A fast React front-end, on top of whatever you already run

Next.js front-ends built against your API, your CMS or your commerce platform. Server components, edge rendering and Core Web Vitals in the green from the first deploy. WordPress is one option for the back end, not a requirement.

What you get

Inside Next.js Front-End Development

Get in touch

  1. Architecture that fits the data

    Static, server-rendered or streamed per route, chosen by how often the content changes and who needs to see it first.

  2. Design system in code

    Components built once with accessible defaults, typed props and documented variants, so the fifth page is faster to build than the first.

  3. Any back end

    Headless WordPress, Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, Shopify, a Laravel API or a spreadsheet someone insists on. We have connected to all of them.

  4. Performance as a build step

    Bundle budgets, image and font optimisation and third-party script policy enforced in CI rather than fixed after launch.

  5. Deployment you own

    Vercel, Cloudflare or your own infrastructure, with previews per branch and a rollback that takes one click.

The service

Where a Next.js front-end earns its place

Not every site needs one. These are the cases where it does.

Content sites that outgrew the theme

Editors keep their CMS, visitors get a front-end that renders in milliseconds and does not break when a plugin updates.

Commerce storefronts

Custom storefronts on Shopify, WooCommerce or a commerce API, with the checkout you want rather than the one the theme allows.

Web applications

Dashboards, portals and internal tools with authentication, real-time data and the interaction quality people expect from software.

Multi-brand and multi-region

One codebase, many sites: shared components, per-brand themes, per-region content and a single deploy pipeline.

Marketing sites with a design budget

When the design is the product, a component-driven front-end reproduces it exactly instead of approximating it in a page builder.

Gradual migration

Route by route, the new front-end takes over from the old site behind the same domain, so nothing has to launch all at once.

Why CodeTrappers

Engineering, not scaffolding

A Next.js project is easy to start and hard to run well for three years.

Typed end to end

TypeScript from the API client to the component, so a content model change fails in the editor rather than in production.

Tested

Unit tests for logic, component tests for the design system, and end-to-end runs for the flows that make money.

Maintained

Framework upgrades, dependency patching and performance regressions handled on a retainer, by the people who built it.

Common pairings

Headless WordPress

Editors keep the WordPress admin, the front-end is Next.js. Our most common architecture, and it has its own page.

Serverless and edge

Rendering at the edge with Cloudflare Workers or Vercel Edge, for global audiences and spiky traffic.

Mobile apps from the same code

Shared components and API layer with a React Native or Capacitor app, so one team ships both.

Questions

What people ask before they start

Something not covered here? Ask us directly and an engineer will answer.

Ask a question

No. Headless WordPress is the pairing we do most, but we build Next.js front-ends against Sanity, Contentful, Strapi, Shopify and custom APIs too. The CMS is chosen for the editors, the front-end for the visitors.

Often, yes, and we will say so. It earns its place when the design is demanding, the content model is complex, traffic is spiky or the site is really an application. For a ten-page brochure a well-built WordPress theme is cheaper to own.

We do, if you want. Framework upgrades, dependency patching and performance monitoring on a monthly retainer, with the same engineers who built it.

Vercel or Cloudflare for most clients, or your own infrastructure if you have compliance reasons. We set up preview deployments per branch and a rollback path either way.
