Performance is a feature

When prospects bounce in Dallas or Dubai, the reason is rarely “not enough animations.” It is usually latency, layout shift, or copy that does not match the ad they clicked. We default to Next.js 16 with disciplined caching and image hygiene so your first impression stays crisp on mobile.

Edge-ready without edge cases

We deploy compatible apps through OpenNext for Cloudflare Workers so SSR and static assets live close to users. Middleware handles redirects, security headers, and environment-aware robots behavior — the same patterns we use when separating *.workers.dev previews and staging.pixelkraft.net from pixelkraft.net production.

What we measure before launch

  • Largest Contentful Paint on real devices across Collin County field tests
  • Crawl budget and indexation on templated service pages
  • Form reliability with Brevo + server-side validation

We will keep publishing notes from delivery — no fluff, just what broke and how we fixed it.
