Hire Next.js developers
App Router, RSC, ISR, Vercel, TypeScript
Discuss Next.js development support for the work your team needs. Share the current project, required skills and collaboration hours so the proposed role and relevant experience can be reviewed. Profiles can be supplied within 48 hours. Developer allocation and the start date depend on discussion and agreement.
Availability and start dates are confirmed after we review your requirements. Use the form to request profiles.
Roles & ratesPublished fees are starting rates. The proposal confirms the named engineer, required experience, responsibilities and final fee. Monthly rates reserve 160 hours; hourly engagements have a 40-hour minimum.
A dedicated Next.js developer can support an ongoing website or application backlog when your team has someone to set priorities and review the work. Define the existing application, framework version, rendering approach, content sources and integrations before selecting the role.
The skills you need depend on the work. A content website, storefront and authenticated dashboard have different requirements for editing, data access, testing and deployment. Include important URLs, existing features and performance concerns in the brief. Use the Next.js development page to compare a project scope with an ongoing engineering role.
Interview the proposed engineer against tasks from the actual backlog. Ask them to explain a previous implementation, describe the trade-offs and show how they approach testing and review. Confirm relevant experience and availability before agreeing the engagement.
Before onboarding, identify who owns architecture decisions, provides access and approves releases. Agree the first deliverables, meeting windows, documentation and handover expectations. Work should be reviewable through your repositories and project tools, with responsibilities clear to both teams.
What they do
App Router applications
New builds on Next.js 16. Server Components, streaming, route handlers, Partial Prerendering, typed end to end.
Migrations that keep rankings
WordPress, Gatsby, CRA and Pages Router codebases moved route by route, with the redirect map written before the first commit.
Headless commerce front-ends
Shopify Hydrogen, Medusa and commercetools storefronts with revalidated product pages, faceted search and edge caching.
Core Web Vitals rescue
LCP, INP and CLS debugged on real handsets: bundle analysis, image and font strategy, third-party script triage, and RUM left running afterwards.
Design systems in React
Component libraries on Tailwind or CSS variables, documented in Storybook, with accessible primitives that survive the next rebrand.
CMS and API integration
Sanity, Payload, Strapi, Contentful or headless WordPress, wired up with preview, revalidation and schemas an editor cannot break.

How to hire

Framework version, router, hosting, and what has to ship next quarter. A repository link tells us more than a job description, but three sentences in an email will do.

Each CV comes with something they actually shipped: a public repo, a pull request walkthrough, or a Lighthouse trace from a live site. Rate and earliest start date on the same page.
Run your own interview2–4 days
Set a live task, ask about caching, ask for references. Agree assessment scope and any work before starting.
Fifteen days on your backlogDays 1–15
A real ticket in week one and a rendering or performance decision documented by week two. If the fit is wrong, discuss replacement or cancellation under the agreed proposal. Onboarding work is paid.
Embed properly, then scaleOngoing
NDA and IP assignment before the first commit, accounts provisioned, stand-up in your timezone from week one. Add people or pause on 30 days' notice.
FAQ
Do your Next.js developers work in the App Router or the Pages Router?
App Router with React Server Components for all new work since 2024. Several of the team still maintain Pages Router codebases and can plan an incremental upgrade route by route, which is nearly always cheaper than the rewrite somebody will propose.
Can one developer handle both the front end and the API?
Usually yes. Route handlers, Prisma or Drizzle and PostgreSQL are part of the standard skill set here. If your backend is Django, Laravel or .NET you will want a second engineer for it, so say so in the brief and we will suggest the pairing rather than overselling one person.
How do you check they can actually do the job before you send the CV?
An internal technical test, a live pairing session on a real bug, and a reference check from the last engagement. Then you run your own interview. We would genuinely rather you rejected a profile than accepted one on our say-so.
What happens if the developer leaves mid-project?
If an engineer leaves, agree the replacement, notice and handover requirements under the engagement terms. Repository access and a documented handover help another engineer continue the work.
Will they migrate our WordPress site without losing traffic?
A migration needs a URL and content inventory, relevant redirects, metadata checks and an agreed launch plan. Monitoring should continue after deployment. Search traffic and rankings cannot be guaranteed. See Next.js development for the project approach.
Can we start with a few hours a week?
Yes. Hourly has a 40-hour minimum and no monthly commitment, which suits code review, an upgrade or covering a gap. For anything with a roadmap attached, the dedicated monthly engagement costs less per hour and gets you the same person every morning.
