Next.js vs WordPress: Why We Stopped Building WordPress Sites
We used to build WordPress sites. Now we build with Next.js. Here's why we switched and what it means for performance, SEO, and your business.
Loading...
Whether you need a fully custom Next.js build or a polished Webflow site, we build websites that load fast, rank well, and turn visitors into customers. No template sites with your logo slapped on.
Performance
Lighthouse Score
You know something needs to change. Here's what we usually find.
Your current site takes 4+ seconds to load. You're losing visitors before they see your content. Google notices too - and ranks you accordingly.
You paid an agency for a "custom" website and got a tweaked template. It looks like every other site in your industry. Nothing differentiates you.
Every text change requires a developer or an email to your agency. Your site is months out of date because updating it is a pain.
Looks nice, but PageSpeed score is in the 40s. No structured data, no proper meta tags, no conversion tracking. Pretty but useless for growth.
Two options depending on your needs, timeline, and budget. Both built properly.
Custom High-Performance Websites
For businesses that need maximum performance, complete design freedom, and a site that's genuinely built from scratch.
Investment
Starting from £8,000
Professional Managed Websites
For businesses that need a professional, polished website without the timeline or investment of a fully custom build. Not "budget" - just different needs.

Starting from £3,500

Let's Discuss Your ProjectIt's not about looking pretty - it's about commercial outcomes.
Every second of load time costs you conversions. A 1-second delay can reduce conversions by 7%. Our sites load in under 1 second.
Proper semantic HTML, structured data, meta tags, sitemaps, and Core Web Vitals built into the foundations - not bolted on as an afterthought.
Whether it's Sanity or Webflow's CMS, you can update your own content without emailing a developer. Real content independence.
Clear CTAs, fast load times, mobile-first design, and proper analytics tracking. Your website should be your best salesperson.
