Next.js development FAQs

Questions about product fit, backend architecture, integrations, hosting, cost, and source-code handover.

Still have a question?

Fit & planning

When should I choose Next.js?

Next.js is a strong fit for interactive web applications, customer portals, SaaS products, and websites with substantial server-side functionality. Simpler content-led sites usually suit Webflow or Astro better.

How much does Next.js development cost?

Next.js projects are quoted around the product scope. Authentication, user roles, data models, integrations, design complexity, testing, and migration requirements all affect the investment.

Do you work with businesses across Australia?

Yes. Pinecone Agency is a Melbourne studio in Collingwood, and we work with businesses across Australia, the UK, the US and beyond. Discovery, design reviews and progress updates all run online, so where you're based doesn't change how the project runs.

Build & integration

Can you build the backend as well as the Next.js front end?

Yes. We can design and build the full application, commonly pairing Next.js with Supabase or an existing API, depending on your data, security, and operational requirements.

Can Next.js connect to our existing systems?

Yes. We can integrate existing APIs, databases, identity providers, payment systems, CRMs, analytics, and content platforms, with the responsibilities documented before development starts.

Launch & handover

Where will the Next.js application be hosted?

Hosting depends on the application architecture. Vercel is often suitable, but we assess runtime needs, regions, data, traffic, observability, and existing infrastructure before recommending it.

What is handed over at the end of the project?

You receive the agreed source code, repositories, documentation, and deployment access, with ongoing support available if you want Pinecone Agency to stay involved.

What every Next.js project includes

  • Fit and requirements

    User journeys, data model, authentication needs, and which flows justify an application.

  • Application architecture

    Routing, server and client boundaries, data fetching, and caching decided per feature and written down.

  • Reusable implementation

    A shared component library and shared types, so the second and third features cost less than the first.

  • Authentication and access

    Sessions, roles, and protected routes implemented with the data layer rather than bolted on at the edges.

  • Performance foundations

    Bundle splitting, streaming, and caching strategy settled before the application grows past its first release.

  • Quality assurance

    Critical paths covered by tests, with type checking and linting enforced in the pipeline rather than by habit.

  • Documentation

    Architecture notes, environment setup, and the reasoning behind the boundaries the project chose.

  • Launch and handover

    Environments, secrets, deployment pipeline, and repository access handed over to your team.

  • The exact scope and responsibilities are agreed before work starts.

  • Working with Pinecone Agency was an excellent experience from start to finish. The new website has transformed how we communicate the Forget Me Not® platform — it’s clearer, more intuitive, and far more aligned with our brand. We’re already seeing stronger engagement from visitors, and the site has become a real asset in our sales conversations

  • Working with Richard and the Pinecone team was awesome. They helped us redesign our ecommerce site from the ground up and worked closely with us on conversion rate optimisation and the results spoke for themselves. If you're looking for a team that knows ecommerce inside and out and can turn that knowledge into real results, these are your people. Highly recommend.

Not only did they rebuild our site to match our updated branding, they have implemented custom code solutions and been creative partners on new web projects. They work quickly, efficiently, and provide immense value to our team at RSA. I am grateful we found Pinecone Agency!

  • I’m a sole trader who built my own site using Webflow — but I was concerned about how that would impact my SEO when I transitioned from my old site. Richard at Pinecone helped me sail what I expected to be a turbulent sea as if it was a calm lake with a pleasant breeze at our backs. Generous with his knowledge, he outlined all the steps I’d have to take, explaining clearly the process at each juncture and then jumping in when either my lack of time or technical know-how got the better of me. A true partner who places the needs of the customer first and foremost in the process, and is as personable as he is knowledgable, I couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s a keeper, for sure.

Richard’s attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to understanding my needs led to a top-notch website that exceeded my expectations. The support provided was outstanding, ensuring a smooth and satisfying project completion. I highly recommend Pinecone Agency for anyone looking for superior web design services.

    Bryan Smith Redline Cyber Security

  • Building a website with Pinecone felt more like a team project than a client-contractor relationship. They listened to our ideas, collaborated on every decision, and gave us an outstanding final product. Would definitely use them again on the next project.

    Daniel Greenblum Catch

  • Very professional and detail oriented. Made sure to walk through the process so we learned and understood what we were doing and why. I would absolutely hire them again to design and build my website.

    Uri Pearl Catch

  • I reached out to Pinecone Agency late last year to discuss building a new website for my company, Southside Engineering. From the very start, they knew their stuff and were professional and easy to work with. They captured our brand perfectly and made a website that not only looks great but we’re now getting more visits and leads through it! I highly recommend them.

  • We first worked with Richard in 2019 to develop and design our website, and have seen consistent SEO results, and consistent quality service from Pinecone. They are super easy to communicate with, and great at coming back to us with the specialised requests and additions we have.
