White-label Next.js development for agencies

SoftVolt AI is a white-label Next.js development team for agencies in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. You sell the site, and we build it in Next.js under your brand on headless WordPress, Payload, Sanity or Postgres. You get a written scope and a fixed price within two business days of the brief.

We sign a mutual NDA before you share client details, and the finished build comes back with your name on every document. This website runs on the same stack: headless WordPress with a Next.js front end on Vercel.

What is white-label Next.js development?

White-label Next.js development means an outside team builds a Next.js website or web app that your agency delivers as its own work. The developer stays invisible: no credit link, no contact with your client, and the code, staging site and documents all carry your brand. Agencies use it to sell headless and React projects without a full-time Next.js hire.

Next.js is a React framework that renders pages on the server, so visitors and search engines receive finished HTML. It suits clients who need speed, custom interactions or logged-in features that a theme or page builder struggles with.

What a white-label Next.js partner handles for your agency

We take the build from approved design to handover, including the work your client never sees. These are the tasks that decide whether a Next.js site still works well a year after launch.

• Content modelling before code. We decide which fields editors need, which pages share a template and what must stay editable after launch.
• Rendering choices per route. Marketing pages are built static, anything personal renders on the server, and on-demand revalidation pushes published edits live without a deploy.
• SEO parity on rebuilds. Metadata, canonical tags, the XML sitemap, structured data and a redirect map from every old URL come across before launch.
• Forms that keep the CMS private. Submissions post to a Next.js route handler with validation and spam protection, so the browser never talks to the CMS directly.
• Images and fonts. We use next/image and next/font, then check the result on real phones during QA.
• The edge cases. Draft preview links, custom 404 and error pages, consent that holds tags until the visitor agrees, and analytics that still record client-side page changes.

You stay in charge of the client relationship, design sign-off and commercial terms. We do not talk to your client, pitch them extra work or change scope without you.

When the client asks for something the brief did not cover, we write it down and price it before building it. Your margin stays intact, and the client’s expectations stay with you.

Which Next.js stack fits which client

The right stack depends on who edits the content and whether the site needs logins. Use this table as a starting point; the written scope confirms the choice for each brief.

Client need	Approach	Why
Marketing team already knows WordPress	Headless WordPress with a Next.js front end	Editors keep the admin they use today, and visitors get a faster site.
Structured content, custom roles, own data	Next.js with Payload CMS and PostgreSQL	The CMS lives inside the app, so content, users and data share one codebase and one deploy.
Editorial team that wants live preview	Next.js with Sanity or Prismic	A hosted CMS with structured content, visual editing and localisation.
Logins, dashboards or bookings	Next.js web app on PostgreSQL	Auth, roles and a proper data model, scoped as a product rather than a website.
Paid campaign pages	Next.js landing pages on Vercel	Fast pages with tracking tested end to end, ready to clone for the next campaign.

Some briefs do not need Next.js at all. If the client wants to drag and drop every layout on a tight budget, a standard WordPress build often serves them better. The scope will say so.

How Next.js development for agencies runs day to day

You brief us, we scope it, and the build runs on a staging URL under your brand. A named producer owns the project and answers in a shared Slack Connect or WhatsApp channel.

The team works from Dhaka (UTC+6, no daylight saving). Our afternoon overlaps the UK working day, our evening overlaps US East Coast mornings, and our morning overlaps the Sydney afternoon.

In practice, you can brief us at 5pm London and review progress at 9am. Code lives in a Git repository from the first day, and commits and staging domains carry your brand.

Staging is password-protected and set to noindex. Before you see a build, it goes through cross-browser, real-device, accessibility and Core Web Vitals checks against our published QA checklist.

Pricing for Next.js builds

Headless Next.js work is included from the Growth plan upwards. Anything outside a plan gets its own written scope and fixed price before work starts, and every plan is listed on our rates page.

Plan	From	What it includes
Growth	£1,200/month	Up to 3 active projects; WordPress, WooCommerce and headless Next.js; priority turnaround of 7 to 10 business days; up to 10 pages per project; a named producer and shared channel
Premium	£2,400/month	Up to 6 active projects; builds, AI automation, SEO and paid media; fast-track turnaround of 5 to 7 business days; up to 15 pages per project; same-day priority support
Enterprise	Quoted	Unlimited active projects, billed monthly; the full white-label suite; turnaround agreed in writing; capacity planning and reporting; multi-brand and multi-team support

The Essential plan (from £500/month) covers WordPress and WooCommerce builds only, so Next.js work starts at Growth.

For a one-off scope, a few things move the price most. The count of unique templates matters more than the total page count. Content migration and the redirect map add time, as do logins, roles, payments and each third-party integration.

Hosting, CMS seats and other third-party costs are billed at cost or held in your accounts. We do not mark them up.

Builds you can open

The Bulk Bag Man shows how we build headless WordPress with Next.js. A WordPress child theme exposes ACF fields, menus and a Supplies post type through the REST API. A Next.js App Router front end renders it on Vercel.

Form submissions pass through a Next.js route handler, so the browser never calls WordPress. The client still edits content in the WordPress admin they already know. Read the Bulk Bag Man case study.

You can also inspect this website. It runs on headless WordPress with a Next.js App Router front end on Vercel, using server components and self-hosted fonts.

Our public case studies are sites our founder delivered before SoftVolt AI. White-label partner work never appears without the agency’s written permission.

Outsource Next.js development or hire in-house

A white-label partner suits agencies with steady but uneven Next.js demand. A hire makes more sense once you have enough React work to fill a full-time role every month.

What matters	In-house hire	Freelancer	White-label partner
Cost	Salary plus benefits, payroll taxes, equipment and your management time	An hourly or project rate that varies widely, plus your time checking the work	A fixed price against a written scope, or a monthly plan
Time to start	Weeks to months to advertise, interview and onboard	Whenever someone good happens to be free	A written scope and fixed price within two business days
Who manages the work	You do	You do	A named producer in your shared channel
Holidays and sick days	Delivery pauses	You find a replacement mid-project	Team cover, with the same producer on the thread
Quality control	One person checking their own work	Depends on the individual	The same published QA checklist on every build
White label	Internal, so it does not apply	Sometimes, and your client’s site may end up in their portfolio	Always: mutual NDA, no contact with your client, no credit anywhere

Some agencies use both. An in-house lead owns the client and the technical direction, and a partner adds production capacity when the pipeline fills.

Your client stays yours

We work behind your agency and nowhere else. These terms sit in the agency protection terms you sign once, not in a policy nobody reads.

• A mutual NDA, on our template or yours, signed before you share a client’s name.
• We never contact your client: no emails, no LinkedIn and no portfolio use without your written permission.
• No footer credits, watermarks or “built by” lines. Staging domains, commits and documents carry your brand.
• Credentials live in a shared 1Password or Bitwarden vault with least-privilege access, and we revoke and confirm access in writing at handover.
• For client personal data, we work under UK GDPR (IDTA or UK Addendum), EU Standard Contractual Clauses and an Article 28 data processing agreement.

The full detail is on our security and confidentiality page.

For UK, US, Canadian and Australian agencies

For UK agencies

UK agencies get the widest overlap, because our afternoon overlaps your working day. Brief us at 5pm London and review at 9am. Plans are priced in pounds, and personal data is handled under UK GDPR with the IDTA or UK Addendum.

For US, Canadian and Australian agencies

Our evening overlaps East Coast mornings in the US and Canada, and our morning overlaps the Sydney afternoon. That gives you a live window for calls and an overnight build cycle for the rest. You sign the same NDA and protection terms as a UK agency.
