Running a software studio with a 50/50 co-founder split and a growing roster of local business clients (clinics, hotels, retail, interiors) taught us one thing fast: you cannot afford a different stack for every project. Here's the setup we landed on at Locallify after building sites for dental clinics, ENT specialists, diagnostics centers, hotels, and interior design studios — and why it's held up.
The core stack
Next.js — server-rendered pages for SEO (critical for local businesses competing on Google), App Router, and easy deployment to Vercel
Supabase — Postgres + auth + storage, without us having to run our own backend for every client
TypeScript — non-negotiable once you're maintaining 10+ codebases with one small team
