This highly depends on what the customers wants.
A typical customer could look like this:
- small business owner
- can use a computer to do small office tasks (creating letters, spreadsheet, presentations), but is not tech-savvy
- doesn’t want to become tech-savvy, because they want to do their major business tasks
This is where you mostly use a CMS (Content Management System), e.g. Wordpress. The customer provides the content (either by creating it on theirself or paying another person), the management system handles the technical tasks. As a developer, you setup the CMS, customize it, provide some maintenance (e.g. updating the CMS).
I think this customer accounts for 70%+ of the market requests (request-wise, not revenue-wise)
The second type of customer could look like this:
- small to medium companies
- wants you to create a page/platform
- can handle the maintenance (because they have own developers)
- mostly done by agencies
This is where you mostly use tech stacks like MERN, MEAN, PERN, LAMP, Django, Ruby on Rails, Spring etc.
Actually you can use every language that can run:
- on the server (server side scripting/rendering)
- on the client (client side scripting/rendering) (e.g. JavaScript as full programming language (also WASM))
There are also specific “static site generator” libraries that do this for you, e.g. Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby etc.
You could create a big data structure with all your data, e.g. an array.
Then you could iterate over it with a for-loop and do something for each of the array items.
I think this topic talks about a similar idea:
