The note

Brief to launch

This site runs on Next.js. The same choices show up on client work: App Router, server data, and images that do not wait for a 2 MB PNG.

We pick Next.js when the product is a web app with routes, forms, and SEO that have to stay honest. We do not pick it because a slide said "modern stack."

What we keep on the server

Catalogs, metadata, and the first HTML. Client code is for Lenis, forms, and the bits that must move. If a page is a list of facts, it should not download a chart library to print three numbers.

Routes as files Each brief gets a URL that still works after a redesign.

Images as files you own AVIF or WebP at a width the layout uses. No placeholder host.

Forms with a real API Validation on both sides. A token on the POST. A length cap on the note.

What breaks teams

A design system that only lives in Figma. A CMS model nobody on the client team can edit. A hero video that blocks the first paint on a phone in Karachi traffic.

We ship the repo in your name. Preview URLs match how your team reviews copy. If a landing page is one-off every campaign, we stop and make a component they can reuse.

When we say no

If the job is a static brochure with five pages and no forms, a simpler host can be enough. We will say so on the call. The written next step after 48 hours is still a conversation, not a contract, until a statement of work is signed.
