Who it is for

For businesses that want modern architecture, strong performance, and clean code they can keep long-term.

Businesses outgrowing WordPress or page builders
Teams that want SSR/SSG for SEO and speed
SaaS and product companies needing a marketing site
Owners who care about Core Web Vitals scores
Clients who want documented, transferable code

The problem

Slow, bloated sites hurt rankings and conversions

Heavy themes, plugin stacks, and outdated frameworks create security risks, slow pages, and expensive maintenance — while Next.js sites stay lean and fast by default.

WordPress plugins conflict and slow the site down
Developers disappear and leave unmaintainable code
Page builders export messy HTML that ranks poorly
You need API integrations but your stack cannot support them
Hosting bills spike with traffic spikes

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why Next.js for a business website?

Next.js combines fast static pages for SEO with server features when you need them — plus excellent Core Web Vitals out of the box. It is used by companies from startups to Fortune 500.

Do I need to know React to update my site?

No. We can integrate a headless CMS on larger projects, or handle updates for you on a maintenance plan. Small sites are updated by us on request.

Where is the site hosted?

Google Cloud Run — auto-scaling, SSL included, Google's serverless container platform. Managed hosting from £15/month.

Can you migrate from WordPress?

Yes. We rebuild on Next.js, preserve URLs where possible, and redirect old pages to protect SEO.
