Next.js Development

Fast, indexable web apps built on React

Next.js applications with the App Router, React Server Components and edge-ready rendering — marketing sites that score 100 on Lighthouse, authenticated portals, dashboards and map-driven products. This very website is built on it.

Representative Next.js code from our projects

01Why Next.js

What Next.js does better than the alternatives

01

Rendering per route

Static generation for marketing pages, ISR for catalogues, streaming SSR for dashboards and client rendering for maps — chosen page by page.

02

Server Components

Data fetching and heavy dependencies stay on the server, shrinking client bundles and simplifying data access.

03

Performance by default

Image and font optimisation, route prefetching, partial prerendering and caching layers deliver top Lighthouse scores without heroics.

04

Deploy anywhere

Vercel for zero-config, or Docker on AWS, Azure, GCP and on-prem for organisations with hosting requirements.

Choose Next.js when

  • Public websites and portals where SEO, Core Web Vitals and accessibility are measured
  • Authenticated dashboards that mix server-rendered data with rich client interactions
  • Products that will grow — routing, data fetching and caching conventions scale with the team
  • Teams that want React with production tooling decided for them

Not sure it fits? Compare with the alternatives below or ask us — recommendations are part of every consultation.

Next.js vs. alternatives

02What we build with it

Next.js in production

Corporate and product websites

Content-rich, fast and indexable — with a headless CMS when editors need control.

Customer and citizen portals

Authenticated self-service portals with forms, documents and status tracking.

Map-driven web apps

ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript, Mapbox GL JS or MapLibre embedded as client components.

Operational dashboards

Streaming data, charts and tables with server-side filtering and role-based access.

E-commerce and catalogues

ISR product pages, search, checkout integrations and analytics.

Internal tools

Admin panels and back-offices that replace spreadsheets and legacy apps.

03How we work with Next.js

05Honest comparison

Next.js or something else?

Next.js vs React.js (SPA)

Choose Next.js when SEO, first-load performance or server data access matter; a plain React SPA is fine for purely internal tools behind a login.

Next.js vs PHP Laravel

Choose Next.js for rich interactive frontends with a JavaScript team; choose Laravel when server-rendered pages and a batteries-included backend are the priority.

Still undecided? The web technology guide walks through when we recommend each option.
