Next.js for products that have to be fast, indexed and maintainable.
Algoace builds SaaS platforms, dashboards and content sites in Next.js with the App Router, React Server Components, Node.js services, PostgreSQL or Supabase and Payload CMS, deployed on Vercel or AWS. This website is built the same way and is held to the same Core Web Vitals budget we hold client work to.

When Next.js is the right choice, and when it is not
The right choice
- SaaS and dashboards.
- Content and marketing sites where search and AI visibility matter.
- Products that need a CMS engineers do not hate (Payload).
- Teams that want one language across web, mobile and services.
Not the right choice
- Pure static documentation sites (Astro is lighter).
- Products with a large existing backend in another ecosystem where a thin frontend is all that is needed.
How we build in Next.js
- 01Server components by default, client components pushed to the smallest interactive boundary
- 02Data fetched on the server, no client waterfalls above the fold
- 03next/image with one priority image per template
- 04Self-hosted fonts with metric-matched fallbacks
- 05Lighthouse CI budget in the pipeline: LCP warning at 2.0 s, CLS hard fail at 0.1
Next.js on Vercel or a traditional CMS (WordPress)
| Criterion | WordPress plus page builder | Next.js plus Payload |
|---|---|---|
| Core Web Vitals on mobile | Hard to pass with plugins | Passes by design when the budget is enforced |
| Editorial experience | Familiar | Structured fields, less freeform |
| Security surface | Plugins | Small, managed |
| Custom product features | Bolt-on | Native |
| Cost to run | Low hosting, high maintenance | Managed hosting, low maintenance |
| Right when | Brochure site, non-technical team | Product site, SaaS, anything measured on speed |
