Need dedicated Vue.js developers and small front-end teams? Devvista is a software development and growth agency that provides them to clients in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and the UAE. Choose hourly hours, a small team, or a fixed price.
Vue, as vuejs.org puts it, is a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces, designed to be flexible and incrementally adoptable. Below: what we build with it, how Vue compares with React and Angular, the cost, how to check a developer and how hiring works from your country.
What our Vue.js developers build
Customer dashboards and portals
Screens where customers see usage, orders or documents, with sign-in, filters and exports, built against an API you already have or one we build with you.
Internal admin tools
Back-office screens for staff: tables, forms, approvals and reports that replace spreadsheets, with roles that limit who sees what.
Storefronts and marketing sites
Fast pages for products and campaigns, using Nuxt where server rendering helps search and first load.
Adding Vue to an existing site
Because Vue can be adopted step by step, we can add an interactive search, a configurator or a checkout step to a site you already run, without a rewrite.
Component libraries
A set of reusable screens and controls, so a second app or a new developer starts from tested pieces. See our hire front-end developers page for design-system work.
Vue, React or Angular: which front end should you hire for?
The descriptions come from the projects themselves. The last row is our view, and the right pick depends on your team and the app, not on a ranking.
| Point | Vue | React | Angular |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A JavaScript framework for building user interfaces (vuejs.org) | A JavaScript library for user interfaces, usually paired with other tools | A framework for building scalable web apps (angular.dev) |
| How you adopt it | Flexible and incrementally adoptable, so it can grow with a site | Usually adopted through a framework or a build setup | A full framework with its own structure from the start |
| Strong fit when | You want a gentle path, or to add features to an existing site | Your team already knows it or shares code with a React Native app | You want a strict structure for a large team |
| Check before you decide | Who on your side can review Vue code | Which framework or tools sit around it | Whether the structure suits your team size |
Our guide to choosing between React and Angular covers two of the three in more depth, and the hire React developers page covers the other path.
What it costs and how you can hire
Rates for Vue.js developers follow one scale: hourly from $10 to $100, or fixed from $500 up to $100,000 depending on scope. We state the price before work starts, in US dollars.
| Model | Best for | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Vue.js developer by the hour | Steady front-end work on a live product, month after month | By developer level |
| Small Vue.js team | A web app with a designer and tester joining the developer from day one | Hourly, per person |
| Fixed-price build | A web app whose screens and rules are written down first | By complexity |
| Scoping first | You know the users and the goal but not the screens or the API | A short engagement that ends in a written spec |
Illustration (an estimate, not a quote): a customer dashboard for a SaaS product with sign-in, usage charts, invoices and a settings area, at an assumed $40 an hour:
| Work | Hours |
|---|---|
| Discovery and written spec | 16 |
| Component set and layout | 30 |
| Sign-in and account screens | 26 |
| Usage charts and filters | 34 |
| Invoices and exports | 24 |
| API connection and error states | 28 |
| Automated tests | 22 |
| Launch and handover | 10 |
| Total | 190 hours, about $7,600 at $40 an hour |
Remove the charts and the total falls sharply; add a second language and it climbs. Send your screen list and we will price your own dashboard.
Which Vue.js developer profile you need
Front-end work spans design systems, data-heavy screens and performance, and few people are strongest at all three.
| Profile | What they do | Ask to see |
|---|---|---|
| Vue developer | Builds screens and state from a design and connects them to an API | A Vue app and how its state is organised |
| Nuxt developer | Builds server-rendered pages for search and fast first load | A rendered site and how it caches pages |
| Design-system engineer | Builds reusable components with consistent behaviour | A component library and its tests |
| Front-end lead | Sets structure and review rules for a team of developers | A repository layout and review checklist |
Common situations and what to hire
Vue suits a few situations well, and the arrangement follows from them.
| Your situation | What to hire | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A site you already run that needs one interactive feature | A small fixed-price project | Vue can be added step by step, so only that feature is built |
| A SaaS dashboard that has grown messy | A front-end lead by the hour, then a small team | Structure and tests come first, so new screens stop making old ones break |
| A new product with a designer but no developers | A small team: Vue developer plus a tester | The design is built into reusable components from the first screen |
What the first month of a Vue.js hire looks like
- Week one: repository and design access, a written screen list, and the component set agreed.
- Week two: the first two screens built against a mock API, shown on a working link.
- Week three: the real API connected, with loading, empty and error states handled.
- Week four: tests on the key screens, a performance check on a phone, and a review against the spec.
How to check any Vue.js developer before you hire
Put these to any candidate, from any company. Strong answers are concrete and admit what a choice costs.
- How do you structure state in a Vue app as it grows beyond a few screens?
- When would you use server rendering, and when is a client-only app enough?
- How do you test components and whole screens?
- How do you keep the bundle small and the first load fast on a phone?
- How do you handle loading, empty and error states, and not only the happy path?
- Who owns the repository, the build pipeline and the hosting after handover?
- Ask for a small paid trial task before you commit: a single screen with a form, a list and an API call, with a test and a note on its error states.
Be wary of a promised outcome. Delivery depends on scope, access and decisions on your side as well.
Mistakes to avoid when hiring Vue.js developers
Front-end hires disappoint for a few repeatable reasons.
- Choosing the framework before knowing who will maintain the code in a year.
- Skipping error and empty states, so the app looks finished and fails on first real use.
- Ignoring the phone: a dashboard that only works on a wide monitor.
- Accepting a build with no tests, then fearing every change.
Hiring from the US, UK, Australia, Canada and the UAE
We serve Vue.js developers clients across five markets, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the UAE, remotely. Hours that overlap your working day are agreed before the start.
Who this is for, and who it is not
| A good fit | Not a fit |
|---|---|
| A company that needs a web app, dashboard or storefront front end and can show a design or a screen list | A request for a guaranteed ranking, traffic or conversion lift |
| A team adding a Vue developer by the hour to a live product | A project that depends on developers working in your office |
| Owners who approve a written scope and review a working build every stage | A single landing page, which a builder or WordPress serves cheaply |
