tags and sitemaps. To truly optimize for SEO, consider rebuilding your site with Next.js on Vercel, as it offers more flexibility for these features.
It’s great to see you diving into web development! Just remember, while Vercel can handle your site now, down the road, you might want a more robust setup. For basic sites with forms, some users prefer Netlify, which integrates nicely for form submissions. However, transitioning away from Vercel might be a hassle, so consider your plans carefully.
Thanks for the advice! I’m curious about using Resend for forms, but I’ve mostly worked with platforms like Wix. Any tips on how to integrate that smoothly?
Exactly! Rebuilding with Next.js allows for server-side rendering, which is friendly for SEO. Just keep an eye on components that start with 'use client' since those won't help with search engine visibility.
