Frequently asked

Common questions about our Next.js work.

Why Next.js for a Virginia business website?

Next.js is the React framework powering production workloads at TikTok, Notion, Twitch, Hulu, Nike, and the Washington Post. It renders pages on the server for fast first-paint and SEO, ships only the JavaScript a given page needs, handles routing and image optimization out of the box, and integrates cleanly with any database or third-party API. For a Virginia mid-market or institutional client, Next.js means: ranks well on Google, loads fast on rural broadband, runs on commodity hosting, and any senior web developer can maintain it — which matters more than which framework is trendy this quarter.

What versions and patterns of Next.js do you build on?

Next.js 16 with the App Router and React Server Components by default. We use static generation (SSG) for marketing pages and SSR for authenticated routes — the right rendering strategy per route, not a one-size-fits-all setting. TypeScript is enabled in strict mode on every project, all routes are typed, and every API boundary validates input. Older Pages Router projects are migrated to the App Router on engagement unless there's a specific reason not to.

What's the rest of your stack besides Next.js?

React 19 and TypeScript on the front end, Tailwind CSS v4 for styling, PostgreSQL (typically via Supabase) for the database with row-level security policies, Stripe for payments, Resend for transactional email, Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics for measurement, and Vitest + React Testing Library for the test suite. Every project is version-controlled in Git, deployed via CI on every push to main, and instrumented with structured logging. The whole stack is open-source and self-contained.

Do we have to host the site on Vercel?

No. Next.js runs on any Node.js-compatible host — Vercel, Netlify, Railway, AWS (via Amplify, App Runner, or a standalone Node service), Fly.io, DigitalOcean App Platform, or your own VPS. We default to Vercel because it pairs cleanly with Next.js and the free tier covers most of our marketing clients, but the codebase is not Vercel-specific. The Migration Package transfers the site to a host of your choice if you ever want to leave.

Can our in-house developers contribute to the codebase?

Yes. The repository is created in your GitHub or GitLab account from day one, and we routinely grant in-house teams collaborator access during the build so they can review pull requests, run the code locally, and contribute changes. Because the stack is mainstream (Next.js, React, TypeScript), any developer with React experience can read the codebase without a learning curve specific to us.

Will another Next.js shop be able to maintain this after handoff?

Yes — that is the point of using mainstream frameworks rather than bespoke architectures. We follow conventional Next.js App Router file structure, type everything strictly, document the non-obvious decisions, and avoid clever abstractions a future developer would have to reverse-engineer. A senior Next.js developer can be productive in the codebase within hours, not weeks. This is intentional and a stated deliverable, not an afterthought.

Is Next.js overkill for a small five-page marketing site?

No, and the alternative is usually worse. A small Next.js site statically generates the same five HTML pages a static site builder would, but with a typed component model, automatic image optimization, built-in performance budgets, and a path to add a contact form, a blog, or e-commerce later without rebuilding. The reasonable comparison isn't to a static HTML site — it's to WordPress or Squarespace, where 'small' sites accumulate plugin sprawl, performance debt, and maintenance fees over time. A Next.js Foothold build at $1,800 is a cleaner long-term position.

How does Next.js handle SEO and Core Web Vitals?

Server-rendered HTML means search engines see fully populated pages on first crawl, which is the single biggest SEO advantage over client-rendered React apps. The framework handles per-page metadata, OpenGraph cards, canonical URLs, JSON-LD structured data, and automatic image optimization out of the box. Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift — are reviewed at every milestone with Lighthouse, not just at the end of the build. Every Mosaic Ridge site ships with sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and a baseline of on-page SEO.
