Custom website development that does more than pages.
Next.js and a headless CMS for sites with calculators, gated content or live data. Your marketing team still edits every word.
When custom website development makes sense.
Custom is what you choose when the platform has become the constraint. Think calculators pulling live rates, or research gated against your CRM. Content matched to account tier belongs here too.
These are not plugin problems. Pretending otherwise is how a site ends up with six plugins doing one job badly. Custom also ends the wait for someone else’s roadmap.
The shape is consistent. Next.js on the front, TypeScript throughout, and a headless CMS behind it. Edge rendering keeps load times near one second across three continents.
What this means for you.
Custom development services we offer.
Every engagement opens with an assessment that maps each requirement to where it belongs.
Next.js site with headless CMS
A custom front end for a site that has to do something. Calculate, gate, personalise or pull live data.
8–14 weeksWeb application
Dashboards, client portals and internal tools. They sit beside the marketing site and share its design system.
12–20 weeksPerformance rebuild
An existing site rebuilt on a modern stack. For when the current platform has run out of headroom.
6–10 weeksOur custom build process.
Five stages, starting with an architecture plan you sign off.
Assess
Design
Build
Launch
Run it
Requirements before architecture.
A capability review of what the site has to do, mapped against what WordPress or Webflow can reach. You get a written architecture recommendation and a scope you sign off before design starts.
States, not just screens.
Three directions, then design covering what interactive sites actually hit: loading, empty, error, permission-denied and partial-data states. The states are where custom projects usually come apart.
Front end, CMS and logic.
Next.js build in TypeScript, with headless CMS schemas and previews wired. Business logic is written with tests. The deployment pipeline gives every branch its own preview URL.
Ship behind a flag.
Content migration, 301 mapping, load testing against your peak, staged rollout behind feature flags and analytics verified live. Seven days on call afterwards.
Then it is genuinely yours.
An optional retainer for feature work, dependency upgrades and monitoring. Or a full handover to your engineers, with architecture notes and a walkthrough. Both are normal endings here.
Recent client results.
Live client stores, each measured against a number that was agreed before the work started.
Attackletics
A smart batting tee and coaching app for baseball and softball hitters, from youth players to pros. The brief was Japanese retro-cyberpunk — neon, scanlines and chromatic edges — on a store that still opens instantly on a phone.

Applied Vision Baseball
Swing-mechanics and vision trainers built by players for players — strobe glasses, reaction lights, swing locks. A deliberately minimal storefront that puts the product demonstration first and gets out of its way.

Cocoon Care
Bamboo swaddles, sleep bags and everyday babywear for Indian parents, much of it bought for infants with eczema. Hundreds of products, tens of thousands of orders and years of ranking history moved off a slow WooCommerce build without losing any of it.

GRH Kratom
Farm-to-market kratom and kava from a family-owned Southeast Asian farm, sold to a US audience that reads labels closely. Six years of SEO equity, hundreds of products and thousands of pages moved off WooCommerce with every ranking intact.

Why teams choose Syscodes.
Most arrive after a platform stopped them shipping something the business needed.

A Next.js website development project with a headless CMS runs eight to fourteen weeks. Web apps with logins and dashboards take twelve to twenty. A rebuild on a modern stack is six to ten.
Yes. A headless CMS website is as easy to edit as WordPress. Live previews are set up for every template. The difference is where the logic sits. It lives in tested code, not a plugin screen.
Upgrades, monitoring and a small amount of feature work. We hand over a plan in writing at launch. You can run it with your own team or keep us on a retainer.
Yes, and we keep that route open. Content lives in a headless CMS rather than in code. Moving it is an export, not a rebuild.
