Next.js Development
Production-grade Next.js applications — server-rendered, edge-optimised, and built to scale.
Next.js development that performs
Next.js is the gold standard for React applications that need to be fast, indexable, and maintainable. I build with the App Router, React Server Components, and edge runtimes — not the patterns that were cutting-edge in 2021.
What I build with Next.js
Whether it's a marketing site that needs perfect Lighthouse scores, a SaaS product with complex auth flows, or a headless commerce storefront pulling from Shopify or Supabase — Next.js handles it all cleanly. I pair it with Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, and Supabase or a headless CMS depending on your content needs.
Why Next.js over other frameworks
For most client projects I reach for Next.js when the site needs dynamic content, user authentication, or complex data fetching at scale. If the site is primarily content-driven with low interactivity, I'll often recommend Astro instead. I'll tell you which is right for your project before we start.
Common questions
Do you use the Pages Router or App Router?
App Router exclusively for new projects. It unlocks React Server Components, streaming, and much better SEO control. I only work with the Pages Router if we are maintaining an existing codebase.
Can you migrate my existing site to Next.js?
Yes — this is a core service. I have migrated sites from WordPress, Drupal, Webflow, and Squarespace to Next.js. See the migration services for full details.
How long does a Next.js project take?
A marketing site or landing page typically takes 2–4 weeks. A full SaaS product or headless commerce build is 6–12 weeks depending on scope.
Do you handle deployment and hosting?
I deploy to Vercel as the default. It is purpose-built for Next.js and gives you edge caching, preview deployments, and Web Analytics out of the box.
Will the site score 100 on Lighthouse?
For static and ISR pages, yes — consistently. For fully dynamic pages it depends on third-party scripts and data load patterns. I optimise every project against Core Web Vitals before handover.
