Let's talk Next.jsWhat's Next.js all about?
With a user-focused and data-oriented approach, we take projects from conception to completion using Next.js to power both frontend experiences & backend data-sourcing and functionality.
Next is a React-based framework for the development of modern websites and applications. Next is largely viewed as a frontend framework, but it’s actually full stack—meaning that it’s capable of servicing both the frontend and backend of web applications.
Next provides a significant toolset above React, which often makes it desirable above barebones React for developing feature-rich websites and applications, particularly those that require server side rendering.
Next is commonly used to develop websites and web apps, and the framework provides a full-fledged toolset to do so. Next includes a server layer, which allows applications to source and transform data prior to rendering a page, which is a key component to modern websites and apps. This capability allows developers to utilize Javascript as a frontend programming language whilst creating SEO-optimized and search-engine ready web pages that are also capable of dynamic content and user-oriented data.
Next.js is a React-based framework. That is, Next is built on React. React itself is a Javascript library which caters to the rapid development of web applications. By harnessing the power and ingenuity of React, Next is able to deliver a powerful developer experience and all-in-one framework for the development of high-performance frontends with server-side-rendering capabilities.
Next.js is commonly referred to as a frontend Javascript framework. However, Next is actually full-stack framework capable of powering both the frontend and backend of a web application, due to its server-side capabilities.
Next is a powerful tool for the development of dynamic websites and web applications. Next brings a more modern foundation to websites, and caters to the rapid development of web applications requiring server side rendering.

We create value by leveraging the technical capabilities of Next.js
With a user-focused and data-oriented approach, we take projects from conception to completion using Next.js to power both frontend experiences & backend data-sourcing and functionality.
Platform Agnosticism
Next.js knows no boundaries as far as platforms or devices are concerned. Applications built with Next.js are fully device-agnostic, omni-platform, and capable of being deployed anywhere that is able to run Node.
Rapid Development
Next's component-based approach fosters a high-level of reusability within a codebase, which is directly responsible for reduced time-to-market and a faster rate of development. In addition, the wide availability of plugins and node modules available allow for bootstrapping of a huge spectrum of common functionalities.
Highly Performant
Next.js is known for its ability to deliver pages at incredible speed whilst consuming only minimal resources. Together, these factors cater to powerful, high-performance web apps that are capable of dynamic rendering.
Utilizing Next.js to build powerful websites & web apps
By applying a hybrid approach to data-sourcing, rendering and routing, we develop fullstack applications with Next.js that are high-performance and feature-rich.
User Experience Flexibility
Next is fairly unopinionated, and as such provides complete freedom and flexibility in the development of complex, nuanced user experiences. This affords our Next.js developers the flexibility to create unique experiences that portray your brand's story effectively, and in a way that speaks to your audience.
Serverless Functions
Next provides the ability to create and run serverless functions out-the-box, allowing a web application to run requests and provide responses without the requirement for a traditional server. Next's server layer is inherently secure, obscuring endpoints, requests, and direct API responses from end-users where necessary.
Performant by Design
We favor Next.js for its strengths in performance and website/application optimization. Next's hybrid rendering methods, developer tooling, and code structure provide the perfect foundation for building well-optimized frontends and serverless function execution. Given its architecture, Next makes it easy to build websites & web applications that are both fast and easy to maintain.
Hybrid Rendering. Hyrbrid Routing.
Next provides numerous rendering methods that can be deployed in parallel, allowing web apps to take advantage of both cached and real-time data. Next's rendering modes include static site generation, incremental static generation, and server-side rendering. Hybrid routing is also a feature of Next: allow privileged access to private, authenticated routes, and unrestricted access to public routes.
Reduced time-to-market
Next.js as a framework offers a variety of ways to bootstrap the development of websites and web apps, due to the high availability of ready-made design systems, plugins, npm modules, and other libraries available. Next applications are able to utilize a huge resource of additional plugins to encourage faster pace of development and higher levels of reusability.
Rich in Tooling
We leverage Next's out-the-box tooling to build web apps that are highly performance, utilize caching effectively, and are simultaneously able to provide dynamic, contextual experiences for end users. Next's frontend tooling includes hybrid rendering methods, strong error handling, partial hydration, image and SEO optimziation components, and more.
Improved DX
Next boasts a great developer experience (DX), and one that is substantially improved upon legacy website or web application frameworks. With better DX comes faster, more reliable builds and an increased opportunity for further development of the application with better spend on resources.
A deeper dive on Next.js
- Next & SEO
- Security
How we use Next to build frontends that ace SEO
Websites & applications built with Next.js are SEO-ready out-the-box given the framework's hybrid approach to rendering. Both Static Site Generation (SSG) and Sever Side Rendering (SSR) cater to SEO friendliness and render pages that are fully search-engine ready.
Next's hybrid approach to rendering empowers modern web applications to boast SEO-friendliness without the headaches of implementing additional layers on-top of the Next application itself. With SSG (static site generation), pages are made SEO-ready without any additional implementation. In addition, Next's SSR (server-side rendering) techniques produce search-engine-ready pages for pages that are subject to frequent change (otherwise known as dynamic pages). Regardless of the rendering method, with Next it's a win-win for SEO!
How Next.js makes frontend requests more secure
Next's server-side layer enables the concealment of sensitive backend functions and API requests from end-users, improving security of the frontend application. In addition, Next.js caters to client-side routing, which allows applications to provide sensitive data only to those who need it.
Next.js offers a higher level of security when compared to alternatives through use of server-side rendering, which provides the ability to conceal backend functions and APIs, as well as additional integrated functionality such as security headers and support for content security policies. Through its support for both server-side and client-side routing, Next allows applications to conceal sensitive data whilst allowing appropriate access levels to public pages and information.
