Apart from our specialization in the SSG aspect of Next.js, we also focus on great user experience and technical search engine optimization (SEO).
We achieve these by optimizing the site speed, following best practices, keeping accessibility and usability in mind, having a great mobile experience, and making sure the site can scale with more content and more visitors.
Get in touch with usBy utilizing Next's SSG, the entire site can be served via a CDN. Not just the images, but also the CSS, JS, JSON, fonts and HTML files.
When compared to plain React, a Next.js site will already display its content before any JavaScript has started loading. This is possible thanks to the build-time generated static HTML files.
If having a fully static site is not enough for your needs, Next.js also provides regular server-side rendering with a backend.
This enables you to have backend-specific functionalities like user registration, real-time data or backend authentication.
Next.js is developed by a large company and has matured enough to have support and solutions for most services and platforms.
Thanks to Next's popularity, it has support for most CMS solutions, e-commerce platforms and third-party packages.
If you have used WordPress, you know how its plugins and themes need to be updated regularly to prevent security breaches from happening. That's not an issue with static Next.js sites!
As a static Next.js site has no active backend, you don't have to worry about keeping the site updated. There is simply no way you can hack a site using only its static files.
The most popular hosting options for Next.js are Vercel and self-hosting it.
If you want to go with Vercel, deploying the site will be as easy as it can be and the whole site will be served via their global CDN.
If you want to enable your entire team to edit your site, you most likely want to connect Next.js to a headless CMS platform.
We have currently worked with Contentful, Storyblok, Dato CMS, Prismic, Agility, Strapi, WordPress and Shopify. If your choice of a CMS is not on that list, don't worry, learning a new CMS after using so many takes no effort at all — they all function the same.
Our recommendations currently are Storyblok or Contentful for regular marketing sites, Strapi if self-hosting the CMS is important for you, and Shopify for e-commerce.
We have experience in building large, medium, and small Next.js sites. Our usual site has around 10-200 pages, but some of the sites we work on are at around 3000-4000 pages now.
We work with any field, but most of our clients are from medical fields, tech startups, agencies, and education.
There is no single answer, but on average our Next.js builds take 2-4 weeks.
