Web Development Services — Custom Builds, Headless, Apps

By lynixseo@gmail.com Backlink Hut · Pattaya, Thailand · since 2021

Web development services beyond WordPress. Custom builds in Next.js, Astro, headless WordPress, custom apps. For projects where the platform is part of the strategy and an off-the-shelf CMS is a liability.

TL;DR: Web development beyond WordPress: Next.js, Astro, headless CMS, custom apps, mobile (React Native). For projects where the platform is part of the strategy and an off-the-shelf CMS becomes a liability.

When to go non-WordPress

  • Performance-critical sites, Core Web Vitals targets that page builders can’t hit; static generation gives 50ms TTFB.
  • Complex content schemas. Multi-language, multi-currency, multi-region with logic WordPress’s hierarchy fights.
  • Custom apps, booking flows, dashboards, vendor portals, programmatic SEO at scale (10k+ pages).
  • Mobile + web parity. When you need a React Native + web codebase sharing logic.
  • Headless WordPress, keep WP for editing, publish via Next.js or Astro for performance.

Stacks we use

  • Next.js, React-based, App Router, server components. Default for app-shaped projects.
  • Astro, content-heavy static sites with islands of interactivity. Excellent for marketing + docs.
  • Headless WordPress, WP backend, GraphQL/REST API, frontend in Next.js or Astro.
  • WooCommerce headless. Storefront API + custom checkout.
  • Static + edge. Cloudflare Pages, Workers, KV, D1.

Engagement structure

Fixed-scope projects quoted upfront with milestones and deliverables. Larger builds (3+ months) run on agile sprints with weekly demos. We give you the GitHub repo, the deployment pipeline, and full ownership at the end.

FAQ

Can you do mobile apps?

React Native, yes. Native iOS / Android (Swift / Kotlin), case by case.

Hosting recommendations?

Vercel for Next.js apps, Cloudflare Pages for static, Hetzner / DigitalOcean for self-hosted, AWS for enterprise. We set up CI/CD on whichever you choose.

What about WordPress vs custom for SEO?

Both can rank equally well. Google doesn’t care what stack the HTML came from. WordPress wins on speed of content publishing; custom wins on performance ceiling and complex application logic.

How a typical engagement runs

  1. Discovery (week 1-2): written audit covering current state, gap analysis, competitor benchmarks, recommended scope.
  2. Setup & quick wins (week 2-4). Technical fixes, tracking instrumentation, account configuration.
  3. Production starts (week 3-6): content, campaigns, or builds shipping based on the agreed scope.
  4. Optimization (month 2 onward). Weekly review, monthly client report, quarterly strategy revisit.

Most clients see meaningful movement in months 3-4 for the first batch of work. Compounding gains continue through month 12 and beyond. Three-month minimum to give the work a fair shot.
