Built a scalable meal-planning SaaS with payments and user migration.
We build production Next.js applications with the App Router, React Server Components, and edge rendering. Smaller bundles, faster first paint, better search visibility.

React framework
The React team recommends Next.js first for new production applications.
2016
Released by Vercel
A decade of shipping. React 19 support landed in Next.js 15.
Next.js fits when you need search-engine-friendly rendering and a rich, app-like interface in the same codebase. It's the default pick for public-facing React products where both ranking and interactivity matter.
Pre-rendered pages load in under a second and ship clean metadata to Google, so organic traffic and paid traffic both convert.
The App Router handles nested layouts, streaming, and parallel routes. Users see data appear instead of staring at a blank spinner.
Server Actions, Route Handlers, and database access live in the same repo as your UI. Fewer APIs to own, fewer services to deploy.
Production Next.js is more than React components. These are the parts we own on every build.
We tune LCP, CLS, and INP with next/image, next/font, and bundle budgets that hold across releases.
Dynamic pages render on the server and arrive as HTML. The first paint is content, not a loading spinner.
Pages that rarely change are built once and served from the CDN. ISR and on-demand revalidation handle the rest.
Auth checks, geo routing, and bot filtering run at the edge. No cold start, no extra network hop.
Per-route metadata, auto-generated sitemaps, RSS feeds, and JSON-LD. Google gets what it needs on the first crawl.
Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, or Payload. We wire the fetch layer to ISR so editors publish without redeploys.
Create React App was deprecated in 2025. Most teams moved to Next.js or Vite.

Live platforms built on our Next.js architecture.

Built a scalable meal-planning SaaS with payments and user migration.

AI platform to surface leadership signals and improve team performance.

Online contract management system — edit contracts in-browser, manage all clients in one place. Acquired from Legal Paige.

Rebuilt the agency's own marketing site as a static Next.js 15 export powered by Strapi 5 CMS — sub-second loads, full editorial control, zero runtime server.
Moving from client-only React to a Next.js setup that renders on the server.
Slow client-side rendering and blank screens
Client-only React apps ship a JS bundle before rendering a single pixel. First paint slips past three seconds on slow networks.
Weak Google rankings
Search crawlers still struggle with client-rendered apps. If your content only appears after a fetch, you lose ranking and social previews.
Tangled routing and state management
Third-party routers and global state libraries stacked on top of each other turn data flow into guesswork.
Pre-rendered HTML on the first response
Next.js returns HTML on the first request. The app hydrates in the background and becomes interactive without a flash of blank screen.
Dynamic meta tags and structured data
Metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD are generated per route on the server. Search and social platforms get accurate previews every time.
App Router and typed Server Actions
Data fetching sits inside Server Components. Mutations run through Server Actions. The client bundle stays small and your types stay honest.
We build production Next.js apps, not demos. Server Components, edge middleware, ISR caching, and streaming are all wired up for real traffic and real error budgets.

Avg. Lighthouse score
We set cache headers, configure ISR, and run preview deployments on every PR.
Logic lives on the server, so your JS bundle shrinks and pages load faster.
next/image and next/font prevent layout shift, so your users don't see the page jump during load.
Redirects, A/B tests, and auth checks run at the edge before the page starts rendering.
Specific technical questions about Vercel, React, or SSR? We answer the real ones below.
Ready to build your Next.js product?
No lock-in. Next.js runs on AWS, Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, Docker, or any Node.js host. Vercel is the fastest path for most teams because it was built by the same people, but we deploy to whichever platform fits your security and compliance needs.
App Router by default. It's stable, it supports React Server Components and streaming, and it's where the Next.js team is investing. We only use Pages Router when extending an existing codebase that already runs on it.
Route handlers and middleware run on the server, so session checks never hit the client. We use Auth.js, Clerk, or a custom integration against your own identity provider depending on the project. Tokens stay in HTTP-only cookies, never in localStorage.
Yes. Server Components and Server Actions query PostgreSQL through Prisma, Drizzle, or plain SQL. No separate API layer is required for internal data access. For public APIs we still expose Route Handlers so other services can consume them.
Most state lives on the server now. For URL state we use search params. For shared client state we reach for Zustand or Jotai. We use Redux only when an existing codebase already depends on it.
Yes, and it's often the best fit. Static pages get generated at build time and cached at the edge. Framer Motion runs on hydrated client components. Core Web Vitals stay healthy because the initial HTML is light.
Let's map out the architecture and get you a technical timeline.
