Next.js and React applications
App Router architecture with a deliberate split between server and client components, streaming where it helps perceived speed, and caching and revalidation strategies chosen per route.
Fast, accessible web applications built on Next.js and React.
Web Development
A modern web front end is a real engineering project: rendering strategy, state management, a component system that stops the design drifting, and a performance budget that is enforced rather than admired. We build on Next.js and React, with accessibility designed in from the first component instead of audited at the end. Whether it is a product application, a headless CMS site or an e-commerce front end, the same standards apply — measured on real devices, not on a developer laptop.
What you get out of it
- Core Web Vitals in the green on mid-range mobile hardware, verified with field-realistic tests
- WCAG 2.2 AA conformance: keyboard operable, screen-reader tested, sufficient contrast
- A documented design system so new pages stay consistent without redesigning them
- Clean, machine-readable markup and structured data so the site is parsed correctly by crawlers and answer engines
Capabilities
What the work involves
The concrete engineering that makes up a web development engagement.
Design systems
A token-driven component library with typed props, documented variants and visual consistency enforced in code — so a new page is assembled rather than reinvented.
Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA
Semantic structure, correct heading order, full keyboard operability, visible focus, sensible ARIA only where native elements fall short, and testing with an actual screen reader.
Performance engineering
Budgets on JavaScript payload and Core Web Vitals, image and font optimisation, route-level code splitting, and regression checks in CI so a heavy dependency cannot slip in unnoticed.
Headless CMS and commerce
Sanity, Contentful, Payload or Storyblok wired to a preview workflow editors will actually use, plus commerce front ends on Shopify or Commerce Layer with fast, accessible checkout paths.
Edge rendering and delivery
Edge middleware for routing, personalisation and localisation, incremental static regeneration where content allows, and CDN caching rules tuned to how each page is actually used.
Deliverables
What lands in your repository
Everything we produce is yours, in your accounts, documented well enough for your own engineers to carry forward.
- A Next.js application in your repository, typed end to end and deployment-ready
- A documented component library with tokens, variants and usage guidance
- An accessibility report covering automated checks and manual keyboard and screen-reader testing
- Performance budgets with Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals checks wired into CI
- Structured data and clean semantic markup across templates
- Editor documentation for the CMS and a handover session for your team

Questions
Web Development, answered directly
Next.js lets each route choose its rendering strategy: static where content is stable, server-rendered where it is personalised, client-side only where interactivity demands it. That means less JavaScript shipped to the browser, faster first paint, and markup that is fully present in the HTML response for crawlers that do not execute scripts. A pure single-page application makes all three of those harder, and the cost compounds as the app grows.
Automated tooling catches perhaps a third of real issues, so we treat it as a baseline rather than a result. We build on semantic HTML, keep heading order intact, guarantee keyboard operability for every interactive element, and verify contrast against WCAG 2.2 AA. Before launch we test the key journeys with VoiceOver and NVDA and with the keyboard alone. You receive a written report listing what was tested and anything outstanding.
Usually four things: the amount of JavaScript executed before the page becomes interactive, unoptimised images and fonts in the critical path, layout shifts from unreserved space, and slow server response on the initial document. We set a payload budget at the start, measure on throttled mobile hardware rather than a developer laptop, and enforce the budget in CI so a single heavy dependency cannot quietly undo the work.
Yes. If you have a design system we build against it and flag gaps and accessibility risks as we go. If you have an established CMS we integrate with it rather than proposing a migration — the content model and editor workflow usually matter more than the vendor. When a platform genuinely limits performance or accessibility we will explain the specific constraint and the cost of the alternative, then leave the decision with you.
