This is a React + Next.js project based on Tailwind Spotlight template.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

SEO setup

Google Search Console verification

This project reads a Google verification token from:

• GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION

Set it in your deployment environment (for example in Vercel project settings), then redeploy.

Top 3 page SEO checklist

Use this checklist regularly for your highest-priority pages:

1. Home (/)

• Keep one clear H1 and a concise intro paragraph in the first viewport.
• Ensure primary internal links point to /it-services and your best blog post.
• Keep title and meta description aligned with your core expertise.

2. IT Services (/it-services)

• Make service offering explicit in headings and first 100 words.
• Add trust signals: concrete outcomes, years of experience, and proof points.
• Add strong internal links to relevant blog posts and contact path.

3. Best-performing Blog Post (/blog/<slug>)

• Keep the first section directly answering the post’s core search intent.
• Add 2-4 internal links to related posts/services with descriptive anchor text.
• Refresh content date and examples when information changes.

After publishing changes

• Re-submit /sitemap.xml in Google Search Console.
• Use URL Inspection for changed pages and request indexing.
• Re-check Core Web Vitals and indexing status after a few days.

Hosting model:

website build and deployment hosted on Vercel. This enabled MDX (stuff that can be run on a server).

I have tried hosting on my personal webserver which only worked without the server components like:

After renaming next.config.mjs to next.config.js with contents:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  output: 'export',
  images: { unoptimized: true }
}
   
module.exports = nextConfig
