Choosing the Right Tech Stack for Your Project

One of the first questions we get from clients is: "What technology should we use?" The honest answer is always: it depends. Here's how we think about it.

Websites and Landing Pages

For most marketing sites, portfolios, and landing pages, we recommend Next.js with static generation. It gives you:

  • Lightning-fast page loads
  • Great SEO out of the box
  • Easy content updates
  • Low hosting costs (often free)

If you need a CMS for non-technical editors, we can integrate headless options like Sanity or Contentful.

Web Applications

For SaaS tools, dashboards, and interactive web apps, we typically reach for:

  • Next.js for the frontend framework
  • Supabase or PostgreSQL for the database
  • TypeScript throughout for type safety
  • Tailwind CSS for rapid UI development

The key is choosing tools that scale with your needs without over-engineering from day one.

Mobile Apps

For mobile apps, the choice between native and cross-platform depends on your requirements:

  • React Native is our go-to for cross-platform apps. One codebase, two platforms, and near-native performance.
  • Swift/Kotlin for apps that need deep platform integration or maximum performance.

Games

For mobile games, Unity with C# remains our preferred engine. It handles 2D and 3D games well, has excellent cross-platform support, and a massive ecosystem of tools and assets.

Our Advice

Don't chase trends. Pick boring, well-supported technology that your team (or your developer) knows well. The best tech stack is the one that ships your product on time and is easy to maintain.
