Next.js development
You need a front end that loads fast and that search engines can read, often on a backend you already have. Next.js is the front end on most of our current platform builds, from a UK telecom billing system to rental management in Qatar and Dubai, and it runs the lead-generation sites we look after in Australia. This website is built on Next.js 16.4 as well.
Four kinds of work, each taken from projects we have delivered.
Front ends for business systems
Screens for office staff, customers and dealers on top of an API. The heavy-equipment platform in Qatar gives rental staff availability, contracts and invoicing in Next.js, with Laravel and MySQL behind it.
Replacing an old interface
For a cabinet manufacturer, a Next.js application replaced the PHP 5.6 front end while its ordering, dealer-portal and inventory workflows were checked against the old system in parallel.
Lead-generation websites
Xavis Cleaning and Warlimagu are Next.js sites built to capture enquiries, with export and email, Google Business Profile, GA4 and Search Console in place, followed by ongoing local SEO.
Product sites with headless content
Shabash pairs a Next.js site with headless WordPress for content and a programmatic salon directory, so marketing can publish without a code release.
What the current release means if you are starting a project or running an older one.
New work starts on Next.js 16
Released in October 2025 and on 16.4 since 6 October 2026. Turbopack is the default bundler, and caching through Cache Components is opt-in rather than implicit.
Upgrades from 15 or earlier need real changes
Version 16 requires Node.js 20.9 or newer and TypeScript 5.1 or newer, makes params, cookies() and headers() asynchronous, removes AMP, and replaces middleware.ts with proxy.ts, which runs on Node.js.
Security releases are now a routine job
Next.js moved to a formal security release process in July 2026 and published several updates this autumn, with another scheduled for 3 November 2026. Whoever owns the app has to plan to apply them.
The order matters most on projects where the front end and the API are built side by side.
Marketing pages, logged-in dashboards and data-heavy reports need different treatment. We settle what is static, what is cached and what renders per request before building screens.
Where Next.js sits on a separate back end, as it does on our Laravel projects, the contract is agreed early so the two sides can be built at the same time.
On most projects you review real pages every week rather than design files, and hand-over documentation is written along the way, not at the end.
On public sites, Analytics, Search Console and enquiry capture are configured for launch, so you can see what the site produces from day one.
Pick by how clearly the work can be defined up front.
A marketing or lead-generation site suits a fixed scope. A platform front end usually runs longer: the UK telecom billing work has lasted two and a half years and continues, while the garage-booking SaaS took about a year across API, web and mobile.
If you already have engineers, we can add Next.js developers to your team through our dedicated developer model. Hourly work is from $20/h in USD, invoiced in USD, GBP, EUR or INR. We are an engineering team in India with 3–5 hours of overlap with the UK and Europe; US calls by appointment.
