There are also some important decisions to be made:

  • Should we stick with SSR (server-side rendering) or should we swtich to CSR (client side rendering) using both Django DRF and react js
  • Should we do the design ourselves or pay someone (on fiverr) to do it

Ive decided to stick with SSR for reasons such as better SEO, current implementation, easier with django, etc. If this ever becomes big and the need for an API becomes obvious, I might consider switching
