The Site Stack: Next.js 15 + Tailwind 4 + MDX (and a no-backend contact form)

Why this stack

• Next.js 15 (App Router): file-based routes, server components, easy SEO.
• Tailwind 4: consistent design tokens, small CSS, quick iteration.
• MDX: prose + components in one file—great for Insights and Projects.

Contact without a backend

We use Formspree for the contact form:

• Client-only submit to https://formspree.io/f/…
• Honeypot field (_gotcha) and JSON response handling
• Swap to Resend/Postmark later if needed

Scheduling

A simple “Schedule a call” button links to Microsoft Bookings. No iframe needed; open in a new tab for reliability.

What this buys us

• Editors can add posts as .mdx without touching routes.
• Engineers can embed components inline (charts, callouts).
• Deploy anywhere; IIS or Vercel both work with the same build.
