Next.js Agency UK — British Startups

UK Next.js agencies typically charge £55–£117 per hour, or £5,000–£50,000 for fixed-price projects depending on scope. We use fixed GBP pricing with milestone-based payments, so you know exactly what you're spending before work begins. No hourly billing, no currency conversion, no surprises. Your quote arrives within 48 hours of the discovery call.

Next.js is a framework — GDPR compliance depends entirely on how you build on top of it. We use Supabase with EU-hosted PostgreSQL, server-side rendering to keep sensitive data off the client, and Vercel edge functions pointed at European regions. Data flows get mapped during discovery and documented for ICO audits before development starts.

Next.js gives you server-side rendering, static generation, and API routes in one framework. WordPress needs plugins for all of it and routinely produces poor Core Web Vitals scores. Our clients typically see 70% faster page loads, 95+ Lighthouse scores, and significantly lower hosting costs on Vercel compared to managed WordPress hosting in the UK.

Yes. We work with startups across the UK — Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh, Birmingham, and fully remote teams. Everything runs through GitHub, Vercel preview deployments, and structured async communication. Your location doesn't affect the timeline or the price. Most of our UK clients already work as distributed teams anyway.

Headless Next.js separates your frontend — the Next.js App Router — from your content backend, whether that's Sanity, Payload, or Contentful. Your marketing team edits content in the CMS, the frontend pulls it via API, and pages render with SSR or ISR. You get faster performance, better SEO, and the ability to publish across web, mobile, and other channels from a single source.

A typical startup MVP runs 6–9 weeks from discovery to production deployment. Marketing sites with a headless CMS ship in 4–6 weeks. Complex SaaS platforms with authentication, dashboards, and integrations take 10–14 weeks. We include a fixed timeline in your GBP quote and hold to it with weekly sprint reviews.
