Next.js for products that need speed, SEO and room to grow.

Fast, SEO-friendly sites and web apps with server rendering built in.

Overview

What Next.js is, and why teams choose it

Next.js is a React framework that adds routing, server-side and static rendering, data fetching and build optimisation. One codebase can serve fast marketing pages, signed-in application screens and API endpoints.

Teams choose Next.js because it produces fast pages by default, handles SEO essentials such as metadata and structured data cleanly, and deploys to many hosts, including AWS, Azure, Cloudflare and Vercel. This website is built with Next.js and runs on Cloudflare Workers.

Why it’s a good choice

  • Static, server and streamed rendering in one framework
  • Strong defaults for performance and SEO
  • Runs on many hosting platforms, not just one vendor’s
  • A single codebase for site, app and API routes

What we build

What we build with Next.js

  • 01

    Marketing sites that convert

    Statically generated pages with structured data, optimised images and fonts, and a headless CMS where editors need one.

  • 02

    Signed-in web applications

    App Router applications with Server Components, server actions and role-based access, keeping sensitive logic on the server.

  • 03

    Headless storefronts

    Storefronts on top of Shopify or a custom commerce back end, with fast product and category pages and clean URLs.

  • 04

    Content-heavy platforms

    Documentation, knowledge bases and publishing sites with incremental regeneration, so updates appear without full rebuilds.

  • 05

    Edge-deployed sites

    Deployments to Cloudflare Workers through OpenNext, keeping hosting costs low and pages close to users.

Our approach

Engineering practices we bring to every build.

How we keep Next.js work tested, fast, secure and easy to release.

  • Rendering strategy

    Static, dynamic or streamed rendering chosen per route and documented, so performance doesn’t erode as features are added.

  • Performance

    Core Web Vitals budgets checked with Lighthouse, careful use of client components, and font and image optimisation.

  • Security

    Server-only modules for secrets, validated server actions, strict Content Security Policy headers and scheduled dependency updates.

  • CI/CD

    Preview deployments for every pull request, with type checks, linting and end-to-end tests before anything reaches production.

  • Company and product marketing sites
  • SaaS applications with public and private areas
