Next.js & React development, abstract technical illustration

Why this option

When it's the right call.

Next.js is the framework we reach for when a site needs to behave like an application, instant navigation, dynamic data, interactive interfaces, or when performance and scalability matter more than editing content in a familiar CMS. It renders on the server for speed and SEO, hydrates into a rich client experience, and deploys to a global edge network so it's fast everywhere.

You're building a product, dashboard, or highly interactive interface
You want app-like speed with instant page transitions
You need to pull in dynamic data from APIs or a headless CMS
Your team is comfortable with a modern development workflow

Who it's for

A good fit if…

SaaS products, dashboards and web applications
Marketing sites that want best-in-class performance and motion
Teams using a headless CMS (Sanity, Contentful, or WordPress as headless)
Startups that expect to scale and iterate quickly

Probably not, if

Maybe look elsewhere if…

You want to edit every page yourself in a familiar CMS (WordPress is friendlier)
You have a simple brochure site and a tight budget
You have no appetite for a modern deployment and build workflow

What you get

What's included.

Next.js (App Router) build with server and client components used correctly
TypeScript throughout for fewer runtime surprises
Responsive, accessible UI built from your design
SEO handled properly: server rendering, metadata, sitemaps, structured data
Headless CMS integration if you want editable content
Edge deployment (Vercel or similar) with a preview URL per branch
Analytics, error monitoring and a documented handover

Under the hood

How we actually build it.

The detail that separates a page that ranks and converts from one that just exists.

Rendering strategy chosen per page, not by dogma

Next.js lets you render each route the way that route deserves, static generation for pages that rarely change, server rendering for personalised or frequently-updated pages, and client rendering for genuinely interactive widgets.

A lot of Next.js sites are slow because everything is pushed into client components and the browser does work the server should have done. We pick the strategy per page: marketing pages are statically generated and served from the edge; a dashboard is server-rendered with the data it needs; only the interactive islands run on the client. That is how you get both SEO and app-like speed.

Server components and a lean client bundle

The App Router's server components let most of your UI render on the server and ship zero JavaScript to the browser. We keep client components small and intentional, the parts that actually need interactivity, so the JavaScript bundle stays light.

Less JavaScript means faster INP and LCP, better battery life on mobile, and a site that holds up on mid-range phones, not just the developer's laptop.

SEO that people wrongly assume React can't do

The old complaint that "React is bad for SEO" comes from single-page apps that render everything client-side, leaving crawlers a blank page. Next.js solves this by rendering HTML on the server.

We set per-page metadata and Open Graph tags, generate sitemaps and structured data, use clean semantic markup, and make sure every important page is server-rendered and indexable. Done right, a Next.js site is as crawlable as any static HTML page, and faster than most.

Headless CMS when content needs editing

If your team needs to edit content, we connect a headless CMS, Sanity, Contentful, or even WordPress running purely as a content API, so editors get a friendly interface while the front end stays fast and modern.

You get the editing experience of a CMS with none of the front-end baggage. If content is developer-managed, we skip the CMS entirely and keep it in the codebase.

Built to scale and to hand over

TypeScript, a sensible project structure, component reuse and a documented deployment pipeline mean the codebase is something another developer can pick up, including your own team.

We deploy to an edge platform with automatic preview URLs for every change, so you can review features before they go live. Everything is in your repositories and your accounts; you own the code and the infrastructure.

Switching over

Migrating from something else?

A slow React SPA Create React App A WordPress front end you want to modernise A static site generator

Moving to Next.js is usually about reclaiming performance and SEO. We migrate your components and routes, add server rendering where the old app rendered client-side, wire up metadata and sitemaps, set redirects for any changed URLs, and deploy to the edge. The result is the same product, faster, and properly indexable.

Avoid these

Common mistakes we don't make.

Putting everything in client components and shipping a huge JS bundle
Treating Next.js like a plain React SPA and losing the SEO benefits
Fetching data on the client that should be fetched on the server
Skipping TypeScript and paying for it in runtime bugs later
No caching strategy, so the edge advantage is wasted
Over-engineering a simple marketing site that WordPress would serve better

Straight talk

When we'd point you elsewhere.

We'd rather lose the sale than sell you the wrong thing.

If your team wants to edit every page in a familiar CMS without a developer, WordPress is the friendlier choice.

For a simple brochure site on a tight budget, our Starter web package is more sensible.
If you need e-commerce with a mature ecosystem out of the box, WooCommerce or Shopify may beat a custom build.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Isn't React bad for SEO?

Not with Next.js. It renders HTML on the server, so crawlers see a full page. We handle metadata, sitemaps and structured data, and keep important pages server-rendered, it's as indexable as static HTML, and faster than most sites.

Can my team still edit content?

Yes, if you want a CMS. We connect a headless CMS like Sanity or Contentful so editors get a friendly interface while the front end stays fast. If content is developer-managed, we can skip the CMS.

Where does it get hosted?

Usually an edge platform like Vercel, with a preview URL for every change so you can review before going live. It's all in your accounts, you own the code and infrastructure.

Is Next.js overkill for my site?

Sometimes. If you just need an editable brochure site, WordPress is friendlier and cheaper. Next.js earns its place when you need app-like interactivity, dynamic data, or top-tier performance at scale.

More general questions about working with us are answered on the FAQ page, or just ask us directly.
