I had the pleasure (aka hell mode) of building a content site as a SPA because some non-technical manager kept pushing it (it was one of those companies).
It was an insane task to meet all the SEO requirements, we ended up doing server rendered pages, and keep in mind this was years ago so there was not a whole lot of support or tutorials on how to do it.
Oh well, I got paid to learn a bunch of new stuff so I can't complain :D
Yeah, I was gonna say SPAs are not really good for marketing type of sites. Doesn't work easily with SEO. I learned this the hard way, but there are other use cases for SPAs. Just don't use it for sites that require good SEO.
I am pushing for a rebuild of that site using Laravel and minimal amount of javascript, actually :D
That was the worst manager I've ever worked for. He also never pronounced my name right even after I told him, so he can go f** off. Still triggers me to this day :D
He pulled the SEO requirement at the last minute, since he would not invite the technical people to decision meetings.
