Next.js Development
We build production Next.js applications that are fast, maintainable, and deployed correctly. Next.js is a capable framework, but a capable framework with the wrong architecture still produces a slow or fragile application. We make the structural decisions correctly before writing the first page.
Capabilities
What we build with Next.js
SEO · Static · CMS
Marketing and Content Sites
Next.js marketing sites with static generation, image optimization, and structured data. Built to perform well in Core Web Vitals from launch rather than as an optimization project six months later.
Server Actions · API Routes
Full-Stack Web Applications
Full-stack applications using the Next.js App Router with Server Actions, Route Handlers, and React Server Components. Data fetching on the server where it belongs, with client interactivity where it is needed.
Headless · Shopify · Custom
E-Commerce Storefronts
Custom storefronts built on Next.js fronting headless commerce platforms like Shopify, Commerce.js, or custom APIs. Fast product pages, optimized images, and cart state handled without full-page reloads.
Auth · Multi-tenant · Dashboard
SaaS Application Frontends
SaaS product interfaces with authentication, tenant isolation, subscription gating, and admin dashboards. App Router layout nesting for complex authenticated route structures.
Route Handlers · Server Actions
API-First Platforms
Next.js as a lightweight API layer or backend-for-frontend, handling authentication, data aggregation, and response transformation before data reaches the browser.
Modernization
Migration from CRA or Pages Router
Migrating applications from Create React App to Next.js, or from the Pages Router to the App Router. We do this incrementally so the application stays deployable throughout the migration.
Our approach
Server Components are not always the answer
The Next.js App Router defaults to Server Components, and they are the right choice for data fetching and static content. But a component that needs browser APIs, event handlers, or animation requires a Client Component. We are deliberate about the boundary between server and client, rather than defaulting to one or the other.
Rendering strategy per page, not per project
A Next.js application can statically generate some pages, server-render others, and stream others. We choose the rendering strategy that fits each route's data freshness requirements, not a single strategy applied universally.
Self-hosted deployment is the default
We deploy Next.js on Linux servers, Amazon EC2, or containerized environments running on your own infrastructure. We configure Nginx as a reverse proxy, set up PM2 or Docker for process management, and wire up CloudFront or another CDN for static asset delivery. You own the stack — there is no platform vendor in the middle.
Performance is measurable
We run Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals audits before launch as a matter of standard practice, not in response to complaints. Image sizing, font loading, JavaScript bundle size, and server response time are all configurable in Next.js if you know where to look.
All engineering work is done by US-based engineers. We do not offshore any development or architecture work.
