Next.js Development For Sites That Stay Fast
I build marketing sites, SaaS frontends, and content-driven applications with Next.js — App Router, Server Components, CMS integration, SEO, and deployment — handled by one developer, Hammad Khan.
The aim is a site that is fast on first load, easy for your team to extend, and does not need a rewrite every major Next.js release.
I will also tell you when Next.js is wrong. A five-page brochure for a non-technical owner usually belongs on WordPress — and I will say so on the first call.
Framework defaults over clever abstractions. Small dependency footprint. Bundle watched before launch.

Who This Is For
SaaS frontends, slow marketing rebuilds, SEO-focused Next.js fixes, existing codebase work, and agencies needing a build partner.
- Startups / SaaS needing a frontend
- Replacing a slow marketing site
- Next.js SEO done properly
- Existing Next.js takeover / features
- Agency white-label Next.js builds
- Not a fit: small brochure better on WP
- Not a fit: no API or data source
- See Next.js vs WordPress on the blog
Typical Timeline
Design readiness, documented APIs, and review speed move these most. Undefined APIs are the top cause of slipped dates.
| Project type | Typical timeline |
|---|---|
| Marketing site (5–12 pages, CMS) | 3–6 weeks |
| SaaS frontend (MVP) | 6–12 weeks |
| Migration from existing site | 4–8 weeks |
| Features on existing codebase | 1–3 weeks |
| Performance or SEO remediation | 1–2 weeks |
Soft Pricing Estimates (USD)
Estimates in USD from written scope. 50% up front, 50% before launch. Open-ended roadmaps fit hourly/weekly better than padded fixed quotes.
| Scope | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Next.js marketing site | $3,000–$8,000 |
| SaaS frontend / application | $8,000–$15,000+ |
| Migration or performance remediation | $2,500–$7,000 |

How I Work
Framework defaults, small deps, watched bundles, accessibility in the build, portable code, and straight stack answers.
- Work with Next.js — not against it
- Minimal dependency footprint
- Bundle checked before launch
- A11y as part of build, not retrofit
- Clear structure you can hand off
- Honest when WordPress is cheaper
Frequently Asked Questions
App vs Pages Router, ranking, hosting off Vercel, editor workflows, taking over projects, and working with your eng team.
App Router or Pages Router for a new project?
App Router. New capabilities land there. I will work in existing Pages Router codebases, but starting new there in 2026 means planning an unnecessary migration.
Can a Next.js site rank as well as WordPress?
Yes — often better when rendering and performance are controlled. Ranking problems usually come from client-only rendering, bad metadata, or dropped redirects.
Do I have to host on Vercel?
No. Vercel is smoothest and my default, but Next.js runs on Netlify, AWS, Cloudflare, and any Node host. I flag feature tradeoffs before you decide.
Can marketing edit without a developer?
Yes — with a headless CMS, live preview, and on-demand revalidation. Without that, every copy change becomes a pull request.
Can you take over an existing Next.js project?
Yes. Short audit first: architecture, rendering, bundle, deps, top performance issues — then a prioritized plan.
