# Revamping my personal site


## Overview

Initially, my website (https://www.nishantwrp.com) was a simple vue application where almost everything was hardcoded. I didn't take advantage of Vue at all.

But recently I revamped my site and some of the major changes I made are
- **Migrated To Gridsome** - I used Gridsome which is a static site generator for Vue. Doing this had many benefits like 
	- SEO Friendly site
	- Easier to integrate with content management systems
	- Faster Site
- **Using a CMS** - I started using Contentful as a CMS to manage content easily.
- **PWA** - Because PWAs are cool!


## Tech Stack
-  [Gridsome](https://gridsome.org/) - I have used gridsome as the main framework.
-  [Contentful](https://www.contentful.com/) - I have used Contentful as the CMS for this site.
-  [Vue Js](https://vuejs.org/) - Well this is obvious by the fact that I'm using Gridsome.
-  [Vuetify](https://vuetifyjs.com/) - I have used Vuetify as the UI framework.
- [Gitalk](https://github.com/gitalk/gitalk) - I used gitalk as a commenting system for my posts.


## Things I Learnt
This was my first time working with a Static Site Generator. And I totally loved the experience and plan to use Gridsome in my future projects as well.<br>

This was my first time using an external CMS as well. I really liked how a CMS can make things organized.
