Streamlined Navigation

Ease of navigation is essential for a user-friendly app. Ensuring users can easily find what they're looking for on your site not only enhances their user experience but also increases their chances of returning.


Consistent and easy-to-understand navigation, coupled with the high performance provided by NextJS, can greatly improve the user experience. NextJS provides developers with the capability to implement dynamic routing, allowing easy creation of clean URLs, making navigation more intuitive.


You can create easy-to-use navigation menus and breadcrumbs with NextJS. It caters to SPA (Single Page Applications), which means you can switch between pages without a full page reload -an aspect that improves navigation speed and overall UX.


Easy Accessibility and Responsive Design

An important aspect of UX is inclusivity, which can be achieved through accessibility. A successful web app must be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. NextJS supports the implementation of accessibility features and compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and other accessibility standards.


Next up is responsive design. Nowadays, users access the web from various devices - desktops, tablets, smartphones. As such, your app should look and function seamlessly on all device screens. NextJS makes creating responsive designs easier, thus improving the UX of your app over multiple devices.


Faster Load Time

In the realm of UX, every second count. Slow-loading apps frustrate users and lead to high bounce rates. NextJS shines in this aspect by offering features like automatic code splitting, which speeds up page load times. It only loads the JavaScript needed for a specific page, drastically improving loading speed and, consequently, UX.
