Next.js Freelancer with a focus on what matters
I’m a senior Next.js developer with a unique skill set tailored to marketing sites. My Next.js development focuses on:

- Technical SEO for Next.js
- Allowing your team to edit the Next.js site using a headless CMS, without needing coding experience
Hey, I’m Jere, a Next.js freelancer
I’m a Next.js freelancer based in Finland, but I work with clients all around the world. I have been doing this for 7 years now, so I have experience handling a wide range of projects and technical challenges.
Personal Next.js milestones
- Experience using Next.js with all of the major headless CMS platforms
- Development experience with large enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses
- I advise enterprise clients on page speed optimization and technical SEO on an ongoing basis
- Improved Lighthouse performance scores on Next.js sites from 30–50 to 85–95

I can be your entire Next.js development team or join your existing development team
For some of my Next.js clients, I am their entire marketing site development team. These clients often have their own in-house developers, but those developers are busy building the company’s product and lack experience building an optimized, scalable Next.js marketing site. That’s where my Next.js expertise comes in: great user experience, technical SEO, page speed optimization, and accessibility.
I can also join your existing development team in either a consulting or a contracting role. My enterprise clients have been very happy with my work and have consistently expanded the scope of our collaboration after getting to know me and seeing the results.

I focus on what matters with Next.js
Great user experience
Where Next.js really shines, in my opinion, is the smooth experience it delivers to users. Pages load quickly thanks to build-time rendering, and the UI feels very fluid thanks to React.
Technical SEO for Next.js
I have plenty of SEO experience with Next.js. I build all of my sites with SEO in mind and provide SEO consulting for existing Next.js websites.
Page Speed Optimization
A Next.js site can become quite heavy as it grows. I specialize in optimizing Next.js sites to deliver a great user experience, pass Core Web Vitals assessments, and achieve green Lighthouse scores.
Enable your team to edit the site independently
Your team should be able to update the site without asking a developer for every change. I help make that possible. I know how to properly connect a Next.js site to a headless CMS so that your team can edit content, create completely new pages, and manage redirects, metadata, indexing, and much more independently. My preferred CMS is Storyblok.
