Web design and development

React and Next.js development for UK businesses

React and Next.js suit websites that need to work like software, with bookings, portals, configurators, marketplaces and complex rules. All six of our published case studies are built on Next.js.

When React and Next.js are the right choice

  • Your website has logic of its own, not only pages
  • You have outgrown plugins or page builders
  • You want to own your platform instead of renting software
  • Speed matters, along with pages that search engines can read

What we build

  • Business platforms. Starstruck runs enrolment, billing, registers and communications from one system.
  • Marketplaces. In a Pickle connects motorists with vetted operators, with live tracking and held payments.
  • Product configurators. Plate Studio draws each number plate to scale in the browser as the customer designs it.
  • Mobile apps. React Native mobile apps are available when your business needs one.

When it isn't the right choice

If you mainly want to edit pages and posts yourself, WordPress is usually simpler. We build both, and we'll recommend what's right for your business.

See it in practice

  • Starstruck Performing Arts: A bespoke platform that takes a family from first enquiry to the class register, replacing around £5,000 a year in third-party charges.
  • In a Pickle: A three-sided breakdown marketplace built from a founder's idea, with live tracking, held payments and supplier payouts.
  • Plate Studio: A live number plate builder, online shop and identity document workflow for a DVLA registered supplier, running as one platform.

How it works

We start with a free consultation about your business and what the site needs to do. You then get a fixed price and timeline before any work starts, approve the design before we build it, and own your domain, content and data.
