⚙️ Blazor vs. ASP.NET Core: Which .NET Web Framework Is Right for You?
When developing a custom .NET web application, one of the most critical decisions you’ll face is choosing the right framework. Two standout options in the Microsoft development ecosystem are ASP.NET Core and Blazor.

At Winning Solutions, Inc. (WSI), we guide our clients through every step of this decision, offering hands-on expertise to ensure your project starts on the strongest possible foundation.
🌐 What Is ASP.NET Core?
ASP.NET Core is Microsoft’s modern, cross-platform framework for building high-performance web applications and APIs. It’s the evolution of classic ASP.NET and is designed for flexibility, speed, and scalability.
