Next.js Development in Sur
Next.js showcase sites for Sur's dhow builders and maritime craftsmen
Sur is one of the last places where traditional wooden dhows are still built by hand. Resorts, collectors and enthusiasts around the world are interested, but find little online beyond tourist photos.
We build fast, image-rich sites in Next.js that show the craft, the boats and the builders, and let buyers enquire about commissions, models or restoration work.
Photos that load fast
Large galleries are optimised so they load quickly anywhere in the world, without losing the detail that shows the craftsmanship.
Commissions explained
Pages explain the types of boats and models you build, timelines and how a commission works, with an enquiry form for serious buyers.
