I work in both Angular and Vue. The right one depends on what you are building, and I’ll recommend one and explain why.
When I recommend Angular#
Angular is a complete, opinionated framework. It shines in larger business applications with many screens, complex forms and several people working on the code over the years. Its structure keeps a big application organized, and its long-term support releases make upgrades predictable.
Typical fits: internal operations tools, customer portals with many features, admin systems.
When I recommend Vue#
Vue is lighter and quicker to build with. It is ideal for customer-facing sites, smaller applications, and adding interactive features to pages that must stay fast and search-friendly.
This website is an example. Every page is pre-rendered HTML that search engines can read, and Vue adds the interactive parts, like the contact form and the technology tabs, on top.
Details that make the difference#
- Mobile first. Most of your customers will see the app on a phone, so that is where the design starts.
- Accessibility. Proper labels, focus states, keyboard support and contrast make the app usable by everyone, and they help with search rankings too.
- Speed. Small bundles, lazy-loaded features and optimized assets, so pages are usable in a moment rather than after a spinner.
