SETTING UP A NEXT.JS PROJECT THE RIGHT WAY

A SOLID PROJECT SETUP SAVES HOURS OF DEBUGGING AND KEEPS YOUR TEAM MOVING FAST AS THE CODEBASE GROWS.

Next.js has become a favourite for marketing sites and web apps alike. Here is the checklist our developers follow before writing the first feature.

CHOOSE YOUR FOUNDATIONS

Decide early on routing, styling and data fetching. Pick one styling approach, add TypeScript from day one and agree on a clear folder structure so every developer knows where things belong.

AUTOMATE QUALITY

Linting, formatting and type checks should run automatically on every commit. Add preview deployments for each pull request so designers and clients can review changes before they go live.

CONSISTENCY IN THE FIRST WEEK BECOMES SPEED IN THE FIRST YEAR.

PLAN FOR CONTENT AND SEO

Connect a headless CMS, define metadata for every page and generate a sitemap automatically. These small steps make it easy for marketing teams to publish content and for search engines to find it.
