Why We Use TypeScript on Startup Websites

TypeScript is not only for huge codebases. On marketing sites and MVPs it catches integration bugs early and makes handoffs safer.

Real Benefits for Small Teams

• Safer CMS and API integrations

• Better autocomplete and faster onboarding

• Fewer “undefined is not a function” surprises after refactors

• Clear contracts between UI, forms, and backend data

Common Objections

“It slows us down.” Only if types are over-modelled. Start simple and tighten where data crosses boundaries.

“It is just a brochure site.” Brochure sites still have forms, analytics, feature flags, and CMS shapes that break silently without types.

Our Default

TypeScript + Next.js is our default for new builds. It keeps quality high as the site evolves into a real product surface.
