01What kind of projects do you take on?+−
Production-grade Next.js + Sanity CMS websites for startups and agencies — marketing sites, headless rebuilds, content platforms, internal dashboards, and greenfield MVPs. I've shipped across SaaS, Web3, recruitment, e-commerce, real estate, and education.
02How much does a Sanity + Next.js website cost?+−
My fixed-price packages start at $4,000 for a Sanity + Next.js site build, $3,000 for a migration off WordPress or Contentful, and $800 for a performance and Sanity audit. Final price depends on page count, content volume, and integrations — you get a written fixed-price proposal within 48 hours of a 30-minute scope call. Sanity and Vercel plan fees are separate and paid directly.
03How long does a typical project take?+−
A polished marketing site with 6–10 pages and Sanity Studio is usually 3–5 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger headless rebuilds and product surfaces typically run 6–12 weeks. I share a staging URL from day one so progress is visible every working day.
04Do you work with clients outside India?+−
Yes — most of my work is for US, UK, Ireland, and Middle East clients. I'm based in Surat, India (IST, UTC+5:30) which gives a healthy overlap with EU mornings and US East-coast mornings. Communication is on Slack, Discord, or Notion plus a weekly call.
05What's your stack?+−
Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Sanity CMS for the front of house. Node.js, REST APIs, PostgreSQL/Prisma where backend is needed. Vercel for hosting, Algolia for search, SendGrid for transactional email, GSAP/Framer Motion for interactions.
06How do you handle SEO and performance?+−
Every site I ship targets 95+ Lighthouse scores and green Core Web Vitals on key pages. I bake in JSON-LD structured data, Next.js Metadata API for canonicals/OG, automated sitemaps, image optimisation via Sanity CDN, and edge caching from the first commit — not bolted on at the end.
07Can you take over an existing codebase?+−
Yes — I've shipped onto projects ranging from solo-founder Sanity sites to platform codebases used by 40+ countries of users. I start with an audit week to map architecture, dependencies, and risk, then ship incrementally. Same deal whether it's a Next.js, Gatsby, or SvelteKit codebase.
08How do we get started?+−
Easiest is a 30-minute call via cal.com/nayankyada to scope the work, talk timeline and budget, and decide if we're a fit. After that I send a written proposal with milestones and a fixed price (builds from $4k, migrations from $3k, audits from $800) or a weekly retainer rate for agencies.
