Next.js: The React Framework for Applications That Need Everything

Server-side rendering for SEO. Static generation for speed. API routes for backend logic. Incremental Static Regeneration for dynamic content at static speeds. Next.js gives you every rendering strategy and we build applications that use each one where it delivers the most value.

What's Included

Everything you get with our Next.js Development

Next.js Application with Rendering Strategy

Application architecture using the optimal mix of SSR, SSG, ISR, and client-side rendering for each page type, with TypeScript throughout

API Routes and Backend Integration

Server-side API routes for authenticated operations, data fetching, and third-party integrations that keep sensitive logic off the client

Deployment and Edge Configuration

Vercel or self-hosted deployment with edge functions, image optimization, caching headers, and performance monitoring configured for production

Our Next.js Development Process

1

Rendering Strategy Design

We analyze each page type in your application and assign the optimal rendering strategy: SSG for static content, ISR for dynamic content that updates periodically, SSR for personalized content, and CSR for interactive dashboards.

2

Application Development

We build the Next.js application with TypeScript, implement data fetching strategies for each page type, create API routes for server-side operations, and build the component library with Storybook.

3

Performance and SEO Optimization

We configure image optimization, implement structured data, optimize Core Web Vitals, and verify that search engines can index all content correctly.

4

Deployment and Monitoring

We deploy to Vercel or your preferred hosting with edge functions, caching configuration, and performance monitoring. We verify performance under load and configure alerts for degradation.

Key Benefits

SEO without sacrificing interactivity

Server-side rendering ensures search engines see fully rendered HTML. After the initial load, client-side navigation provides instant page transitions. You get the SEO benefits of a traditional server-rendered site with the interactivity of a single-page application.

Edge-cached performance globally

Statically generated pages are deployed to CDN edge nodes worldwide. Users in Tokyo and London get the same sub-500ms load times. ISR keeps content fresh without rebuilding the entire site.

Full-stack in a single deployment

API routes, server-side rendering, and client-side interactivity deploy as one unit. No separate backend server to manage. Vercel handles scaling automatically. Your infrastructure complexity drops dramatically.

Research & Evidence

Backed by industry research and proven results

Page Load and Conversion

A 1-second site converts at 3x the rate of a 5-second site, and Next.js static generation with ISR delivers pages from CDN edge nodes in under 500ms globally

Web Page Statistics

The median web page is 2.3 MB, and Next.js automatic code splitting ensures users only download the JavaScript needed for the current page

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we use Next.js or Astro?

Next.js for applications with significant dynamic features: user authentication, dashboards, real-time data, and complex client-side interactions. Astro for content-heavy sites where performance is paramount and most pages are static: marketing sites, documentation, and blogs. Astro ships zero JavaScript by default; Next.js ships a runtime but gives you server-side rendering and API routes.

Can Next.js handle our scale?

Yes. Next.js on Vercel auto-scales globally. Static pages are served from CDN with effectively unlimited capacity. Server-rendered pages and API routes scale with serverless functions. We have built Next.js applications serving millions of page views per month.

Do we have to use Vercel?

No. Next.js can be self-hosted on any Node.js environment, deployed to AWS with SST or Amplify, or run on Docker. Vercel provides the smoothest deployment experience and the best edge runtime, but it is not required.

How long does Next.js development take?

A marketing site or content platform takes 4 to 8 weeks. A full web application with authentication, dashboards, and API routes takes 8 to 14 weeks. Complex applications with real-time features and third-party integrations take 12 to 20 weeks.
