Nuxt is a framework for building Vue.js applications, offering an opinionated structure and a range of features designed to simplify and enhance web development. It is particularly well-suited for creating universal (server-side rendered), static, or single-page applications (SPA).
It can be used to build applications such as the following:
SEO-friendly websites - Thanks to SSR and meta tag management.
Static websites - Perfect for blogs, portfolios, or content-driven sites.
Complex applications - With robust state management and modular architecture.
Progressive web apps (PWAs) - Web applications that behave such as native mobile applications.
Using Vue Single-File Components improves developer experience. With Nuxt rendering strategies explained, you can write Vue components in a way that feels natural—simple, intuitive, and powerful. By automating repetitive tasks, Nuxt allows you to focus on building your full-stack Vue application with confidence and ease.

<div id="app">
<AppHeader />
<NuxtPage />
<AppFooter />
</div>
</template>
<style>
#app {
background-color: #020420;
color: #00DC82;
}
</style>
Choose the rendering strategy that suits each route. With hybrid rendering, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the speed and efficiency of a static site combined with the rich interactivity of a dynamic application.
