The Payload website template uses a 1-to-1 blocks to website mapping. This is reminiscent of Wordpress where the data inside the CMS controls exactly how the webpage design looks.

Since Payload is flexible, technically any other structure is possible.

For example:

Option 1: CMS determines exact website appearance:

Any visual element of the website would need a corresponding block created inside the CMS and the editor picks the block inside the admin panel. Changing anything including colors is done in the admin panel.

Option 2: CMS defines unstructured data, website designed separately:

Like #3 but the CMS is unstructured and contains only a few generic blocks for generic list data or generic long form data.

The website is separately designed and pulls data from the CMS based on an ID.

Essentially the CMS is barely designed and just serves as a bare bones editor GUI.

Option 3: CMS defines rich metadata, website designed separately:

Treat the CMS as a rich content store filled with FAQs, hero sections, call-to-actions, product descriptions but the actual appearance of the website is not determined by the CMS. The website designer can pull data from multiple points of the CMS and omit things that they don’t like.

Your website is separately designed but pulls whatever data it wants from the store.

morning guys,
tbh, I use React for development, but Vue has been catching my interest lately.
So, what are the advantages of Vue over React ?
