Hire Next.js developers
Next.js gives a React app server rendering, file-based routing and pages that search engines and AI assistants can read. Our Next.js developers work with the App Router, server components, caching and metadata, and they know which parts of a page should render on the server and which should not.
Next.js builds from our work
- United Medical: a physician staffing platform built as four Next.js packages on PostgreSQL and Redis, localised in German
- A car-lease platform for an Australian fleet-leasing company, migrated from .NET MVC to Next.js with Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, TanStack Query and Storybook
- Qoollege: a Next.js App Router and Tailwind platform for higher education, built for Basira
- Water Advisor AI: a Next.js App Router app that turns water quality reports into plain-language summaries
- An asset-management platform for an Australian vehicle auction company, with a Next.js app over CQRS microservices
- apex36tech.com: this site, on the Next.js App Router with structured data on every page
Migrating to Next.js
Moving an older app to Next.js works best in steps, not one big switch. For the fleet-leasing platform, we worked in a four-person team that rebuilt a .NET MVC application in Next.js, with its components documented in Storybook. We plan a migration page by page, keep old URLs working with redirects, and check search traffic before and after each step.
Next.js and SEO
A Next.js site can be fast and still invisible if its titles, canonical URLs, sitemap and structured data are wrong. Our Next.js developers ship those as code, and our AI SEO work uses the same setup to help pages get found by search engines and AI assistants.
Next.js developer rates
- Junior Next.js developer, $20/hr: pages and components from designs, forms and content updates
- Mid-level Next.js developer, $25 to $30/hr: features with data fetching, auth, route handlers and caching
- Senior Next.js developer, $30+/hr: App Router architecture, migrations, performance and SEO setup
