Deploy
Vercel
The easiest way to deploy the template is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js. Check out the Next.js deployment documentation for more details.
Netlify / GitHub Pages / Firebase etc.
As the template uses next/image
for image optimization, additional configurations have to be made to deploy on other popular static hosting websites like Netlify or GitHub Pages. An alternative image optimization provider such as Imgix, Cloudinary or Akamai has to be used. Alternatively, replace the next/image
component with a standard <img>
tag. See next/image
documentation for more details.
The API routes used in the newsletter component cannot be used in a static site export. You will need to use a form API endpoint provider and substitute the route in the newsletter component accordingly. Other hosting platforms such as Netlify also offer alternative solutions - please refer to their docs for more information.
