Freelance Nuxt developer: Nuxt 4, Vue 3 & TypeScript from Pukalani Studio
Senior-level Nuxt development from Pukalani Studio — bookable as flexibly as a freelancer. We build SaaS frontends, corporate websites and landing pages with Nuxt 4, Vue 3, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS 4 — remote for teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, at fixed project prices. Behind the studio is David Schubert, senior UI/UX designer and creative technologist with more than 25 years of web experience. What makes it different: design and development come from the same pair of hands.

This page is aimed at digital agencies and development teams. Looking for design, concept or a complete web presence, explained without the jargon? Head over to the design portfolio.
Why Nuxt for your project?
Nuxt is the leading full-stack framework for Vue: server-side rendering for SEO and fast load times, automatic code splitting, a mature module ecosystem and TypeScript support out of the box. For marketing websites, that means better rankings; for web apps, shorter development time.
SEO & performance
Server-side rendering and prerendering give search engines and AI crawlers complete HTML — plus fast load times (Core Web Vitals) for users and rankings.
One framework for everything
Marketing site, web app and API routes in one project: the Nitro server, file-based routing and automatic code splitting reduce complexity and cost.
Future-proof & maintainable
TypeScript, a clear project structure and the large Nuxt module ecosystem (Image, i18n, Sitemap, Content) keep the codebase maintainable — including for your team after handover.
Nuxt development: services
From the landing page to a web app with a backend: we classify every project as an experience website, an app or a hybrid — and that determines the right technical setup.
SaaS frontends & web apps (app)
from €25,000
Dashboards and applications with Nuxt UI, Pinia and Appwrite as the backend (auth, database, storage, realtime). Type-safe with TypeScript and Zod validation.
Hybrid projects & design systems
Fixed price based on scope
A marketing site plus an app section in one codebase, with a shared component library and design tokens — reusable across projects as a Nuxt layer.
Audits, rescues & migrations
from €2,500
Performance audits of existing Nuxt/Vue projects, taking over stalled projects or migrating to Nuxt 4 — including the move to the Composition API and TypeScript.
Our Nuxt stack in detail
A deliberately lean, modern stack — TypeScript throughout, Composition API and CSS-first. No legacy patterns, no Options API.
- Framework
- Nuxt 4 with Vue 3, Composition API only (script setup with TypeScript) — no Options API, no legacy code.
- UI & styling
- Nuxt UI and Tailwind CSS 4 (CSS-first with @theme tokens) — consistent design systems, dark mode included.
- State & data
- Pinia for state management, Pinia Colada for the data layer, Zod/Valibot for validation at every system boundary.
- Backend
- Appwrite (auth, database, storage, realtime, functions) as the backend-as-a-service layer — or integration with your existing API.
- Animation
- GSAP (ScrollTrigger, SplitText, Flip) and Lenis smooth scroll for polished, performant experience websites.
- Quality & deployment
- TypeScript strict (no any), WCAG 2.1 AA, Core Web Vitals as an acceptance criterion. Deployment on Hetzner (PM2, Nginx) or your own infrastructure.
Design + code: We design the interfaces we build — design and code stay in the same senior hands. There is no handoff between designer and developer. That cuts coordination overhead and saves time and budget.
Frequently asked questions about Nuxt development
What does a freelance Nuxt developer cost?
We work with fixed project prices instead of hourly rates: landing pages from €5,000, corporate websites €15,000–35,000, SaaS frontends from €25,000, audits and migrations from €2,500. After the free intro call you get a fixed-price quote with a defined scope within 48 hours.
Nuxt or Next.js — which is better?
Both are mature full-stack frameworks. Nuxt (Vue) wins on a gentler learning curve, very good developer experience and lean code; Next.js (React) on the larger ecosystem. If your team already knows Vue or the project is starting fresh, Nuxt is usually the more efficient choice. What matters is clean execution — not the logo on the framework.
Do you take over existing Nuxt or Vue projects?
Yes. We take over existing codebases, start with a technical audit (structure, performance, dependencies) and then quote a fixed price for further development, refactoring or migration to Nuxt 4.
Do you do the design as well?
Yes — that is what sets us apart: design and implementation come from the same pair of hands, both at senior level. No friction between Figma and code, no duplicated review loops. On request we also work with your existing design team and implement their Figma designs.
Do you also work inside our development team?
Yes. We integrate into existing teams (Git workflow, code reviews, Slack/Linear) or work independently with regular reviews. Collaboration is remote and documented asynchronously — we schedule video calls for the CET evening.
Do you migrate Nuxt 2 or Nuxt 3 projects to Nuxt 4?
Yes. The process: a technical audit of the existing app, a migration plan with an effort estimate, then a step-by-step migration (Composition API, TypeScript, new directory structure) with tests along the way. Fixed price after the audit — from €2,500 for smaller apps.
