Build it right once

Zero-click search hit 68% and the crawlers behind ChatGPT and Claude still don't run JavaScript. The tested evidence for one pre-rendered build that covers search rankings, AI answers, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility law, and the receipts on what isn't worth paying for.

Global Cycling Network: structured editorial publishing on Sanity and Next.js

Global Cycling Network is one of the biggest online cycling communities, and their newsroom moves at race speed. We rebuilt their editorial platform on Sanity and Next.js: riders, teams, and bikes modelled as reusable references, a slug-cluster system that lets editors spin up sections four levels deep without waiting on a developer, and a Vercel front end that keeps up on race day.

Synacti: an AI-built software-acquisition site on Next.js and Sanity with live visual editing

Synacti buys and holds founder-built software companies, and wanted a site as modern as that thesis. We generated over 90 percent of the components with v0.dev, then hand-built the parts that needed craft: a Matter.js physics hero you can drag and throw, and a user-controlled theme picker. It runs on the Next.js App Router and Vercel, with Sanity and its Live Content API giving the team real-time visual editing.

Slingshot Bio: headless Shopify commerce for synthetic cell mimics on Sanity and Next.js

Slingshot Bio makes synthetic cell mimics that stand in for real immune cells on any flow cytometer. They arrived with a WordPress marketing site and a separate Shopify store, no shared design, content, or data. We converged both into one headless platform on Next.js, Sanity, and Shopify, instrumented end to end in PostHog and built to stay AI-ready, from design to launch in three months.

Jamb: antiques ecommerce on Sanity, Next.js, and headless Shopify

Jamb is a London design house selling antique and reproduction fireplaces, lighting, and furniture, most of it through enquiry rather than checkout. We merged Jamb and Hawker Antiques, two legacy PHP sites, into one platform rebuilt on Sanity, Next.js, and headless Shopify. Build times dropped from 30 minutes to three across 2,000+ pages, and the SEO equity held through the cutover.
