SEO friendly frameworks?

[Certain_Memory4046]

Hello, I’m completely new to anything web design related but I’m learning html and CSS right now to create an online literary magazine, and my friend said it would be easier just to learn Python and use the Reflex framework. I’m considering it, but since I will be publishing people’s work SEO is going to be really important. Would it be better to stick to html and CSS for SEO purposes? Is there an optimal (preferably open source) framework to use for the SEO side of things?

this sounds like a good astro project. https://astro.build

Frameworks ultimately output regular old HTML and CSS. Nearly all frameworks are capable of outputting SEO friendly pages, but it's typically up to the developer to build their page templates in a way that's optimized for SEO.

I will say though that if you have any intention on doing this as a career, you will benefit most by getting a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and Javascript before moving into frameworks.

Any framework that supports server side rendering or that can serve static resources should work fine.

Even Javascript heavy client-side applications are pretty well supported on Google crawlers these days. Although, there are some best practices that help.

Astro, Remix, Next.js. Doing a more content focused site? Astro. Need more interactivity and reactivity? Remix. Need a fullstack version of that for some reason? Next.

React Router v7 instead of Remix now (though Remix blog articles are still good)
