Corporate/financial services web project from Netherlands
Client's challenge
01
Legacy Architecture Holding Back Performance
An aging legacy system architecture, built on an outdated Next.js foundation, was creating compounding performance bottlenecks — slowing page load times, weakening Core Web Vitals scores, and undermining overall site performance across the entire platform.
02
Wasting Next.js Potential: Common Frontend Pitfalls
Inefficient use of modern frontend tools, like Next.js, led to bloated bundles, slow builds, and poor runtime performance. This happened even with the framework’s built-in optimisations.
03
SEO inconsistencies and sitemap problems
The inefficient use of modern frontend tools like Next.js caused bloated bundles, slow builds, and poor runtime performance, overriding the framework's built-in optimisations.
This led to over-reliance on client-side rendering, excessive dependencies, and misconfigured rendering strategies, which damaged SEO, increased latency, and degraded user experience at scale.
04
Accessibility and GDPR compliance needing refinement
Accessibility and GDPR compliance required further refinement to ensure the website met modern standards for user experience, data protection, and regulatory consistency. In the context of the Next.js website audit, these gaps were documented with specific recommendations covering consent management, data handling practices, and accessible UI components.

How we work
Governed and Scalable, by Design
We design content models, editorial workflows, and governance into the architecture from day one to make you CMS clean and usable as your team, markets, and channels grow.
Editorial UX boosts your marketing team's speed and freedom. They can build pages, launch campaigns, and manage content without needing developer help.
Performance & AI SEO by Default
Each project includes a complete SEO + LLM optimization. Performance baseline as standard: Core Web Vitals, structured data, rendering strategy, and AI SEO setup.
Scalable Next.js architecture derived from 7+ years of experience.
Already live? Our Next.js SEO audit gives you an actionable, dev-ready assessment of where you stand.
Predictable & Efficient Delivery
90% of our projects fit the initial budget. That comes from the time we invest upfront — understanding exactly what we're building before a single line of code is written.
Our CMS Kit has page builders, navigation, localization, content models, and SEO settings. It boosts every engagement. Plus, it won’t limit your choices. It's a smart starter refined across dozens of production deployments, not a constraint.
