Building and Deploying a BLOG Website with Next.js, Sanity, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Authjs, CMS, and Vercel

If you’re looking to build and deploy a modern, customizable blog website, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll walk through how to use Next.js, Sanity, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Authjs, a CMS, and Vercel to create a beautiful and functional blog website.

Step 1: Setting Up the Project

First, you’ll need to set up your project using Next.js, a popular React framework for building web applications. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

npx create-next-app my-blog

This will create a new Next.js project with all the necessary files and dependencies.

Step 2: Integrating Sanity

Next, you’ll want to integrate Sanity, a headless CMS that allows you to create and manage content for your blog. To do this, you can use the Sanity CLI to create a new project:

npx create-sanity my-blog

Then, you can use the sanity command in your terminal to start managing content for your blog.

Step 3: Adding TypeScript and Tailwind CSS

Now that you have your project set up and your CMS integrated, you can add TypeScript for type safety and Tailwind CSS for styling. You can install these by running the following commands:

npm install --save-dev typescript @types/react @types/node

npm install tailwindcss

You’ll also need to set up the Tailwind CSS configuration and create a styles file for your blog website.

Step 4: Implementing Authjs for Authentication

If you want to add user authentication to your blog, you can use Authjs, a simple and secure authentication service. You can install and integrate Authjs by following the documentation on their website.

Step 5: Building and Deploying with Vercel

Finally, once your blog website is built, styled, and integrated with your preferred CMS and authentication service, you can deploy it with Vercel, a cloud platform for deploying websites and serverless functions.

You can deploy your project by linking it to your Vercel account and running the deployment command in your terminal:

vercel

And that’s it! You’ve now built and deployed a blog website using Next.js, Sanity, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Authjs, a CMS, and Vercel. Your website is ready to go live and start sharing your content with the world.
