Next.js Development Services
Next.js is my default choice whenever a site needs to rank in search or load fast on the first visit. It gives you server rendering, file-based routing, and image/metadata handling without hand-rolling a build pipeline, which means less infrastructure code and more time spent on the product itself.
I build and maintain production Next.js applications end to end — architecture decisions, data fetching strategy, deployment, and the ongoing changes that come after launch.
Problems This Solves
- arrow_rightA React single-page app that search engines can't index properly because content only appears after client-side JavaScript runs
- arrow_rightMarketing pages that load slowly because the whole bundle ships before anything becomes visible
- arrow_rightA codebase with no clear pattern for where data fetching, routing, and rendering decisions belong
- arrow_rightNeeding both a fast marketing site and an authenticated app in the same codebase without duplicating infrastructure
What's Included
- checkApp Router architecture with route groups and layouts
- checkServer and client component split for minimal JS shipped to the browser
- checkMetadata API setup for per-page titles, descriptions, and Open Graph tags
- checkImage optimization with next/image
- checkAPI routes or Route Handlers for backend logic
- checkDeployment pipeline (Vercel or self-hosted Node)
How I Work
- Scope the pages and data sources, and decide what should be static, server-rendered, or client-rendered
- Set up the App Router structure, shared layouts, and design system integration (Tailwind CSS, component library)
- Build out routes, data fetching, and forms, with TypeScript types shared between frontend and API layer
- Wire up metadata, sitemap, and structured data before launch, not after
- Deploy, monitor Core Web Vitals, and hand over a codebase that's straightforward for another developer to pick up
Technology Stack
- arrow_rightNext.js (App Router)
- arrow_rightReact
- arrow_rightTypeScript
- arrow_rightTailwind CSS
- arrow_rightNode.js APIs
- arrow_rightPostgreSQL or Supabase for data
- arrow_rightVercel or Docker-based deployment
Suitable For
Businesses that need a marketing site to actually rank in search, SaaS products that want a fast public-facing site alongside an app shell, and teams migrating off a slow client-rendered React app or a legacy CMS theme.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Next.js instead of a plain React app?add
A plain React app (Vite, Create React App) renders everything in the browser, so search engines and social media crawlers see an empty page until JavaScript executes. Next.js renders the initial HTML on the server or at build time, so content is present immediately — this matters directly for organic search visibility and for how fast the page feels on a slow connection.
Do you use the Pages Router or the App Router?add
App Router for new projects — it's the current model Next.js is built around, with better support for layouts, streaming, and server components. I'll work in the Pages Router for existing projects that are already built on it rather than force a migration that isn't needed.
Can you migrate an existing React app to Next.js?add
Yes. The routing and component structure usually carry over with adjustments; the bigger work is deciding what should become a server component versus stay client-side, and rebuilding data fetching around Next.js's model instead of useEffect-based fetching.
Do you handle hosting and deployment?add
Yes — typically Vercel for simplicity, or a Docker container on your own infrastructure if you need to keep everything in-house or avoid vendor lock-in.
