Your Next.js Agency Works While You Sleep (Same Timezone, Fixed GBP)

If you're a British founder tired of explaining GDPR to a US agency at midnight, you've found your build partner.

Server-side rendered, GDPR-compliant web apps built on Next.js, Supabase, and Vercel. Fixed GBP pricing. London to Edinburgh.

Next.js Agency UK

A Next.js agency specialising in SSR-first web applications built on Supabase and deployed to Vercel, serving clients from London to Edinburgh. We write production code under fixed GBP contracts with no offshore handoffs or timezone delays. Every project is scoped, built, and maintained by the same senior engineers you spoke with on day one.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Your US or offshore agency invoices in dollars, so every exchange rate swing turns a fixed-price project into a moving target.
Risk: Budget overruns appear at the worst moment — post-launch — with no contractual protection because the currency risk was always yours.
You are explaining GDPR data residency requirements to engineers who have never dealt with UK or EU regulation and do not treat it as a first-class concern.
Risk: A single misconfigured data transfer or missing lawful basis record can trigger an ICO investigation and erode customer trust before your product gains traction.
Stand-ups happen at 4 pm your time because the team is nine hours behind, so feedback loops stretch from hours into days and sprint reviews become asynchronous guesswork.
Risk: Slow iteration cycles mean competitors ship features while you wait for morning replies, and critical bugs stay live longer than they should.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

GDPR-Compliant Data Architecture

We design Supabase schemas and API routes with UK GDPR obligations in mind from the first migration — including lawful basis mapping, data minimisation, and documented retention policies — so compliance is structural rather than bolted on.

UK Data Residency by Default

Vercel edge functions and Supabase project regions are configured to keep data processing within the UK or EEA unless you explicitly require otherwise, removing ambiguity from your privacy notices and DPA schedules.

Fixed GBP Contracts with Clear Scope

Every engagement is priced in pounds sterling with a written statement of work covering deliverables, acceptance criteria, and change-request terms, giving your finance team a single predictable number to approve.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Server-Side Rendering and Static Generation

We choose between SSR, SSG, and ISR on a per-route basis based on your actual traffic patterns and data freshness requirements, rather than applying a single rendering strategy across the whole application.

Supabase Backend with Row-Level Security

Authentication, Postgres database, storage, and realtime subscriptions are configured through Supabase with row-level security policies that enforce access control at the database layer, not just in application code.

Vercel Deployment with Branch Previews

Every pull request gets an isolated preview URL so your team can review changes in a production-equivalent environment before merging, cutting the feedback cycle between design, engineering, and stakeholders.

Timezone-Aligned Engineering Team

All senior engineers work GMT or GMT+1, attend your stand-ups without schedule contortions, and can turn around a critical fix within the same working day rather than asking you to wait until the next morning.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Discovery and Scope Definition

1 week

We run structured discovery calls to map your user journeys, data model, third-party integrations, and compliance requirements. The output is a written statement of work with fixed deliverables and a GBP price — not a time-and-materials estimate.

02

Architecture and Data Modelling

1 week

Before writing application code we define the Supabase schema, RLS policies, API surface, and rendering strategy for each route. This prevents costly structural changes mid-sprint and gives you a reviewable technical spec.

03

Iterative Build with Weekly Reviews

2-6 weeks

Development runs in one-week cycles with a working preview URL at the end of each. You test against real data in a staging environment and raise change requests through a tracked process rather than email threads.

04

Launch, Handover, and Retained Support

1 week

We handle production deployment to Vercel, DNS cutover, and post-launch monitoring. You receive full codebase access, documented runbooks, and the option to continue on a retained support arrangement billed monthly in GBP.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
