The engineering cost of a server-first, Next.js 16+ digital asset. We do not sell templates or speculative business outcomes. We calculate the structural physics required to build a rank-ready, performant, and enduring public entity.
Price is a derivative of engineering effort, risk, and materials. It does not change based on who the client is.
— The Structural Integrity Doctrine
Scope Definition: This pricing model applies strictly to Service I (Public Websites & Portfolios). For Authenticated Web Apps, SaaS Platforms, or Internal Tools, reference Service II.
High-Performance Web Architecture pricing is calculated deterministically by summing three engineering vectors: Base Architecture (the fixed cost of a Next.js 16+ chassis), Visual Scope (the complexity of static versus dynamic views), and Data Scope (the schema engineering required for content models). We reject template-based estimates in favor of component-based physics.
Define the visual and structural scale of your website architecture.
Configure the headless content infrastructure required for dynamic data management and taxonomic relationships.
Why the calculator distinguishes between "Views" and "Models." We do not price by vague "pages"—we price by the engineering reality of rendering pixels and managing data.
The Presentation Layer
This measures the complexity of the viewport. A "Static View" uses standard Tailwind grid systems and typography. A "Complex View" requires custom Framer Motion orchestration, scroll-linked animations, and mobile-specific layout shifts.
The Schema Engineering
This measures the complexity of the Content Management System (CMS). Every "Model" is a database schema that requires definition, validation, and bridge code (GROQ/GraphQL) to fetch efficiently.
Every project begins with a non-negotiable "Capital Expenditure." This is not a setup fee—it is the engineering cost to initialize a professional-grade, secure, and scalable environment before a single pixel is designed.
Full initialization of the App Router architecture with React Server Components (RSC). Includes streaming infrastructure and edge-ready rendering strategies.
We do not ship "any" types. The entire codebase is strictly typed to prevent runtime errors and ensure long-term maintainability by any future engineering team.
Implementation of Content Security Policy (CSP) headers, HSTS enforcement, and environment variable encryption. Security is not an add-on; it is default.
Configuration of a semantic token engine for colors, typography, and spacing. Ensures pixel-perfect consistency across every view and device.
Automated deployment workflows connected to GitHub. Includes preview URLs for every code change and instant rollback capabilities on the Edge Network.
Integration of privacy-friendly analytics (PostHog/Custom) and real-time error logging. We monitor performance and Core Web Vitals from Day One.
We act as Quantity Surveyors measuring the materials for a permanent digital structure. While scope can be adjusted to meet a budget, we never lower the standard of engineering. We do not build out of straw.
Every Service I asset must pass Core Web Vitals. We guarantee an LCP < 2.5s and near-zero Interaction to Next Paint (INP). Speed is a requirement, not an optimization.
We build using Semantic HTML5exclusively. Your site will be accessible to screen readers, assistive technology, and search agents by default. We do not use "accessibility overlays."
Zero bundle-size server components ensure 100% indexability. Structured data (JSON-LD) and deterministic metadataare baked into the architecture, not added as an afterthought.
"We would rather lose a project than build a digital asset that will fail you in six months."
