Hire a Next.js developerfor your next build

What happens when you hire a Next.js developer like me

You work with one senior engineer from scope to launch. I write the App Router code, TypeScript, and APIs myself, deploy on Vercel, and carry your SEO over if you're migrating. You get a written scope before the build starts and a codebase another developer can pick up later. Price is scoped per project once I know what you need.

Why teams look for a Next.js developer for hire

If one of these sounds like your week, we should talk. If the right column fits better, I'll say so.

Sounds familiar

  • Your last developer went quiet halfway through the build
  • You moved to a new stack and organic traffic dropped
  • Pages feel slow on phones and the Core Web Vitals report is red
  • The codebase grew fast and nobody can explain how it fits together

Probably a poor fit

  • You need five developers working in parallel from day one
  • A ready-made template already does what you need
  • Nobody on your side can answer product questions during the build
What you get

Custom Next.js development, measured by what ships

A new product in front of users

An App Router app in TypeScript, from the first slice to production, with APIs and code you own.

A migration that keeps your rankings

WordPress or older React moved to Next.js, with every URL kept or redirected so search traffic carries over.

Pages that load fast on phones

Server rendering, caching, and image settings tuned so Core Web Vitals stop costing you visitors.

Editors who keep their tools

Headless WordPress with a Next.js front end. Your team keeps wp-admin. This site runs that setup.

A codebase your team can change

Features, refactors, and code review inside your existing repo, with notes the next developer can follow.

FAQ

Before you hire a Next.js developer

How much does it cost to hire a Next.js developer?+

I scope and price each project after I see what you need. Send the goal, the current site if there is one, and any deadline. You get a written scope and a price for that scope before any work starts.

How long does a Next.js build take?+

It depends on the scope, so the timeline goes into the written scope before you commit. A marketing site moves faster than a product with accounts and payments. Weekly demos show you where things stand the whole way.

Will moving to Next.js hurt my SEO?+

It should not if the migration is planned. I keep every URL or redirect it, carry over titles, descriptions, and schema, rebuild the sitemap, and watch Search Console after launch.

You work solo. What if you get sick or too busy?+

The code lives in your repository and I write handoff docs as I go, so another developer can pick it up. I also say upfront when I am at capacity and turn down work I cannot finish.

Do you work with teams outside Indonesia?+

Yes. I am based in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, and work remotely with clients worldwide in English or Indonesian. Communication is async-first in writing, with call overlap hours agreed at the start.
