NuxtJS is a framework built on top of Vue that offers additional features and benefits, especially for large-scale and content-driven projects. It provides server-side rendering, which can improve performance and SEO.

In this course, you’ll get briefly introduced to Vue, covering components, views, routing, state management, and others. Then, you’ll get acquainted with NuxtJS and learn about configuration and structure for NuxtJS projects. Further, you’ll learn about different NuxtJS rendering modes and the key factors to consider when choosing a mode for the example survey application project. You’ll work with NuxtJS components, pages, layouts, plugins, and middleware. You’ll then develop a complete server-side rendered Vue.js application using NuxtJS and learn about optimizing server-side rendered applications for SEO and performance.

By the end of the course, you’ll possess the skills to develop, deploy, and optimize a feature-rich, server-side rendered web application utilizing Vue and NuxtJS.

Build a Modern Server-Side Rendered Vue Application with NuxtJS

Pages in Nuxt are Vue components with some special characteristics. They can contain data, methods, and other Vue-specific features, allowing developers to create dynamic user interfaces. Additionally, Nuxt provides SSR capabilities for pages, which means that pages can be prerendered on the server before being sent to the client, improving performance and SEO.

In the [Course Project](https://www.educative.io/courses/build-a-modern-server-side-rendered-vue-application-with-nuxtjs/course-project) lesson, we set up user stories for three different user categories: visitors, administrators, and survey takers in the survey project. Each user story represents a unique perspective and a set of actions required by the corresponding user category. Through these user stories, we gain insight into the features that the survey application should have to cater to each user category's specific needs.

Furthermore, creating pages based on the user stories plays a significant role in optimizing a website for search engines. By providing relevant content and following SEO best practices during the content creation process, the website stands a better chance of ranking higher in search results and attracting organic traffic.

Thanks to the user stories defined earlier, we now have a clear understanding of the essential pages that a functional survey application should include. As a result, we can deduce the necessary pages to implement for the application to ensure that it meets the diverse needs of all users.
