Web Development

Web development is the engineering of a website or web application: the front-end code that renders the pages, the content management system, the hosting and the integrations with other software. A modern build separates content from code with a headless CMS and uses a framework such as Next.js or React so the site is fast, secure and can be changed without rebuilding it.

GrossiWeb is a web development agency based in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 2006, that builds websites, ecommerce stores and web applications on Next.js, React and TypeScript for businesses in Atlanta, Raleigh, Los Angeles and nationwide. Next.js marketing sites start at $8,000 and are quoted after scoping; maintenance and support plans start at $250 a month.

What this means for your business

Modern web development isn't just about building something that works today: it's about building something that scales, performs, and stays maintainable. We build exclusively on Next.js and React, with TypeScript for reliability and a headless CMS for content flexibility.

How it works

What you need to know before you start.

What is Next.js and why build a business website on it?

Next.js is an open-source framework built on React and maintained by Vercel that renders pages on the server or at build time, so a visitor and a search crawler receive finished HTML instead of waiting for a script. For a business site that means fast load times, strong Core Web Vitals, pages that Google and AI crawlers can read without executing JavaScript, and a codebase that scales from a brochure site to an application without changing platforms.

GrossiWeb builds every site on Next.js with TypeScript and a headless CMS such as Supabase, Sanity or Contentful, and hosts on Vercel's edge network. This site is built the same way, which is how it passes the Core Web Vitals and accessibility checks it recommends to clients.

Next.js or WordPress in 2026?

WordPress is the right choice when a business needs a cheap site it will edit itself, has a WordPress-trained team, and does not depend on speed or security. Next.js is the right choice when the site has to load fast, rank, resist attacks and grow into custom functionality. WordPress powers 40.7 percent of all websites (W3Techs, September 2026), which makes it both the most common platform and the most attacked one.

GrossiWeb moved its own clients from WordPress to Next.js and documented the results and the trade-offs in Next.js versus WordPress in 2026. The short version: the migration pays off when performance or security is costing you leads or time; it does not pay off for a site nobody visits.

Is Next.js still relevant, or are developers moving away from it?

Next.js remains the most widely used React framework for production websites, with active releases from Vercel and a large hiring market; the debate about developers moving away concerns specific app-router design choices and hosting lock-in, not the framework's viability for business websites. GrossiWeb builds on the current stable release, keeps the code portable across hosts, and has no dependency on Vercel-only features for a marketing site.

Published rate guides show the depth of the talent pool: US React developers at $100 to $150 an hour for senior work (Index.dev, 2025) and a median of $61 to $80 an hour (Arc.dev, 2026). A site built on Next.js can be maintained by any of them, which is the practical test of whether a platform is still relevant.

Should an existing WordPress site be migrated to Next.js, and how?

Migrate when the WordPress site is slow, hacked, expensive to keep patched, or blocking features the business needs; keep it when it works, gets few visitors, and the team edits it daily. GrossiWeb migrates by exporting the content to a headless CMS, rebuilding the templates on Next.js, mapping every old URL to its new address with a 301 redirect, and launching only after search rankings and forms are verified.

A migration is also the moment to fix structure: the SEO and accessibility checks are built into the rebuild rather than done afterwards.

What does a Next.js build cost and how long does it take?

GrossiWeb builds Next.js marketing websites from $8,000 and web applications by quote, with the price set after a scoping call that fixes page count, integrations and content. For comparison, published 2026 guides put a Next.js marketing site at $5,000 to $10,000 and a multi-page site at $10,000 to $30,000 (WebHelp Agency, 2026), and custom sites at $5,000 to $30,000 or more (DesignRush, 2026). Timeline depends on the same scope and is agreed in the quote.

Quotes are fixed, not hourly, so the price does not move when the work takes longer than planned. Ecommerce builds are scoped on the ecommerce development page and applications on the custom applications page.

Who maintains the site after launch?

GrossiWeb offers a maintenance and support plan from $250 a month that covers hosting management, framework and security updates, monitoring, and a monthly allowance of content and design changes; published 2026 guides put small-business maintenance at $50 to $500 a month (GoDaddy, 2026) and $125 to $500 a month (WebFX, 2026). Because you own the code and the hosting account, you can also maintain the site in-house or with another developer.

Details of what each plan covers are on the maintenance and support page.

FAQs

Questions people ask

How much does it cost to build a Next.js website?

GrossiWeb builds Next.js marketing sites from $8,000, quoted after scoping, and maintains them from $250 a month. Published 2026 guides put a Next.js marketing site at $5,000 to $10,000 and a multi-page site at $10,000 to $30,000 (WebHelp Agency, 2026). Design is either part of the web design quote or supplied by you.

Can I edit the website myself after it is built?

Yes. Content lives in a headless CMS with a normal editing screen for pages, posts and images, so your team changes text and pictures without touching code. Layout and functionality changes go through GrossiWeb or any developer you choose, since the code is in your own repository. The blog on this site runs on the same setup.

Do you work with Shopify or WooCommerce?

Yes. Ecommerce builds use Shopify, headless Shopify with a Next.js front end, or WooCommerce migrations, depending on catalogue size and how much custom checkout logic the store needs. The ecommerce development page explains when each option fits and what the store owner keeps control of.

Will a Next.js site rank better than WordPress?

Not by itself. Google ranks content and links, not frameworks. What Next.js changes is the technical floor: faster pages, clean HTML for crawlers, and no plugin bloat, which removes the problems that hold slow WordPress sites back. The ranking work is done by SEO and by the content structure that AI engines can quote.

What happens if GrossiWeb is not available later?

The site keeps running. Code is in your repository, hosting is in your account, and the stack is Next.js, React and TypeScript, which any experienced front-end developer can maintain; US rate guides show a large market of them at $61 to $150 an hour (Arc.dev, 2026; Index.dev, 2025). Nothing on the site depends on a GrossiWeb-only tool.
