A React & Next.js development company builds fast, SEO-friendly, scalable websites and web apps using the same technology behind modern product companies. In India this typically costs ₹18,000–45,000 for a company site and ₹1,00,000+ for a custom web app, with 100% code ownership. Here is exactly when React/Next.js is the right choice, when it is overkill, and what you should pay.
What are React and Next.js, in plain terms?
React is a JavaScript library for building interactive user interfaces; Next.js is the framework that wraps React to add server-side rendering, fast page loads, routing and built-in SEO features. Together they produce websites that feel like an app, load in under two seconds, and rank well on Google because pages are rendered properly for crawlers instead of relying on slow client-side scripts.
When should you choose React/Next.js?
- You want speed and Core Web Vitals. Next.js is built for fast first paint and good Lighthouse scores, which Google rewards.
- You have interactivity. Dashboards, filters, live search, logins, booking flows — React shines where a page needs to react to the user.
- You expect to scale. A growing catalogue, many pages, or a product that will keep adding features fits Next.js cleanly.
- SEO matters. Server-side rendering and static generation mean your content is crawlable and quotable by AI engines, not hidden behind JavaScript.
React/Next.js vs WordPress — which should you pick?
| Factor | React / Next.js | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Excellent (sub-2s, great CWV) | Good if optimised, plugin-heavy sites slow down |
| Custom features / apps | Ideal — dashboards, logins, APIs | Limited without heavy custom code |
| Content editing | Needs a headless CMS | Very easy for non-technical teams |
| Best for | Company sites, web apps, SaaS, scale | Blogs, brochure sites, small e-commerce |
| Typical cost | ₹18,000–45,000 site · ₹1,00,000+ app | ₹8,000–30,000 |
Rule of thumb: if you mostly publish content and want to edit it yourself, WordPress is fine. If you want speed, custom features, or a product that grows, React/Next.js pays for itself.

FAQ
Is Next.js better than WordPress for SEO?
For most sites, yes. Next.js renders pages on the server or as static files, so Google and AI engines see full content instantly and Core Web Vitals are strong. WordPress can rank well too, but plugin bloat often slows it down. Next.js gives you speed and clean structure by default.
How much does a React/Next.js website cost in India?
A company website is typically ₹18,000–45,000, a headless e-commerce site ₹45,000–1,00,000, and a custom web app ₹1,00,000+. Cyber Defence gives a flat written quote before starting, with no hidden charges and 100% code ownership handed to you.
Can I edit a Next.js website myself?
Yes — we connect a headless CMS (like Sanity or Strapi) so your team edits content without touching code, the same way you would in WordPress. You get the fast, secure Next.js front end with easy day-to-day editing.
Is React/Next.js overkill for a small business site?
Sometimes. If you only publish a few pages and edit them yourself, WordPress may be cheaper and simpler. Choose React/Next.js when you want top speed, custom features, logins or a site that will keep growing.
Do I own the React/Next.js code?
Yes, 100%. The source code, repository, hosting and domain are registered in your name and handed over. There is no lock-in, so any developer can maintain it later — though most clients stay for the support.
