A Next.js developer
with no agency in between.
Next.js is the stack I work in every day. Not because it is popular, but because it combines the two things you normally have to choose between: a site Google can simply read, and an application that feels like nothing is loading. You talk to the person who builds it, not to an account manager.
When people call me for this.
Your site is slow and it costs you rankings
Core Web Vitals in the red, a homepage that spins for seconds. Usually it is too much client-side JavaScript for something that should have run on the server.
WordPress has outgrown itself
Every feature is a plugin, every plugin an update, and nobody dares update anymore. At some point rebuilding is cheaper than gluing.
Your React app cannot be found
A single-page app without server rendering is, to a search engine, largely an empty page with a loading spinner.
The previous developer is gone
A half-finished project, no documentation, and a repository nobody dares go into. Taking that over is a job in itself.
You need capacity temporarily
A team stuck on a migration, an App Router move or a deadline. A few weeks extra, then gone again.
Site and application are two separate worlds
Marketing site here, portal there, two styles, two logins. That can be one codebase with one design.
How a track like this runs.
Look first, quote after
You send the site or the repository. Within two working days I try to tell you what is going on and whether building on beats starting over. That opinion costs you nothing.
Fixed price, no hourly billing
You know up front what it costs and what you get. If the scope changes along the way, you hear it before it is built, not on the invoice.
Building in the open
A preview environment every week that you click through yourself. Changes through pull requests, so you see exactly what changes and why.
Delivered in your name
Repository, hosting and domain sit on your account. I am replaceable, and that is how it should be.
- ✓Next.js with App Router and server components
- ✓TypeScript, so mistakes surface before the deploy
- ✓Meta text, sitemap and structured data built in
- ✓Deployed on Vercel or your own server
- ✓Repository and hosting in your name
The first opinion costs you nothing: send me the repository or a link and I will tell you honestly whether building on beats starting over.
Clients rate me
5 stars on average.
Translated from the Dutch originals on Google.
I am Bas Voets. Since 2021 I have been building websites, client portals and business software for small and mid-sized companies, from Hazerswoude-Dorp in the Netherlands. From first call to launch you talk to me, not to an account manager.
What does hiring a Next.js developer cost?
Can you take over an existing project?
Do you also work inside an existing team temporarily?
Why Next.js and not WordPress?
Tell me what you
want to build.
A half-hour call. You get an honest answer about what it costs, how long it takes and whether building it is smart at all.
Have your current site or tool scanned
You do not have to want to buy anything yet. Send what you have and I will tell you honestly what I would keep, what I would replace and whether that is worth the investment. Including when the answer is that you are better off doing nothing.
The scan is a first impression, not a security audit.
- 01Send a link to your site, your tool or your repository
- 02I look at speed, structure, data and security
- 03Usually within two working days you hear what I would replace and what that costs
