Building a New Website or Application
For teams building a Next.js website, web application, headless CMS front end, or product platform from scratch, often inside wider digital transformation work.
Services
For new Next.js websites and applications, migrations, launch recovery, performance problems, and live‑stack issues where senior technical direction would save weeks of drift.
Most of my enquiries start in one of four places: building a new Next.js website or application, planning a move to Next.js, recovering from a launch or migration that hurt visibility or stability, or untangling a live platform problem where web performance optimisation, release stability, or CMS behaviour is slowing delivery.
For teams building a Next.js website, web application, headless CMS front end, or product platform from scratch, often inside wider digital transformation work.
For teams replacing a React SPA, Gatsby build, CMS front end, or older Next.js architecture without putting routes, content, or search visibility at risk.
For teams recovering from a launch, redesign, or migration that damaged traffic, crawlability, indexing, or technical SEO stability.
For Next.js performance regressions, cache bugs, build failures, headless CMS issues, hydration errors, and Vercel debugging.
Build a new Next.js website, web application, headless CMS front end, or product platform inside wider digital transformation work, with SEO, performance, accessibility, and maintainability designed in from the start.
New builds and digital transformation programmes are where the expensive decisions are made early: routing, content modelling, data boundaries, accessibility, performance budgets, deployment, and how the platform will be maintained after launch.
Plan a Next.js migration from React, WordPress, Gatsby, Drupal, Shopify, or another legacy front end without putting routes, content, or search visibility at risk.
If the first question is how to move a legacy platform or older front end to Next.js safely, start with the architecture, route, content, and release decisions that decide whether the move holds up.
Clarify Next.js platform architecture when tenancy, shared systems, App Router behaviour, or team boundaries are slowing delivery down.
When the technical risk sits in platform shape rather than one defect, the issue is usually shared brands, tenant boundaries, or App Router behaviour that has become too complex to operate safely.
A focused review of affected routes, templates, deployment behaviour, crawl signals, CMS behaviour, performance bottlenecks, or code paths, followed by a prioritised fix plan the team can take into delivery.
A short, concentrated engagement for a defined technical SEO, performance, CMS, Vercel, migration, or production issue where the business needs the cause isolated and the first fixes moved quickly.
Senior hands‑on support inside an existing team where architecture, implementation, review, and delivery judgement all matter, especially when the work cannot be handed over as isolated tickets.
Ongoing senior technical cover for architecture, roadmap, supplier review, delivery risk, hiring shape, and platform‑ownership decisions when the team is not ready to hire permanently.
Senior Next.js architecture work for legacy platforms, difficult migrations, and live stacks that need clearer delivery direction before more work piles on.
An older front end can become hard to maintain in a way that no longer fits one ticket queue. Architecture, project structure, migration planning, and live‑stack recovery all need to be thought through together.
Engineering‑led SEO work for JavaScript sites where rendering, crawlability, metadata, or migration changes are keeping important pages out of search.
This is for React and Next.js sites where Google is crawling pages but not indexing them, rendered HTML is too thin, or metadata and crawl signals no longer match what search engines need.
Headless CMS architecture advice for decisions around preview trust, SEO controls, revalidation, and editorial workflow before they become operational pain.
This sits above day‑to‑day CMS troubleshooting and focuses on the decisions that shape editorial speed, preview trust, metadata control, cache behaviour, and delivery complexity later.
Senior technical judgement for teams that need CTO‑style direction, architecture clarity, delivery‑risk reduction, and platform ownership support before hiring permanently.
Some organisations need senior technical leadership before they are ready to hire a permanent CTO, Head of Engineering, or Principal Engineer.
Principal‑level engineering support when architecture, delivery quality, and technical judgement need strengthening inside the work, not just from the sidelines.
Some situations need more than advice. They need senior technical judgement embedded in delivery before platform risk, design drift, or weak decision‑making compounds.

I still take on focused accessibility and usability review work when a team needs practical fixes rather than a compliance‑only report. That usually means looking at templates, components, copy, forms, keyboard behaviour, and the real journeys people rely on.
This often sits alongside technical SEO and performance work, because inaccessible interfaces, weak semantics, and slow journeys tend to show up together.

Codebase audits are useful when a product still works, but the team is paying too much for every change. I review structure, repeated patterns, avoidable complexity, rendering cost, and the places where delivery risk is being hidden inside everyday implementation choices.
The output is not a theoretical rewrite plan. It is a practical view of what to simplify, what to leave alone, and where optimisation would make the biggest difference to release confidence.

Some work needs senior follow‑through after the first fix has landed. I can stay close to a platform after a launch, migration, recovery project, or concentrated debugging engagement so the team is not left carrying unresolved edge cases alone.
That might mean release support, technical triage, implementation review, small improvements, or helping your team turn a one‑off fix into a maintainable operating pattern.

This is no longer generic hosting‑plan work. The useful work sits in the platform behaviour that decides whether a modern site can be released and operated confidently, especially on Vercel, Next.js hosting, and headless CMS stacks.
I work through build failures, environment configuration, DNS and deployment questions, cache and revalidation behaviour, observability, and the decisions that sit between application code and production infrastructure.

I still write technical documentation when the work needs someone who understands both the implementation and the reader. That can mean architecture notes, migration decisions, handover material, runbooks, or public‑facing technical content.
Good documentation should reduce repeated explanation, improve onboarding, and make the next technical decision easier to defend.

I also work as a senior technical partner for founders, agencies, and product teams who need experienced judgement without turning every decision into a large delivery engagement.
This is useful when you need someone to pressure‑test architecture, de‑risk a proposal, support a pitch, review a delivery plan, or stay close enough to help the technical direction hold together. If that becomes an ongoing leadership gap, fractional technical leadership is the stronger named service.
