Next.js and React Development in Romania

Where we use Next.js, React and Vue

Next.js is for sites and applications that must be found on Google: server rendering, localised routes, correct metadata and structured data. Plain React suits internal dashboards where search visibility is irrelevant. Vue is what we use when your team already works in it or we inherit a project. We deliver a reusable component library, forms with validation, handled loading and error states, and tests on the flows where money or sensitive data moves.

• Next.js applications with server rendering and localised routes
• A documented, accessible design system
• Frontends for headless commerce and headless CMS
• A performance budget checked on every release

Hosting Next.js without Vercel

A Next.js site does not need a closed platform. We run it in a container on a VPS with Node.js, behind a TLS proxy with caching for static pages. If the project can be exported statically, it can sit on cPanel with free Let's Encrypt SSL and daily backups. Servers are in Frankfurt, and the network includes L3/L4 DDoS protection. You keep control of the build, the cache rules and the logs.

Performance and indexing: measured, not promised

A slow frontend loses customers and rankings. At the start we set a performance budget: bundle weight, images in modern formats with reserved dimensions, fonts that do not block rendering, code loaded only when needed. We check Core Web Vitals on every release, not once at launch. For indexing we review canonical tags, hreflang for each market you sell in, a clean sitemap and valid structured data, because a page rendered only in the browser is hard for crawlers to read.

What the included hours pay for

You request hours in the DevOps Services section of the client panel and propose the date. On frontend work they fund version jumps in React or Next.js, trimming the JavaScript bundle, accessibility fixes, new pages and components, and integrations with payments, couriers or forms that feed 4softcrm. Hours are counted per calendar month and not carried over; extra hours are accepted and billed separately by the hour.

How we work

1. State the goal

   Open a request in the client panel, give us the site address or the design files, say what you want to achieve and propose a date.

2. Scope with a performance budget

   We settle components, routes and Web Vitals targets, estimate the effort in hours and confirm what your monthly allowance covers.

3. Review on a test subdomain

   We publish to a test subdomain, measure speed and accessibility, fix what falls short, then go live in a window you have agreed.

4. Hand over with documentation

   You receive the documented components, build and run instructions, the Web Vitals report, rollback steps and the hours used from your allowance.

Frequently asked questions

• Next.js or plain React: which is better for SEO?

  Next.js, because it can render the page on the server or at build time, so crawlers receive complete HTML. A client-only React app ships an empty shell that the browser fills in, which delays indexing and hurts Web Vitals. For internal dashboards, where search does not matter, plain React is enough.

• Where can I host Next.js outside Vercel?

  On a VPS with Node.js in a container: you get root access, can run several environments on one server and are not bound by a platform's function limits. Our servers are in Frankfurt, and your plan includes monthly hours for deployment, updates and optimisation.

• React, Vue or Angular for my project?

  The team that will maintain the code matters more than fashion. React has a large developer pool, so it is the easiest to hand over. Vue has a gentler learning curve and suits mid-sized projects. Angular makes sense if you already have internal standards built around it.

• What is server-side rendering and why does it matter?

  Server-side rendering builds the page before it reaches the browser. Visitors see content immediately and search engines receive ready-made HTML. It matters most on public product pages, articles and listings, where the first view decides whether the visitor stays or leaves.

• How do I improve Core Web Vitals on a React site?

  We measure on real user data first, not only in the lab. Then we remove unused JavaScript, serve images in modern formats with reserved dimensions, move work to the server, load fonts without blocking and add caching at the proxy. We re-check the numbers after every release.

• Can you take over a website built by another agency?

  Yes. We ask for repository and production access, read the code and dependencies, note the risks, then propose an order of work that fits your included hours. If no repository exists, rebuilding the history from what is running is the first step, paid from the allowance.
