What does a Next.js developer actually do for you?
A Next.js developer builds your site as real, hand-written code — pages, performance, SEO foundations and interactivity — instead of assembling it from a template or a page builder. The same person designs the build, writes the code and ships it, so nothing gets lost in translation.
This is for businesses that want a marketing site or launch page that loads fast, ranks, and looks like nobody else’s — not another template that a thousand other sites also use.
Why custom code instead of WordPress or Webflow?
Custom code means no template bloat, no plugin stack, no platform lock-in — your site is built only from what it actually needs. Less code shipped to the browser means a faster load. Don’t take a claimed Lighthouse number on faith: run any URL on this site through Google PageSpeed yourself.
Clean markup gives full control over structure, schema and Core Web Vitals instead of fighting a builder’s output — and the code is yours to keep, move and extend. Honest counter-point: if you need a 50-page blog you edit daily yourself, a CMS or builder may be the right call. Custom code shines for marketing sites, launch pages and interactive showcases.
Builder vs agency vs marketplace vs one specialist
| Website builder | Big agency | Marketplace | Veyro (one specialist) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who actually builds it | You / a template | A team behind a PM | “a developer” from a pool | The person you talk to |
| Code & tech | Template + plugins | Custom, but layered | Varies by who you get | Hand-written Next.js / Three.js |
| Price clarity | Low, but DIY time | €150–300/h, slow scope | €15–50/h, you vet & manage | Fixed from €1,200, agreed up front |
| Do you own the code? | Platform lock-in | Usually — check contract | Depends on the gig | Yes — written in the contract |
| Monthly fee | Yes (platform) | Often a retainer | Platform fees | None |
| Direct contact | n/a | Through a PM | Through a platform | Straight to the developer |
Every column is the right choice for someone. This page is for the buyer who wants one specialist and direct contact.
What’s in the build.
Custom design + build
Designed and coded in Next.js, React and TypeScript — no template, no page builder. Built only from what your site actually needs.
Interactive & 3D, where it earns it
Three.js product viewers, immersive scenes, animated showcases. Honestly: only when it serves the goal, not for show.
Performance & SEO foundations
Fast loads, clean markup, schema, Core Web Vitals — verifiable. Don’t take a number on faith; run this site through PageSpeed.
The code is yours
Full source handed over on delivery. No lock-in, no subscription. Host it anywhere, hire anyone to extend it later.
A direct line
You talk to the person building it — not a sales layer, not a junior. Reply within 24 hours.
Responsive & accessible
Works on every device, built to last, accessible by default. Standards instead of plugins.
How the project runs, step by step.
Four steps. A typical marketing site is roughly 2–6 weeks — the biggest variable is how fast you deliver content and feedback, and I’ll tell you exactly what I need from you. No false “24-hour” promises.
- 01
Free first call
We scope what you actually need — no obligation. If a builder is the smarter call for you, I’ll tell you that instead of selling you something.
- 02
Fixed quote
One price, agreed before any work starts. A deposit to begin is standard practice. No hourly surprises.
- 03
Design + build
You see progress on a live link and give feedback directly to me. Revisions are part of it.
- 04
Review & launch
Final revisions, then go live — and you receive the full source code. It’s yours.
What does it cost?
Real prices, not “it depends”. A landing page from €1,200, a full website €2,500–4,500, and a premium build from €6,000 — three fixed bands, agreed up front before any work starts. For a small business, a focused landing page from €1,200 is usually the right entry point.
International clients welcome: prices in EUR, cross-border billing handled cleanly via Wise, a deposit to start is standard. As a small business under German §19 rules, no VAT is added. All prices shown are final — no hidden retainer, no platform markup.
One page that works. Focused, fast, no compromises.
A full web presence for businesses that refuse to look like a template.
Brand + web + 3D + strategy. All hand-written, no limit.
Do you own your website code?
Yes — and it’s written into the contract. The scary default answer online is “the developer owns it unless your contract says otherwise.” Here the contract says otherwise, on purpose.
You receive the full source code on delivery. Your domain and hosting stay in your name. No subscription, no lock-in — you can host it anywhere and hire anyone to extend it later. Code ownership is your insurance against being trapped with one provider.
The proof is the site you’re on.
I’ll be honest: this is a young studio. No borrowed client logos, no invented testimonials. The proof is concrete and self-checkable — open this page in Google PageSpeed and judge the build yourself. That’s a better signal than a number I type here.

Questions before you hire.
How much does it cost to hire a freelance web developer?
Here it’s fixed, not “it depends”. A landing page starts at €1,200, a full website runs €2,500–4,500, and a premium build starts at €6,000. You get one price agreed before any work starts, with no hourly surprises, no retainer and no platform markup.
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency for a small business website?
For most small businesses, one specialist is the better fit: you talk directly to the person building it, with no project-manager layer and no agency overhead inflating the bill. Pick an agency only when you need a large team across many disciplines at once. For a focused marketing site, a solo specialist is faster and cheaper.
Do I own my website code after a developer builds it?
Yes, and it’s written into the contract here. The scary default answer online is that the developer keeps ownership unless stated otherwise. With me it’s stated otherwise on purpose: you receive the full source code, your domain and hosting stay in your name, and there’s no lock-in.
Is a custom-coded website better than WordPress or Webflow?
For speed, SEO and ownership, usually yes. Custom code ships no template bloat or plugin stack, so it loads faster and you avoid platform lock-in. You can verify the difference by running any page on this site through Google PageSpeed. A builder still wins if you need a large blog you edit yourself daily.
How long does it take to build a custom website?
A typical marketing site takes roughly 2–6 weeks. I won’t promise “24 hours” like a marketplace. The biggest variable is you: how fast you deliver content, assets and feedback. At the start I tell you exactly what I need from you so the timeline stays realistic and on track.
What can you build with Three.js?
Three.js renders real 3D and interactive scenes in the browser: product viewers you can rotate, immersive 3D landing pages, and animated showcases that template builders can’t produce. You can see a working example in the ONYX showcase, which is an honest demo built to show the 3D work, not a paid client project.
Can you work with international clients and how is payment handled?
Yes. I work in English with clients worldwide. Prices are in EUR and cross-border payment is handled cleanly via Wise. A deposit to start the project is standard practice, with the balance due on delivery. As a small business under German rules, no VAT is added to the quoted price.
Why hire one specialist instead of a marketplace like Toptal or Fiverr?
On a marketplace you get “a developer” from a pool and still have to vet and manage them yourself. Here you reach the one person who designs, codes and ships your site, with direct contact and a reply within 24 hours. No junior relays your brief, no platform fees, and the work is accountable to one name.
A free first call, an honest opinion, a fixed quote — no pressure, no sales script. You talk to the developer directly, with a reply within 24 hours. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you that too.
