Next.js Developer 15 Minutes from Tilburg
Tilburg is home to a creative industry, insurance giants like Interpolis, Tilburg University and a growing community of scale-ups around Spoorzone 013. If you need a freelance Next.js developer who genuinely knows the framework - not a generalist dabbling in React - VanIersel Development is based in Waalwijk, a 15-minute drive from Tilburg Centrum.
Why Next.js specialisation matters
Next.js 15 with the App Router introduced Server Components, streaming, parallel routes and a completely new caching model. Getting these right is the difference between a snappy site that scores 95+ on Core Web Vitals and a hydration-heavy blob that feels slower than an old WordPress install. I build on Next.js daily - salonnare.com and this very site (vaniersel.dev) both run on the latest Next.js in production.
