Web Development with Next.js and React

Websites and web applications with Next.js 16 achieve typical LCP values below 2 seconds at Fragon Studios; websites on Next.js and React cost between 6,000 and 40,000 euros in 2026, with complex web applications going higher. Website or web application? The line is blurry, the cost isn't. A marketing site with a contact form, a blog, and a reference section is done in two to three weeks. A web application with login, roles, data flows, and a backend is a software project; effort and complexity match that of an internal business application. After the first call we tell you honestly which category your project actually falls into. Core Web Vitals are not marketing talk but hard ranking signals at Google. We build toward concrete targets: LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, CLS under 0.1. We reach these via Server Components, targeted lazy-loading, image optimization through next/image, and aggressive HTTP caching on our Hetzner servers. Content and editing: three models. First, our own CMS if you want to edit simple content yourself. Second, a headless CMS like Contentful or Sanity when an editorial team is involved. Third, developer-maintained when content rarely changes. Each has different operating costs; we help you weigh the trade-offs honestly. Deployment runs via Docker on Fragon Cloud in Nuremberg. Alternative regions in Falkenstein or Helsinki are available when latency to your users requires them.
