  1. A utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    There are several alternatives to MUI. shadcn/ui is a modern alternative that is very popular. Ant Design is also a great alternative. Charkra UI can also be used as a UI Framework. Some people suggest just using styled components. Some use Tailwind CSS. Yet, for both styled components and Tailwind CSS, one still writes a lot of CSS. This might not provide the best developer experience compared to using a UI Framework, especially if we aim to avoid designing all the pages on the website.

  4. A small framework for server-rendered universal JavaScript apps
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    That's where Next.js shines. It's a React framework that provides server-side rendering and static website generation. So, the pages powered with Next.js get rendered on the server first, after which the HTML is sent to the browser, making sure the initial content of the page has all the necessary information about the page. After the page is rendered, only the necessary JavaScript is sent to the client, making sure that the bundle sent to the user's browser is minimal. This improves both the users's experience and how well search engine bots understand the page.
