Static Site Development with Next.js is a hands-on course designed to teach developers how to create blazing-fast, scalable, and search-engine-optimized static websites using one of today’s most popular React frameworks—Next.js.

You’ll start with the fundamentals of getting started with Next.js, including its powerful file-based routing system and zero-config setup. As you progress, you’ll master various rendering strategies—focusing especially on Static Site Generation (SSG)—to ensure your content loads instantly and performs well across all devices.

The course walks you through best practices for styling and building reusable components, enabling clean and maintainable design systems. You’ll also learn how to incorporate Markdown-based content and connect to a headless CMS, ideal for content-rich static sites like blogs, documentation, or marketing pages.

You’ll dive deep into SEO essentials, leveraging Next.js’s support for metadata configuration, open graph tags, and accessibility enhancements that ensure your sites are discoverable, performant, and inclusive.

In the final modules, you’ll explore advanced Next.js features such as image optimization, dynamic routing, and incremental static regeneration (ISR). Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy and host your site using platforms like Vercel, Netlify, or traditional hosting environments.

 

By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to build and launch high-performance static websites that meet the latest web standards for speed, usability, and search visibility.

What is the difference between static site generation and server-side rendering in Next.js?
Static Site Generation (SSG) pre-renders content at build time, making it faster and more cacheable, ideal for blogs and marketing sites. The course explains when and why to use SSG versus other methods like Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Client-Side Rendering (CSR).
Can I use a headless CMS with static Next.js sites?
Absolutely. The course includes instruction on integrating Markdown-based content and connecting to headless CMS platforms, enabling dynamic content updates with static performance.
How does this course help with SEO?
Next.js has built-in support for metadata, open graph tags, and fast load times—all key to modern SEO. The course covers best practices to ensure your site is indexable, shareable, and optimized for search engines.
Will I learn how to make my static site accessible?
Yes! Accessibility is a core component of the course. You'll learn how to build inclusive experiences by applying accessibility principles and using built-in Next.js features and ARIA standards.
What kind of sites can I build with this course?
This course is ideal for building blogs, portfolios, documentation sites, landing pages, and marketing websites—anything that benefits from speed, SEO, and ease of deployment.
Does the course include deployment instructions?
Yes. You’ll learn how to deploy your site using platforms like Vercel (the creators of Next.js), Netlify, and other static hosting services. The course also includes tips for custom domain setup and CI/CD.
Will I learn about performance optimization?
Definitely. You’ll explore advanced Next.js features like image optimization, code splitting, and incremental static regeneration to make your site as fast and efficient as possible.
Is there a final project or hands-on component?
Yes! You’ll build a fully functional static website using everything you've learned—from routing and components to markdown content, SEO, and deployment.
Do I get a certificate upon completion?
Yes. Upon completing the course, you’ll receive a Texas-Academy Certificate in Static Site Development with Next.js that you can showcase in your portfolio or LinkedIn profile.
