Websites Built to Rank,
Convert, and Last.
Custom Next.js websites engineered for speed, SEO, and scale. Modern stack, real results, full ownership — no themes, no page builders, no vendor lock-in.
What We Build
Every kind of site, on the same modern stack.
Marketing & Brochure Sites
For agencies, professional services, local businesses. Multi-page, content-led, SEO-first.
Web Applications
Custom dashboards, internal tools, customer portals. React + TypeScript, talking to your APIs.
Migrations
Off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace. Onto a stack that doesn’t lock you in or break under load.
Our Stack
Modern by default. Boring on purpose.
Every Sunrise website is built on Next.js with the App Router — the same framework used by some of the fastest sites on the web. Pages are server-rendered for SEO, statically generated where possible for speed, and hydrated with React 19 for interactivity when needed. TypeScript in strict mode catches bugs before they reach production, not after.
Styling is handled by Tailwind CSS — a utility-first design system that produces tiny CSS bundles and consistent design tokens across every page. No CSS-in-JS runtime cost, no bloated stylesheets, no “it looks different on that page” surprises.
Deployment lands on UK-based VPS infrastructure — not shared hosting, not a platform that disappears when the venture capital runs out. Auto-renewing SSL, systemd process management, and Nginx reverse proxying. The boring ops stack that just works.
If a framework is fashionable but unproven, we don't build production sites on it.
Process
From conversation to launch in five steps.
Discovery
Understand the business, the customer, the commercial goal. No assumptions. We learn what success looks like before a single wireframe is drawn.
Information Architecture
Site structure, navigation, page templates. The map before the build. Every page earns its place through a clear purpose and keyword intent.
Design
Wireframes, visual design, brand application. Every screen is reviewed before any code is written. No surprises at launch.
Build
Clean, accessible, performant. SEO foundations included from day one, not bolted on at the end. Code reviewed, typed, tested.
Launch
Production deploy, smoke tests, handover. You receive every credential, every Git commit, every domain — no hostage-taking.
Deliverables
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Why Modern Matters
The cost of building it wrong.
WordPress and page builders are the easy choice — and the one that costs more long-term. Plugin maintenance, security patches, slow load times, vendor lock-in. Every year the maintenance bill grows, and the site gets harder to change without breaking something.
A modern stack costs more upfront and less every year after. The site is faster, ranks better, breaks less, and remains yours forever. There are no licence fees, no plugin subscriptions, no surprise renewal invoices.
This isn't an aesthetic preference. It's a measurable difference in Core Web Vitals, search rankings, conversion rate, and total cost of ownership over five years.
