The Short Version
Why we reach for it.
Once a build moves beyond a no-code platform, it needs somewhere to actually deploy to. Vercel handles that cleanly for modern frameworks: fast builds, instant previews and reliable global delivery, without anyone having to manage infrastructure directly.
BEst fit when you're...
Framework-based builds like Next or Astro that need a deployment target
Teams who want instant preview links for review before going live
Projects needing reliable global performance without managing servers
Pairing with GitHub for a full build-and-deploy pipeline
Framework-native deployment
Every change gets a live preview link before it ships, so review happens on the real thing.
Preview environments

Our Reviews
Do we need this if we're on Webflow?
No. This is specifically for custom-coded, framework-based builds outside Webflow, Webflow handles its own hosting.
Why Vercel over just hosting it ourselves?
You can self-host, but you then own the servers, scaling and uptime. Vercel removes that overhead so the team stays focused on the build, not the plumbing.
Will it hold up under a traffic spike?
Yes. Delivery is spread across a global edge network that scales automatically, so a campaign or a spike doesn't knock the site over.
Can we preview work before it goes live?
Every change generates its own preview URL, so stakeholders can sign off on exactly what will ship before it reaches anyone real.
