03 / web platform engineering

Platforms, not brochure sites.

Engineering-led web work: performance, security, integrations and someone accountable for hosting. Built on Next.js and a headless CMS, deployed to AWS or Vercel, with an SLA behind it.

AI builders have made brochure sites nearly free, and that is fine. If you need five pages and a contact form, you do not need us and we will say so.

What has held its value is the engineering-led work: platforms that integrate with your systems, pass a security review, load fast on a bad connection, and have a named engineer accountable when something breaks at 2am. That is the only kind of web work TrusTrak takes on.

Every platform ships with security headers, CI/CD with preview deployments, infrastructure as code and hosting that produces the evidence your compliance work needs. This site is built the same way.

who it is for
  • Organisations whose website is a product, a portal or a sales channel rather than a leaflet
  • Teams whose current site has failed a security questionnaire, a performance audit or a procurement review
  • Charities and membership bodies with member portals, forms and integrations that have outgrown WordPress plugins
  • SaaS and fintech firms that need a marketing and docs platform that passes the same scrutiny as their product
what is included

Web platform build

scoped per build

Next.js with a headless CMS, designed with your team, integrated with your systems and deployed to AWS or Vercel through CI/CD. Accessibility, performance budgets and security headers are part of the definition of done.

Performance and security audit

fixed scope

Core Web Vitals, security headers, dependency risk, hosting configuration and the things a penetration tester would find first. A prioritised fix list, or a deep engineering audit when the platform is complex.

Hosting, security and care retainer

monthly

Monitoring, patching, dependency updates, backups and an SLA, with a monthly report you can forward to your compliance lead.

Integrations

as needed

CRM, payments, identity, email, analytics and internal APIs, built with the same security model as the rest of the platform.

how it runs
  1. 01
    Readiness call

    What the platform has to do, who it serves and what it has to pass.

  2. 02
    Audit or discovery

    Existing platform audited, or requirements and integrations mapped for a new build.

  3. 03
    Build

    Short iterations with preview deployments, so you see real pages early and often.

  4. 04
    Harden and launch

    Security headers, performance budgets, accessibility checks and a launch runbook.

  5. 05
    Care

    Retainer with monitoring, patching and an SLA, or a documented handover.

what you get out of it
  • A platform that passes security questionnaires without a scramble
  • Pages that load fast on mobile and score well on Core Web Vitals
  • Deployments your team can make safely, with previews and rollbacks
  • Hosting with a named engineer and an SLA, not a ticket queue
questions we get asked
We just need a simple website. Can you do that?

Probably not the right fit, and we would rather tell you than sell you something you do not need. We will point you at a good option on the call.

Why Next.js?

It gives us server rendering, static generation, image optimisation and a mature security story in one framework, and it deploys cleanly to both Vercel and AWS. Your content lives in a headless CMS your team can edit.

Can you take over an existing site?

Yes, usually starting with the audit. Sometimes the answer is a set of fixes and a care retainer rather than a rebuild.

Who owns the code?

You do. It lives in your repository from day one.
