Choose HTML or Next.js generation

Overview

BaseStack supports HTML generation for all users. Paid plans can also generate a Next.js project bundle for users who want to keep developing the site outside BaseStack.

Choose HTML when

Key points

• You want the fastest path to a published BaseStack page.
• You plan to keep editing inside the BaseStack editor.
• You do not need a local developer workflow.
• You want a simple export that can be inspected as a complete document.

Choose Next.js when

Key points

• You are on a plan that includes Next.js export.
• You want React project files you can customize in a codebase.
• You expect to add custom components, routes, integrations, or developer tooling later.
• You are comfortable running, building, and deploying a web project yourself.

Next.js export is a starting point

Exported files may still need normal developer review before deployment, especially if you add custom code, packages, forms, or integrations.
