Which technologies to choose when building an online project with AI
You need features and don’t care whether you’ll be visible on Google
Do you want to create with AI:
an app,
a dashboard,
product UI,
internal tools,
more complex interactions
Then tell AI that you want to build your project using React and TypeScript.
You are building a project where content is key and you want to be discoverable on Google
Do you want to create with AI:
a website for a company, project, person, or product,
a more complex landing page,
a blog,
a catalog,
an e-shop - online sales
Then tell AI that you want to build your project using Next.js and TypeScript.
You are building a project where speed and simplicity matter
Do you want to create with AI:
a simple landing page (for example, to direct traffic from paid ads, where the site must load really fast so people don’t leave before it loads)
a simple microsite, for example to introduce a new product
a fast promo website.
Then tell AI that you want to build your project using HTML and JS.
There are also other technologies, such as Vue / Nuxt, Astro, Svetle, Angular, and others. Their use is more specific and usually chosen by someone who already knows something about them. Ideally, when creating a project, also ask AI which technologies it recommends for the build, and you can compare the answer with the recommendations above. AI will either explain why the suggested technology is better, or agree with you. What always matters, though, is to specify for AI what the project is meant to do and what you expect from it.
Brief explanation of individual technologies
React
React is a tool for building interactive parts of websites and web applications. It helps assemble a page from smaller reusable parts, such as buttons, forms, or entire sections.
Next.js
Next.js is a framework built on React that makes it easier to create fast websites and applications. It is especially suitable where performance, SEO, and better project structure matter.
TypeScript
TypeScript is an extension of JavaScript that helps catch code errors earlier during development. This makes work clearer and safer, especially on larger projects.
HTML
HTML is the basic language of the web that defines a page’s content and structure. It tells the browser what is a heading, paragraph, image, or link.
CSS
CSS takes care of a website’s appearance. It is used to set colors, sizes, layout of elements, or the look of a page on mobile.
JavaScript (JS)
JavaScript brings a website to life and makes it interactive. It allows a page to respond to clicks, submit forms, or change content without reloading the whole page.
JS vs TypeScript
JavaScript is the basic language used to write a website’s behavior.
TypeScript is its improved version, which also checks data types and helps catch errors before they appear in the application.
And a bonus at the end: an explanation of the term framework. People in this field encounter this term very often.
Framework in computer science is a prebuilt foundation (a set of tools, libraries, and rules) used so that not everything has to be written from scratch and more focus can be placed on building the application’s specific features. Web frameworks, for example, automatically handle things like navigation between pages, database access, user login, or security.
Simply put: a framework is like a “building kit” — you get ready-made parts and instructions so you don’t have to deal with routine tasks that are essentially handled the same way in every website.
