What We See in Practice
Performance Issues That Cost Money
It’s no longer enough to have a good-looking website – it has to be fast. Every second a page takes to load means lost visitors. WordPress often relies on bloated themes, third-party plugins, and PHP rendering that slow everything down.
Security Becomes a Constant Battle
Plugins are both WordPress’ strength and Achilles' heel. Many are made by hobbyists, rarely updated, and can be open doors for attacks. Several clients have contacted us after their site got infected via a plugin they barely knew they had.
Limited Control and Code Quality
Building something truly custom in WordPress often means struggling with outdated themes, messy shortcodes, and jQuery. It quickly becomes chaotic – both technically and visually.
How Next.js and React Change the Game
Modern Sites Built for Performance
Next.js uses server-side rendering, static generation, and smart caching to deliver lightning-fast experiences. It shows in Google Pagespeed – and in how long users stay.
Real Flexibility
React is component-based, making it easy to reuse logic, design, and functionality. This means faster development, easier maintenance, and better future-proofing.
No CMS Lock-in – Choose Freely
With Next.js, you can connect any headless CMS you want – like Sanity, Strapi, or Contentful. That means you're not stuck with an outdated backend. Editors get a cleaner, more focused experience.
Stronger SEO
Next.js gives you full control over metadata, sitemaps, structured data, and renders pages fast and correctly. Search engines love it – and it has a noticeable effect on your rankings.
Common Client Questions
“How easy is it to edit content?”
Very easy. We always build a user-friendly interface with a CMS that suits you – usually Strapi – so editors get a clean, fast, and intuitive experience.
“Isn’t it more expensive to build in React?”
Initially yes – but it pays off in the long run. You get fewer bugs, lower maintenance costs, and better performance. It's like investing in a high-quality tool instead of a cheap disposable one.
“What happens to my old blog posts?”
We make sure all content, including images, metadata, and categories, is transferred correctly without negatively impacting SEO.
