We stopped building on WordPress a while ago. Here is the exact stack we use now, and why it consistently performs better.

If you are reading this, you are probably asking a familiar question.

Should I save money and grab a cheap template, or invest in custom web design for my business?

It sounds like a tech decision. But it really is a business decision.

Most websites on the internet are slow, confusing, and full of quick fixes. Not because the owner did anything wrong, but because the tools were never really designed for long term growth. They are patched together with plugins and workarounds.

We wanted something different.

We wanted websites that load fast, look great, scale easily, and actually help businesses grow.

That is why we build on Next.js 16. Here is what that means, without the tech headache.

The Engine: Next.js 16

We build exclusively with Next.js. It is the same technology used by companies like Netflix and TikTok.

A traditional website loads slow. With Next.js is like a buffet. The food (content) is already cooked and waiting on the counter before you even walk in.

Zero Headaches

The result:

  • Your site loads instantly.
  • Google is happier.
  • People stay longer.

The Paint Job: Tailwind CSS

We design everything by hand using Tailwind CSS. No heavy themes. No messy code. Everything is intentional.

Your site stays clean and unique.

The Brains: Headless Content

You can update content without touching code.

You write. You publish. The site stays fast.

The Race Track: Vercel Hosting

Your site lives around the world, not just on one server. That makes it faster everywhere.

The Verdict

Cheaper tools exist. But if your business depends on trust, SEO, and conversions, this stack is worth it.
