Services — Next.js

Next.js developer for fast React applications

This website is proof of it: I build marketing sites, dashboards and client portals in Next.js and React that score well on speed and SEO. Next.js is my choice when a project needs more than a plain React SPA — server-side rendering, static generation where it fits, and an architecture that search engines and AI crawlers understand just as well as visitors.

Why Next.js

01

SEO a plain SPA can't deliver

Server-side rendering and static generation put content directly in the HTML instead of only after a client-side JavaScript render — crucial for search engines and AI search engines crawling pages.

02

Speed by default, not an afterthought

Automatic code-splitting, image optimization and edge caching are built into the framework, instead of needing to be patched in afterwards with plugins.

03

The React ecosystem without the loose ends

You get the full flexibility of React components, but with routing, data-fetching and API routes that form a coherent whole out of the box.

04

Works alongside an existing backend

Next.js can talk to a Laravel, WordPress or other CMS backend as a frontend via APIs, or run fully standalone with its own API routes — whatever the project needs.

What I build

  • Marketing and content websites with strong Core Web Vitals
  • Dashboards and client portals in React
  • Headless frontends on a Laravel or WordPress backend
  • Multilingual sites (i18n) with server-side rendering
  • Migration from a legacy SPA to Next.js
  • Performance audits and optimization of existing React apps

Frequently asked questions

Good Questions

Setting expectations before we start, with a real process and honest answers.

I can, but I rarely recommend it. As soon as SEO, load time or a public-facing website are part of the picture, Next.js almost always delivers a better result than a client-only React SPA.

Yes, that's a common setup: WordPress or Laravel remains the content source via an API, and Next.js provides a fast, headless frontend on top.

Usually Vercel for simplicity and edge performance, but self-hosted deploys (Docker, VPS) are also possible if your infrastructure requires it.
