Why Web Architecture Matters for SEO & AEO
Technical architecture directly impacts search visibility, AI citations, and conversion performance.
Performance & Rankings
Google uses Core Web Vitals as ranking factors. Custom development allows precise control over LCP (< 2.5s), FID (< 100ms), and CLS (< 0.1).
Learn about technical SEO →SEO Implementation
Server-side rendering through Next.js ensures search engines can crawl content. Enables dynamic meta tags, structured data, semantic HTML, and XML sitemaps.
Explore AI SEO strategies →AEO & AI Citations
Clean, semantic code structure is easily parsed by AI systems. Custom development enables clear content hierarchy, FAQ schema, and entity definitions.
Learn about AEO →Accessibility & UX
Accessible websites rank better and convert more visitors. Custom development ensures keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, WCAG compliance, and responsive design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about custom React + Tailwind web development.
What is custom web development?
Custom web development builds websites from scratch using programming languages and frameworks rather than templates or website builders. Webvello custom development writes code specifically for business needs using React, Tailwind CSS, and Next.js—creating unique websites optimized for specific goals rather than adapting generic templates.
Why should I choose React and Tailwind over WordPress or template builders?
React and Tailwind provide superior performance, scalability, and customization compared to WordPress or template builders. React websites load faster (typically under 2 seconds vs. 3-5 seconds for WordPress), are more secure without plugin vulnerabilities, and allow unlimited customization without template constraints. For businesses prioritizing performance, SEO rankings, and unique functionality, custom React development provides technical advantages that template solutions cannot match.
How long does custom web development take?
Custom web development timelines depend on project complexity. A simple 5-8 page website takes 6-8 weeks from start to launch. Websites with custom functionality, e-commerce, or user accounts take 8-12 weeks. Complex web applications may take 12-16 weeks. Webvello provides detailed timelines during discovery, with milestones for design approval, development completion, and launch.
What is the difference between web development and web design?
Web design creates the visual appearance and user experience—what the website looks like and how users interact with it. Web development builds the functional website using code—making the design work in browsers and implementing features like forms, databases, and integrations. At Webvello, both are integrated: designers create mockups, developers build them using React and Tailwind, ensuring designs are both beautiful and technically sound.
How does custom development help with SEO?
Custom development enables technical SEO implementations that improve search rankings. Next.js server-side rendering ensures search engines can crawl content, fast page speeds (under 2 seconds) improve Core Web Vitals scores that affect rankings, clean code structure allows proper schema markup implementation, and mobile-responsive design satisfies Google's mobile-first indexing.
Can you integrate with my existing business systems?
Yes, custom development allows integration with virtually any business system through APIs. Webvello regularly integrates websites with CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot), email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, Klaviyo), payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), inventory management, customer support tools, and analytics platforms. Integration requirements are identified during discovery and built into the development timeline.
What happens after the website launches?
After launch, Webvello provides 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and minor adjustments. Ongoing maintenance packages are available for continued updates, security patches, feature additions, and performance optimization. Most clients choose ongoing support plans that include monthly updates, performance monitoring, security maintenance, and SEO optimization.
How much does custom React + Tailwind development cost?
Custom web development pricing depends on project scope and complexity. Simple websites (5-8 pages, basic functionality) typically range from $8,000-$15,000. Medium complexity projects (10-15 pages, custom features, CMS) range from $15,000-$30,000. Complex applications with e-commerce, user authentication, or advanced integrations range from $30,000-$60,000+. Webvello provides detailed proposals during discovery with fixed pricing, milestone payments, and clear deliverables.
What is the difference between React and Next.js?
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces through components. Next.js is a framework built on top of React that adds server-side rendering, static site generation, routing, and performance optimizations. Webvello uses Next.js for almost all React projects because it provides the server-side rendering needed for search engine visibility while maintaining React's interactive capabilities.
Can I update the website content myself after launch?
Yes, content update capability is built into most projects. Webvello implements content management systems (like Sanity or Contentful) when clients need regular content updates, providing admin interfaces for changing text, images, and blog posts without coding. For simpler sites, Webvello provides documentation for basic updates or offers content update services as part of ongoing maintenance plans.
