Migrating Weweb Code Export to Nuxt.js with SSR for SEO Improvement – Experiences and CI/CD Ideas

Developer corner

Hello Community!

I’m wondering if anyone has successfully migrated a Weweb code export to a Nuxt.js server with SSR enabled—specifically to boost SEO—and then deployed it to Vercel or another hosting provider.

My goal is to enhance the SEO of my current Weweb project by leveraging Nuxt.js’s server-side rendering capabilities, including custom sitemap & robots.txt generation, breadcrumb and structured data markup, and dynamic metadata management. I’m particularly interested in learning about any challenges or configurations you’ve encountered regarding SEO, environment variables, and SSR setup during the migration process.

Any tips, pitfalls, or detailed guides would be greatly appreciated!

If no one has taken this step yet, I’m considering starting a repository for a plug-and-play solution. This project would allow us to export our Weweb projects into a pre-configured Nuxt.js server with full CI/CD integration, enabling us to fully utilize Weweb as a studio and meet business-critical needs.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

I think you’d be better off by rebuilding the app, if you wanna do Nuxt. Given WeWeb’s code is unusable by a developer. Also it’s very deeply rooted end entangled with a lot of their tooling and methods. What you could instead do is use some pre-rendering library for vue and pre-render it yourself. You could also check out prerender.io etc.

Hello Broberto,

Thanks for your answer.

It’s definitely not the best option for us to rebuild a front end outside of Weweb, we are so tided and accustomed to the way we build with it.

I’m having a call with prerender team today, if any of you have questions in mind, please drop them below — I’ll bind the answers below :backhand_index_pointing_down:

We are exploring the option of Webstudio for this part of the app (distribution) do you have any feedback about this tool, and if it’s possible to get something similar to what we have at privatevillasmexico.com ?

Any other thoughts?

Thank you!

I have not used WebStudio to be honest, since it’s a young platform and I don’t miss anything at Wordpress, but it might be a simpler option indeed :slight_smile: (compared to something like Nuxt)
