Your deploy ships at 9am GMT, not 5pm California time. We build server-rendered Next.js applications for British startups using App Router, Supabase backend services, and Vercel edge deployment. Every project launches with GDPR architecture baked in from commit one — not bolted on three weeks before go-live when your legal team finally reads the spec. Fixed pound-sterling pricing means your runway doesn't evaporate mid-sprint through currency swings or scope creep. Whether your team sits in a Shoreditch co-working space or a converted Edinburgh warehouse, you get real-time feedback loops, not eight-hour delays that turn two-day fixes into two-week sagas. The stack stays lean: TypeScript throughout, row-level security in Supabase, ISR cutting server costs by half, and structured data wired into every route before launch day.

Perguntas frequentes
How much does a Next.js agency charge in the UK?
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.
Is Next.js GDPR compliant for UK startups?
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.
Why choose Next.js over WordPress for a UK startup?
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.
Do you work with startups outside London?
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.
What is headless Next.js development?
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.
How long does it take to build a Next.js app for a UK startup?
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.
