Why work with me
The stack the big players use. At a price that isn't.
Next.js powers some of the fastest, most visited sites on the internet. Most businesses have never heard of it, and most web developers don't build with it. You're getting enterprise-grade technology at a fraction of what agencies charge.
Companies running Next.js right now
Why aren't more developers using it? Because it has a learning curve. Next.js requires knowing React, TypeScript, server components, edge functions, and modern deployment pipelines. Most freelancers and small agencies never invest in learning it, so they keep shipping WordPress and GoDaddy sites. You benefit from the gap.
Performance & Revenue
Your slow website is losing you money right now.
Most business owners think a slow website is just an inconvenience. It isn't. Every extra second your site takes to load is directly measurable in lost customers, lost rankings, and lost revenue. Here's what the data shows.
of mobile visitors leave
if your page takes more than 3 seconds to load. Most GoDaddy and Wix sites do.
conversion drop per second
Every extra second of load time costs you 7% of the customers who were ready to buy.
won't come back
Of visitors who have a poor performance experience, 79% say they won't return to that site.
revenue lost per 100ms
Amazon's own data: every 100 milliseconds of additional load time reduced their revenue by 1%.
What this means for a real business
Say your site gets 1,000 visitors a month and 3% convert into leads. That's 30 leads. If your site is slow and you're losing 53% of mobile visitors before the page even loads, you're potentially seeing only half that traffic engage. Speed it up, and those numbers move. A site that loads in under a second on mobile isn't a luxury. It's the difference between a visitor and a customer.
Why GoDaddy, Wix & WordPress are slow and stay slow.
It's not bad luck. Page builders are architecturally slow by design. Here's what's happening under the hood every time someone visits your site.
Uncompressed images
GoDaddy and Wix serve the same full-size image to every device. A 4MB photo on a phone with a 4G connection takes several seconds to load, and the builder doesn't convert it to WebP or resize it for the screen.
Massive JavaScript bundles
Page builders load 2–5MB of JavaScript just to display a simple page. Every plugin, widget, and theme feature ships to every visitor, even the ones they'll never see or use.
No edge network
GoDaddy hosts your site on a single shared server. A visitor in Vancouver and a visitor in London are both connecting to the same machine. Vercel's edge network serves Next.js sites from 100+ locations worldwide, so the nearest server wins.
Shared server resources
On shared hosting, your site competes for CPU and memory with hundreds of other sites on the same machine. When traffic spikes anywhere on that server, your site slows down for reasons completely outside your control.
How Next.js solves every one of these.
Next.js wasn't built to make things slightly faster. It was built from the ground up around the idea that performance is non-negotiable.
Static generation
Pages are pre-built at deploy time. When a visitor arrives, the HTML is already sitting ready on the edge. No database query, no server processing. First byte arrives in milliseconds, not seconds.
Automatic image optimization
Every image is automatically converted to WebP, resized to exactly what the screen needs, and lazy-loaded unless it's above the fold. The 7MB hero photo becomes 120KB. The page feels instant.
Code splitting
Only the code for the page you're on gets loaded. Navigate to another page and only that page's code loads. Visitors never download code for features they never visit.
Global edge deployment
Vercel's network has over 100 edge locations worldwide. Every visitor is served from the closest point, typically under 30ms away. No shared hosting, no single server bottleneck.

SEO
Built to rank from day one.
SEO isn't an add-on. Every site comes with structured data, proper meta tags, a generated sitemap, and server-rendered HTML that search engines can actually read. Included at every tier.
Google can read every word
Page builders and many CMS platforms render content in the browser via JavaScript, and Google's crawler sometimes misses it entirely. Next.js pre-renders server-side, so every heading, paragraph, and product description lands in the HTML exactly as Google expects.
Speed is a ranking factor
Google's Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) have directly influenced search rankings since 2021. A slow site doesn't just lose visitors, it gets pushed down the results page. A fast Next.js site checks every Core Web Vital by default.
Structured data built in
Schema.org JSON-LD, OpenGraph, Twitter Cards, canonical URLs, and sitemap.xml are all included and automatically generated. These tell Google exactly what your business is, unlocking rich snippets and better click-through rates in search results.
No duplicate content issues
Proper canonical tags on every page. Correct robots directives. A generated sitemap that updates on every deploy. The technical SEO foundation that agencies charge thousands extra to bolt on after the fact.
Pricing
Fractions of agency cost. None of the compromise.
A digital agency building the same Next.js site will quote you $15,000–$50,000+, then hand it to a junior developer. Here's what you actually get for each option.
