Web development

React and Next.js applications that hold up in production

Server-rendered web applications and marketing sites built on Next.js and React — typed end to end, indexable by default, and deployed through a pipeline that will not let a broken build reach users.

Discuss this project Two-week discovery and build for a focused site; six weeks and up for an application.

What you get

  • Next.js App Router application in TypeScript strict mode
  • Server-rendered or statically generated routes — indexable without executing JavaScript
  • Design system in Tailwind tokens, not hard-coded values
  • Typed API layer with zod validation on both sides of every boundary
  • GitHub Actions pipeline: lint, typecheck, test, build, Lighthouse budget, deploy
  • Handover documentation and a runnable local environment

Stack options

Chosen per project against your constraints. No single engagement uses all of these.

The stack is chosen per project, not per fashion

The portfolio on this site runs on Next.js, Astro, WordPress, a Vite SPA, hand-written PHP and plain static HTML — because those were the right answers for those clients. An ashram that cannot pay for maintenance gets static HTML that will still work in 2035. A publisher that needs stories crawlable in seconds gets server rendering. The stack follows the constraint.

Indexable by default, not as a later fix

Anything that should rank is server-rendered or statically generated. Structured data is emitted as part of the page, not bolted on through a plugin. One h1 per page, a real heading hierarchy, canonical URLs, a generated sitemap. This is cheaper to do on day one than to retrofit in month six, and the difference shows up in how quickly a new site starts getting crawled.

The pipeline is part of the deliverable

You get a GitHub Actions workflow that runs lint, typecheck, unit tests, a production build, a dependency audit and a Lighthouse performance budget on every push, with preview deployments per branch. If a change would regress Core Web Vitals below the agreed budget, the build fails before anyone sees it.

FAQ

Questions about web development

  • Do you work with an existing codebase or only greenfield projects?

    Both. Several projects in the portfolio were built around constraints that already existed — an editorial team that would not leave WordPress, a hosting account that was already paid for. Taking over an existing codebase starts with a short audit so we both know what we are dealing with before any code changes.

  • How long does a typical web application take?

    A focused marketing or consultation site is usually two to four weeks. A full application with authentication, a database and an admin surface is typically six to twelve weeks, delivered in working increments rather than as one launch date.

  • Who owns the code?

    You do, from the first commit. Work happens in your repository or is transferred to it at handover, along with environment documentation and a runnable local setup.
