Speed users can feel
Pages are rendered on the server or generated in advance, so they load fast on mobile too. A faster page means fewer visitors leaving and, in an online store, more purchases.
Next.js development
Opus Online is a Tallinn-based software development company building fast websites, headless online stores and B2B portals with Next.js. Our team of more than 25 people has worked with Next.js for more than 3 years.
We don’t start from the technology but from your goal. First, we find out whether Next.js is the right choice for your project.
Why choose Next.js?
Next.js is a React-based framework for building anything from a fast marketing site to a complex web application. For a business, that means three things.
Visibility in Google and AI search
Search engines and AI assistants see the content right away. Next.js lays a good foundation for meeting the Core Web Vitals requirements, but careful development is what delivers the result.
Flexibility as you grow
In a headless architecture, the content management system, e-commerce platform or ERP can be replaced later without rebuilding the whole site.

Is Next.js the right choice for your project?
Next.js isn’t right for every project, and we say so honestly at the very first meeting. For a small information site, WordPress is often cheaper and faster to launch.
| Feature | Next.js (headless) | WordPress | Off-the-shelf e-commerce platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best suited for | high-traffic sites, online stores, portals | information and marketing sites | online stores with a standard workflow |
| Speed | very good | good, depends on plugins | good |
| Integrations (ERP, PIM, CRM) | unlimited | limited | moderate |
| Design freedom | complete | within the theme | within the theme |
| Initial budget | higher | lower | lower |
| Further development over the years | easy | more complex | within the platform’s limits |
| Editing content | with a CMS (Payload, Strapi, Directus) | built in | built in |
Taking over and upgrading an existing Next.js project
We take over projects built by another agency or an in-house team. We start with a code and security audit that shows you what is in order, what needs fixing and what is critical.
After the takeover, we keep looking after the solution: monitoring, security updates and hosting are part of our maintenance service.
How do we work?
You deal directly with the people who build your solution, not with intermediaries.
Kick-off meeting
We listen to your goals and tell you honestly whether Next.js is a good fit.
Analysis and estimate
Functionality, integrations, risks, timeline and budget.
Development in cycles
A working version every couple of weeks.
Testing and launch
Speed, accessibility (WCAG, EAA) and security (OWASP).
Maintenance
We stay with the solution after launch too.
Technologies:
- React
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- Payload CMS
- Strapi
- MedusaJS
- Magento
- AWS
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Next.js website or online store cost?
A Next.js project usually costs between €10,000 and €70,000. A smaller project may cost less and a large platform more, as the price depends on the specifics of the project. We give an exact estimate after a short analysis.
How long does a Next.js project take?
Usually 1–6 months; a larger project may take longer.
Which should we choose, Next.js or WordPress?
WordPress suits simpler sites; Next.js is the choice when speed, integrations and design freedom matter.
Is Next.js good for SEO?
Yes. Content is rendered on the server, so Google and AI search see the page right away.
Can you take over a project built by another agency?
Yes. We start with a code and security audit and propose a plan for what comes next.
Where is a Next.js solution hosted?
On AWS or Zone, depending on the load and your requirements.
Can we edit the content ourselves?
Yes. We connect Next.js to a content management system, so your team can edit content without a developer.
