Next.js Development Agency
for Production Web Apps

We are Next.js specialists — not generalists who happen to know React. App Router, Server Components, edge runtime, RSC streaming. We build Next.js apps that score 95+ on Lighthouse and load in under one second.

We also build multi-tenant SaaS, mobile apps, and AI integrations. This page focuses on our Next.js practice specifically.

The Framework

The 6-Point Next.js Performance Audit

When we inherit a Next.js codebase or build a new one, every project gets run through the same six checkpoints. Each one is a place where most Next.js apps quietly lose performance — and a place we routinely recover 30 to 70 percent of load speed.

01

Core Web Vitals Baseline

We measure LCP, INP, and CLS against your real production traffic. Most apps we audit start above 2.5 seconds LCP. We bring them under 1.2 seconds — without rewriting the product.

02

Server vs Client Component Balance

Most Next.js apps marked every component 'use client' out of habit. We refactor to Server Components by default — typically cutting first-load JavaScript by 40 to 60 percent.

03

Image & Asset Pipeline

next/image with correct sizing, modern formats (AVIF, WebP), and proper priority hints. Most audits we run reveal images that ship 5 to 20 times larger than the rendered size.

04

Bundle Size & Code Splitting

Route-level code splitting, dynamic imports for heavy components, tree-shaking unused dependencies. Target: first-load JS under 100KB for typical pages.

05

Edge vs Node Runtime Placement

Route handlers that hit a database stay on Node. Pure transformations and auth checks move to edge runtime — cutting cold start time by 80 percent and TTFB to under 200ms.

06

Data Fetching Strategy

RSC streaming for data-heavy pages, ISR for content that changes occasionally, client-side fetching reserved for genuinely interactive state. Most apps we inherit do all three wrong.

What We Build with Next.js

Next.js is our default stack for any application with public-facing pages, real production users, or performance demands. The categories below cover roughly 90 percent of the Next.js work we ship.

Multi-Tenant SaaS Dashboards

Customer-facing SaaS with role-based access, usage tracking, Stripe billing, and admin panels. Server Components for fast dashboard loads. Built to scale to thousands of tenants.

Customer & Partner Portals

Self-service portals where users manage accounts, view data, submit requests, and track orders. Reduces support load by 40 to 60 percent.

Internal Tools & Operations Dashboards

CRM systems, inventory management, ops dashboards, and reporting tools. Custom-built to fit your workflow instead of bending your workflow to fit off-the-shelf software.

AI-Powered Web Apps

Next.js apps with embedded AI features — streaming LLM responses via RSC, semantic search, copilots, document intelligence. Pairs with our AI Integration service.

Headless Commerce Frontends

Next.js storefronts backed by Shopify, BigCommerce, or custom commerce APIs. App Router for instant page transitions and SEO-friendly product pages.

Compliance-Ready Applications

HIPAA-compliant healthcare apps, SOC 2 ready fintech tools, GDPR-aware EU products. Audit logging, encrypted data flows, and access controls built in from day one.

Our Performance Standard

The Numbers We Ship Against

Every Next.js app we ship is benchmarked against this table before launch. If we cannot hit these numbers, we do not consider the project ready for production handoff.

Our Next.js Stack

We use the same stack on every Next.js project — not because we are inflexible, but because we have shipped enough projects on this stack to know every shortcut, every performance trick, and every gotcha. You benefit from that accumulated knowledge.

Framework & Frontend

  • Next.js 14 / 15 (App Router)
  • React 19 Server Components
  • TypeScript strict mode
  • Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
  • Framer Motion for animations

App Router and Server Components are not optional for new projects in 2026. Pages Router is legacy.

Backend & Data

  • Next.js Route Handlers / API Routes
  • Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL
  • Redis for caching & sessions
  • Server Actions for forms
  • Edge runtime where it fits

Database queries run in Server Components or Route Handlers — never directly in Client Components.

Infrastructure & Deployment

  • Vercel (primary) or AWS
  • Preview deployments per PR
  • GitHub Actions CI/CD
  • Cloudflare R2 / S3 for assets
  • Sentry for error tracking

Vercel for most apps. AWS only when you have specific compute or compliance reasons.

Quality & Observability

  • Vitest + Playwright for tests
  • ESLint strict + Prettier
  • Lighthouse CI gates
  • Sentry performance traces
  • Custom Core Web Vitals dashboards

Lighthouse score is a build gate. We do not ship Next.js apps that score under 95.

Next.js Development by Industry

Next.js is the default stack for these verticals because performance, SEO, and a clean public-facing layer all matter at once. Each industry below has specific patterns we apply.

Next.js Development for SaaS Startups

Multi-tenant SaaS apps where dashboard performance and onboarding speed are the difference between trial-to-paid conversion. Server Components render the dashboard shell instantly while client-side islands handle interactivity.

See our SaaS Development service

Next.js Development for Healthcare

HIPAA-compliant patient portals, telemedicine platforms, and provider dashboards. Encrypted data flows, audit logging on every action, and session timeouts that match compliance requirements.

Next.js Development for Fintech

Transaction dashboards, real-time data feeds, and SOC 2 ready architectures. Server-side data fetching keeps financial data off the client. Structured logging meets audit requirements.

Next.js for AI-Powered Products

Server Components stream LLM responses cleanly. Edge runtime keeps function-calling latency low. Embedding pipelines run in API routes or background workers without blocking the UI.

Migrations

Next.js Migration Services

If you are on Create React App, Vite SPA, Gatsby, or Next.js Pages Router, the migration to Next.js App Router is one of the highest-leverage investments you can make. We do it without rewriting your product code from scratch.

Create React AppNext.js App Router

3-5 weeks

Most CRA migrations recover 50%+ load time and unlock SEO that was previously impossible.

Vite SPANext.js App Router

2-4 weeks

Vite to Next.js is one of the cleaner migrations — shared React patterns, similar tooling philosophy.

GatsbyNext.js App Router

4-6 weeks

ISR replaces Gatsby's static build model with on-demand revalidation. Faster builds, fresher content.

Pages RouterApp Router

3-6 weeks

Incremental migration is possible — App Router and Pages Router can coexist during the transition.

Case Study

Production Next.js We Shipped

Location Tech / AIUnited States · 5 weeks

DripMap — AI-Powered Location Discovery App ↗

A founder needed a Yelp-style discovery app powered by AI recommendations — and a well-funded competitor was about to launch something similar. An 18-item feature list threatened to push the launch past the window.

We scoped the MVP in week one and cut the feature list from 18 to 6. Built on React and Supabase with Gemini AI powering location-based recommendations. Clean architecture from day one, so the codebase could be handed to an in-house developer post-launch without rework.

Why Founders Pick Us as Their Next.js Development Agency

Next.js Specialists, Not Generalists

Every engineer on the team works in Next.js daily. We know the framework deeply — App Router edge cases, Server Component data fetching patterns, RSC streaming behavior. The gap between a Next.js specialist and a generic React shop shows up in every Lighthouse audit.

Performance Is the Default

We do not build fast Next.js apps and then optimize. Performance is part of the architecture from week one. Lighthouse 95+ is the floor, not the goal. Server-side data fetching where it matters, edge caching, optimized images by default.

Senior Engineers on Every Project

No junior developers. No account managers. The engineers you speak to in the discovery call are the engineers who write your code. Every engineer has 5+ years of production experience on real applications.

Clean Code Your Next Developer Can Read

Every PR goes through code review. We document architecture decisions. When you hand the project to your in-house team, they will not spend three months trying to understand what the previous team built.
