Sound familiar?

Custom should not mean difficult to manage.

Your website needs more than a standard setup

Custom journeys, connected data or interactive tools can stretch a visual website builder. We define which parts need custom development and build them around a clear marketing purpose.

Marketing waits on engineering for content

A custom frontend does not have to put every update in the development queue. We connect a CMS and create editing controls for the content and page patterns your team uses.

The site is becoming harder to change

One-off components and unclear ownership make future work expensive to plan. We organize the design system, content model and release process so the next change has a clear starting point.

How we help

Custom development with everyday publishing in mind.

Architecture and CMS planning

Choose Next.js or Astro around your content and interactions, with a CMS, hosting and publishing workflow that fit your team.

Responsive website components

Build shared layouts and page components, using React where interactive features need it and keeping the design consistent across screens.

CMS and preview workflows

Connect structured content and set up previews so editors can review changes before publishing.

Integrations and custom features

Build the agreed forms, API connections and interactive website features, with clear data flows and error handling.

Performance and search foundations

Plan what loads where, reduce unnecessary browser work and implement metadata, crawlable content and clean URLs.

Release workflow and ongoing care

Set up review environments, launch checks and documentation, then agree support for the codebase and website.

Laura Horniak Miškovová

We are organizing an innovative technology event, where we need to update the design of the whole website and be in line with the event communication. The main requirement was to be able to change and update content freely without the mandatory help of the vendor company. Both calls where achieved, we are super happy.

FAQ

Your questions answered

How do Next.js, React and Astro fit together?

React is a library for interfaces. Next.js is a React framework for websites and applications. Astro is a framework suited to content-led websites and can use React for interactive components. We choose the combination around your requirements; a project does not need all three.

Will marketers be able to edit a custom website?

These frameworks do not provide a marketing CMS by themselves. We connect a CMS such as Sanity and build the content fields, page patterns and previews your team needs. Editors manage those agreed areas; new functionality or structural changes still need development.

When would you recommend a custom build?

We consider it when your content, integrations or interactions justify custom development and you have a plan for ongoing ownership. Astro can suit content-led sites with selective interactivity; Next.js can suit broader React-based functionality. We also compare visual platforms when they meet the need.

Can you work with our current CMS?

We review its API, content structure, permissions and preview options. If it fits the project, we can plan around it. If a move is needed, the scope includes content mapping and the publishing workflow as well as the new frontend.

Are custom websites automatically fast and good for SEO?

No framework guarantees those outcomes. Rendering choices, media, code, content and third-party tools all matter. We build and test the relevant performance and search foundations, then use the finished website to judge what needs further work.

Does AI-assisted development mean the website includes AI features?

No. AI can support how we plan, build and review the website. A chatbot, content workflow or other AI feature is a separate requirement with its own data, behavior and testing needs. We define those features explicitly when they are part of the project.

What relevant custom website work can you show?

Our published Socksfor1 project uses React, Gatsby and Contentful, with a YouTube API integration. It demonstrates custom frontend and CMS work. We keep that stack visible and do not relabel it as a Next.js, Astro or Sanity project.

Who maintains the website after launch?

The codebase, CMS, hosting and integrations all need clear ownership. We can provide ongoing support or hand over to your team with documentation. The proposal defines maintenance, development capacity and third-party costs.
