Remix consultant for teams making a framework decision
Written comparison of Remix vs Next.js against actual constraints (SEO, caching, edge, team skill). Migration plan if that is the answer.
Who this is for
Engineering lead weighing Remix vs Next.js, or planning to migrate one way or the other.
The pain today
- The decision carries years of technical lock-in.
- No internal experience to compare the two frameworks fairly.
- Leadership wants a written document, not a Twitter hot take.
- The hiring pool for each framework is different and that matters.
The outcome you get
- A written architecture consultation comparing both frameworks.
- A recommendation grounded in your app's actual constraints.
- A migration plan if migration is the answer.
- Hiring-pool analysis for both frameworks at your location.
What the advisory covers
The consultation reads the existing app (or the proposed app spec) and evaluates both frameworks against: SEO requirements (if the product is discovery-driven), caching model needs (static, ISR, on-demand, Cache Components, edge caching), hosting target (Vercel, Netlify, Fly, Cloudflare, self-hosted AWS), team skill profile (React, Node, TypeScript fluency), hiring-market size at your location, ecosystem library requirements (specific libraries that may be Next.js-first or Remix-first), and 24-month maintainability. The output is a written recommendation with the reasoning shown.
Imohub, Instill, LAK as Next.js comparative evidence
Next.js at production scale across my case studies: Imohub (120k+ properties, sub-0.5 second queries, top-3 Google rankings), LAK Embalagens (45% bounce reduction, 3x Search Console impressions), Instill (Next.js 16 plus React 19 plus Postgres plus MCP). Those are the 'what good Next.js looks like' references. Remix comparisons rest on the shared React plus Node foundations plus public documentation of Remix apps at similar scale. The advisory reports both sides honestly — my track record on Next.js is named; Remix is presented on its public merits.
When Remix wins, when Next.js wins
Remix wins: admin tools with heavy forms and mutations, apps that need progressive enhancement (forms work without JS), teams that value web-standards APIs, apps running on Cloudflare Workers at the edge. Next.js wins: content-heavy SEO-driven marketing sites, apps needing RSC and Cache Components, teams wanting the Vercel-native experience, projects where hiring depth matters (Next.js has a larger senior pool). Everything else is a coin flip — both frameworks ship great apps in 2026.
Pricing and deliverable
Advisory engagement at $4,500 per month (pro-rated for 1 to 3 week scope). Deliverable: written framework evaluation (10 to 20 pages), recommendation, migration plan if needed, 60-minute debrief call, 2-week follow-up. If you want me to execute the migration or the greenfield build, the Applications subscription at $3,499 per month covers it.
Recent proof
A comparable engagement, delivered and documented.
Rebuilt a real estate portal at a fraction of the cost
Rebuilt Imóveis SC's real estate portal as ImoHub — a faster, more scalable successor — handling 120k+ properties with sub-second search and drastically reduced AWS costs.
Frequently asked questions
The questions prospects ask before they book.
- Have you run Remix in production?
- Not in a named case study. The advisory rests on my React plus Node production history, the shared foundations both frameworks use, and public documentation of Remix at scale. The recommendation is honest about where my first-hand data lives.
- How long does the advisory take?
- 1 to 3 weeks. Greenfield framework picks take 1 to 2 weeks. Migration assessments for existing apps take 2 to 3 weeks.
- Can the advisory include a prototype?
- Yes — a 1-week Remix vs Next.js parallel prototype can be scoped into the engagement if the decision is critical enough to justify it. Both prototypes hit the same 3 or 4 core flows.
- Will the advisory consider other frameworks?
- If relevant. SvelteKit, SolidStart, Astro, and Qwik can enter the comparison if the team is open. Most teams in 2026 narrow to Remix vs Next.js before booking — and the advisory sticks to those two.
- What if the right answer is 'stay where you are'?
- Fine — the recommendation says so. Roughly 30% of migration advisories I run conclude the current stack is already the right choice and recommend hardening instead.
