Next.js Development
Professional Next.js development services. Custom web applications, server-side rendering, static site generation, and full-stack React solutions built for performance and scalability.
What I do
Full-service Next.js development covering custom web applications, server-side rendering, static site generation, API development, and third-party integrations. Building modern React applications that perform.
Custom Web Applications
Bespoke Next.js applications built from scratch. Tailored solutions with clean architecture, scalable code, and modern React patterns.
Server-Side Rendering
Implementing SSR for improved SEO and initial load performance. Dynamic content rendered on the server for faster time-to-content.
Static Site Generation
Building fast, cacheable static pages with SSG. Pre-rendered content for optimal performance and CDN deployment.
API Development
Building REST and GraphQL APIs with Next.js API routes. Backend functionality integrated within the Next.js application.
Third-Party Integrations
Connecting Next.js applications with external APIs, services, and platforms. Stripe, authentication providers, CMS platforms, and more.
Performance Optimisation
Implementing Next.js optimisations including image optimisation, code splitting, and incremental static regeneration for maximum speed.
Problems I solve
Helping businesses build fast, scalable React applications with proper SEO and performance. Moving beyond client-side rendering limitations to deliver production-ready Next.js solutions.
The Problem
Slow React applications with poor initial load performance and SEO
The Solution
Implementing server-side rendering and static generation to deliver pre-rendered HTML. Faster time-to-content and search engine visibility.
The Problem
Complex full-stack architecture requiring separate frontend and backend
The Solution
Building unified Next.js applications with API routes handling backend logic. Simplified deployment and reduced infrastructure complexity.
The Problem
Need modern React features without framework complexity
The Solution
Leveraging Next.js built-in features like routing, data fetching, and optimisations. Production-ready React without configuration overhead.
The Problem
Scalability concerns as application grows in complexity
The Solution
Architecting Next.js applications with modular structure, efficient data fetching strategies, and scalable patterns from the start.

How it works
A structured approach to building your Next.js application. Regular updates and testing ensure the final product meets your requirements.
Discovery
Understanding your requirements, target users, and technical needs. Discussing rendering strategy, data requirements, and integration needs.
Planning
Creating technical architecture, selecting appropriate Next.js features, and defining project timeline. Setting up development environment.
Development
Building your Next.js application iteratively. Implementing components, API routes, and integrations with regular testing and updates.
Launch & Support
Deploying to production, configuring hosting, and optimising performance. Providing documentation and ongoing support as needed.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Next.js development. If you have a specific question not covered here, feel free to get in touch.
Use Next.js when you need server-side rendering for SEO, static site generation for performance, or full-stack capabilities with API routes. Choose plain React for dashboards or internal apps where SEO is not critical. Next.js provides better performance out of the box with automatic code splitting, image optimisation, and simplified deployment.
SSR (Server-Side Rendering) renders pages on each request - ideal for dynamic, personalised content. SSG (Static Site Generation) pre-renders pages at build time - best for content that rarely changes. ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) updates static pages in the background - suitable for content that changes periodically. The choice depends on content freshness requirements and traffic patterns.
Yes. Migration involves restructuring components to use Next.js routing, implementing data fetching methods (getServerSideProps, getStaticProps), and configuring server-side rendering where beneficial. The process can be incremental - migrating pages one at a time while keeping the app functional. Typical migration takes 2-6 weeks depending on app complexity.
Yes. I build bespoke Next.js applications with custom architectures tailored to your requirements. This includes selecting appropriate rendering strategies, designing scalable folder structures, implementing authentication, integrating third-party APIs, and setting up CI/CD pipelines. Each project is built for long-term maintainability.
Vercel provides the best experience with automatic optimisations for Next.js features including ISR, image optimisation, and edge functions. AWS, Netlify, and other platforms also work well for specific requirements. I advise on the best option based on your performance needs, budget, and existing infrastructure.
Yes. Next.js connects to any backend via REST or GraphQL APIs. Next.js API routes can act as middleware between frontend and backend services, handling authentication, rate limiting, or data transformation. This allows gradual modernisation without replacing existing infrastructure.
