What is Vue?

Vue.js is an open-source framework for web interfaces, launched in 2014 by Evan You. It competes with React and Angular for building modern web apps and is considered the most accessible of the three.

Agencies and in-house teams use it to build customer portals, product configurators, dashboards, and internal tools. Its strength lies in its quick adoption: developers can deliver results in days, and Vue can be integrated piece by piece into existing pages instead of rewriting everything.

React has a larger talent pool and more ready-made libraries; if you're looking to hire developers, you'll simply find more candidates for React. However, Vue code is considered cleaner and cheaper to maintain, and Nuxt bridges the gap for SEO-critical pages.

As a business owner, you rarely choose the framework yourself, but having a say still helps: For long-term projects with small teams, Vue is a solid choice. More important than the brand is that your team masters it. For pure marketing sites, Webflow or WordPress are sufficient.
