Turn a Hand-Coded Site into an AI-Run Platform
A hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JS site is fast, but it is frozen - no CMS, no analytics, no email, and every change means editing files by hand. We rebuild it as a Next.js app with a CMS, analytics, and email, all run by chatting with an AI.
No CMS means no future
A static hand-built site cannot grow with you. There is no easy way to publish content, no view of who visits, no email, and every edit is a developer task.
It works until the day you need to actually market with it.
What you move to
A self-hosted Next.js site that keeps the speed of static but adds Sanity for content, PostHog for analytics, and your email platform wired in. You own all of it.
Your site becomes your marketing team
Publish pages, read your numbers, and send email by chatting with an AI - no more hand-editing files - with a developer reviewing each change before it goes live.
Proof
A real migration, with the URLs kept intact.
Two production sites rebuilt on Next.js and Sanity with byte-identical URLs and a full 301 map, mapped from the sitemap and analytics before any code was written. The same discipline a static-HTML migration needs.

Frequently asked questions
- Will I lose my Google rankings?
- No. We run an SEO-migration audit first, map every URL, set redirects, and preserve metadata so rankings carry over.
- Will my site stay as fast?
- Yes. Next.js keeps the speed of a static site while adding a CMS, analytics, and email on top.
- Do I finally get a way to edit it myself?
- Yes. You add pages and content by telling an AI what you want, with a developer reviewing each change before it is live.
- How do we start?
- With a short scoping call to map your current site, then a fixed-price, fixed-scope rebuild.
