Short answers to the questions we hear most often about Next.js development.
When should I choose Next.js over plain React (CRA, Vite)?
Next.js gives you server-side rendering, SEO out of the box, a full routing system, and a clear path to full-stack — all things plain React apps bolt on later. If your product needs fast initial loads, good SEO, or server-side data fetching, Next.js is almost always the right call today.
Can you migrate my existing app to Next.js?
Yes. We regularly migrate Create React App, Vite, Gatsby, and legacy frontend codebases to Next.js — and we handle incremental migrations from monoliths where the UI moves to Next.js while the backend stays. Every migration starts with an audit to scope risk and timeline.
App Router or Pages Router?
We default to the App Router for new projects — it's where Next.js is heading, and Server Components unlock real performance wins. For existing Pages Router apps, we help you plan a gradual migration only when it makes business sense, not just because it's new.
Do you deploy to Vercel, or can you self-host?
Both. Vercel is the fastest path and we have deep experience with their edge, ISR, and caching model. We also deploy Next.js on AWS, GCP, Fly.io, and self-hosted infra when compliance, cost, or team preference demands it.
How do you handle SEO and Core Web Vitals?
SEO is a first-class concern from day one — proper metadata, sitemaps, structured data, image optimization, and streaming rendering. We ship most projects with Lighthouse 90+ scores and monitor Core Web Vitals in production, not just in dev.
Do you use TypeScript by default?
Yes. All our Next.js projects are TypeScript-first, with strict mode enabled. It pays for itself many times over — fewer bugs, safer refactors, better DX.
What does a typical engagement look like?
It depends on scope. An MVP usually runs 4–8 weeks; a production rebuild or complex platform is typically 3–6 months. We also offer staff augmentation for existing teams, and retainers for ongoing product development.
Can you work with our existing design system or Figma?
Absolutely. We build on your design tokens and Figma libraries, or recommend shadcn/ui, Tailwind, or a custom component system when you're starting fresh.
