# Next.js Client Template

> Set up a new Next.js client website from scratch, scaffold a project structure, or follow the…

A standardized, data-driven Next.js project template that takes a new client website from zero to first deploy in under four hours. Every page pulls content from typed data files instead of hardcoded strings, and SEO infrastructure: sitemap, robots, JSON-LD, OG images, metadata, ships in the very first commit. Stop re-deciding architecture per project and apply one proven, repeatable blueprint.

## Use cases
- Scaffolding a brand-new client marketing site
- Standardizing project structure across an agency's portfolio
- Setting up data-driven content (services, cities, pricing, FAQ)
- Wiring GA4 and Google Ads conversion tracking from day one
- Preparing pSEO (district × service) URL architecture
- Onboarding new developers onto a consistent codebase

## Benefits
- Roughly 40 hours saved per project by skipping architecture decisions
- SEO live on first deploy instead of bolted on later
- Content edits without touching component code (single source of truth)
- Build-time type safety that catches errors before runtime

## What’s included
- Complete directory blueprint (app, components, data, lib) with file conventions
- Typed data-file templates for site config, services, and page metadata
- 8-step setup workflow from repo creation to Vercel deploy and smoke test
- Built-in sitemap.ts, robots.ts, JSON-LD schema, and dynamic OG images
- Apex-domain, env-var, and analytics setup conventions
- Anti-pattern table covering hardcoded strings, www duplication, and loose typing

## Who it’s for
For agencies and freelancers who build many client websites and want a repeatable, SEO-first scaffold that ships fast.

## How it runs
This is the 8-step scaffold the skill runs for every new client site, from empty repo to smoke-tested deploy. No improvised architecture, the same proven template every time:
1. Verify the inputs before touching code: business name, sector, apex domain, contact details, brand assets, plus scope questions (pSEO matrix needed, blog, multilingual, Google Ads tracking)
2. Create the private GitHub repo and scaffold Next.js with TypeScript, Tailwind, App Router and src directory, then add the utility dependencies
3. Build the data layer first: site.ts (name, domain, contact, social, GA4 ID), services.ts, pages.ts and navigation.ts, all typed with interfaces so components stay free of hardcoded strings
4. Create the base pages (layout with Header and Footer, home with Hero plus ServiceGrid plus CTA, about, contact) together with sitemap.ts, robots.ts and the OG image generator, included by default, never added later
5. Wire analytics: GoogleAnalytics component into the layout, GA4 ID through env vars with the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix, and the Ads conversion component when the client runs campaigns
6. Deploy to Vercel, bind the apex domain (no www), then run the smoke checklist: sitemap and robots reachable, meta tags correct, GA4 realtime flowing, mobile responsive, 404 page working

## FAQ
### Is this only for marketing sites, or can I scaffold a web app with it?
It's purpose-built for client marketing sites: the typed data model revolves around services, cities, pricing, and FAQ content, and the URL architecture is prepared for district-times-service pSEO pages. An app with dashboards and user accounts needs a different skeleton.

### What does data-driven content mean in practice when I need to change a price?
Every page reads from typed data files instead of hardcoded strings, so a price change is an edit to one data file, no component code touched. Because the types are checked at build time, a malformed entry fails the build instead of shipping broken to production.

### Does it come with a CMS my client can log into?
No. Content lives in typed data files inside the repo, so edits are commits made by whoever maintains the code. If a client needs self-serve editing, wiring a CMS on top is an extra project, deliberately left out to keep the four-hour scaffold honest.
