Next.js Website Development

Yes, because the HTML is finished before it reaches the browser. Whether LGTCS exports the site statically or renders it on the server, a crawler never has to execute JavaScript to find your content, and neither does an AI answer engine. Next.js also has first-class support for per-page metadata, canonical URLs, sitemaps, robots rules, and structured data, all written in typed code rather than bolted on by a plugin that can break at the next update. Every site LGTCS builds ships with that structured data in place from the first release, not as a later add-on.

No, and LGTCS uses both. Vercel builds Next.js and its hosting is genuinely excellent, so it is where LGTCS deploys projects that need server rendering, per-request pages, or preview builds for a larger team. Next.js also exports to static files that run on any host, and for most marketing and nonprofit sites LGTCS deploys those to Cloudflare because the running costs are lower and flatter. We recommend one or the other based on what your site has to do, not on a house preference. Tell LGTCS what your site needs to do and we will tell you which host it should sit on, and why.

The LGTCS website packages are built and priced around static export on Cloudflare: three fixed-price packages from $300, plus Digital Platform from $4,500 with a final price based on scope. If discovery shows your project needs server rendering, LGTCS will say so, build it on Vercel, and quote that separately, because the hosting economics are genuinely different and we would rather price it honestly than absorb it quietly. You will know which one applies to you before you commit to anything. Send LGTCS your page list and requirements and we will tell you which side of that line you fall on.

WordPress makes sense when non-technical staff need to build entirely new page layouts themselves every week, and LGTCS will tell you when that describes your organisation. Next.js makes sense when you want speed, security, and search performance without plugin maintenance, and when content updates are mostly text, images, and new articles rather than new layouts. A Next.js site has no plugin surface to be hacked through and nothing to patch every month, which is where most WordPress incidents come from. If you already run WordPress, send LGTCS the address and we will tell you honestly whether moving is worth it for you or whether keeping it behind Cloudflare would serve you better for less.

From the LGTCS Impact package upward, yes. We add a secure admin dashboard so your team can publish articles, projects and updates, and manage media, without touching code or waiting on us. On the Launch package, content changes come back to LGTCS, which suits a single page that rarely changes and keeps the price where it is. If you expect to publish regularly, tell LGTCS at scoping and we will start you at Impact rather than upgrading you later.

With LGTCS, a single-page Launch site takes three to five days. A five-page Impact site takes one to two weeks. A ten-page Growth site takes two to four weeks, and a full Digital Platform build takes four to eight weeks. The timeline depends far more on how quickly content and approvals arrive from your side than on the code. Send LGTCS your deadline with your page list and we will tell you before you commit whether it is achievable.

You do, on every LGTCS package including the cheapest one. The repository is created under your organisation from the first commit rather than transferred at the end, you hold the admin rights, and there is no licence to renew and no part of the codebase LGTCS holds back. Ask us to show you the repository before you pay the final invoice and you will see exactly what you own.
