Next.js development for high-performance websites and web applications built to your requirements.
React front ends, headless architectures, and rendering strategies matched to how each page earns its traffic.
Teams choose Next.js for performance and control. Temper And Forge builds front ends that deliver both in production.
How We Build With Next.js
01
Architecture and rendering strategy
Next.js offers rendering choices most platforms make for you: static generation, server rendering, or edge delivery, set per route by how the page earns traffic and how often it changes. We make those calls explicitly at the start, because they shape cost, speed, and everything after.
02
Headless CMS and content modeling
The content layer gets chosen and modeled to fit: Sanity, Contentful, or another headless CMS structured so editors work in drafts and previews while the front end stays fully custom. Marketing keeps publishing autonomy without giving up the engineering.
03
Component builds in React
The front end gets built as a typed component system: design tokens, accessibility baked in, and states handled before QA finds them. Custom does not mean fragile, and the codebase reads like something your own engineers would be glad to inherit.
04
Shipping, measuring, iterating
Launch runs through CI with preview deployments for review, Core Web Vitals monitored in production, and analytics tied to the metrics the site was built to move. Then iteration is cheap, which is the practical advantage of owning your front end.
Our team
The engineers behind the code.

Temper And Forge has designed and developed two WordPress websites for us and is currently developing a third. They integrated a shopping cart and class registration feature, and they demonstrated exceptional flexibility when we shifted priorities mid-project — adapting without missing a beat and consistently delivering work ahead of schedule. Temper And Forge introduced tools like Figma that became part of our ongoing workflow, and their close-knit leadership kept communication seamless throughout. We've seen an increase in our email sign-ups and website engagement, and the team has produced the best work for us.
