Frontend development in Cyprus — from landing to web app

Start with one question: does your site need public search?

Most frontend decisions flow from a single fork in the road. If your pages must be indexed by Google and found by people searching for your services, you need server-side rendering — that means Next.js on React or Nuxt on Vue. Public sites, landing pages, e-commerce storefronts, blogs: SSR is non-negotiable. If you're building a dashboard, admin panel, or client portal that sits behind a login, search engines never see it. Pure React or Vue on the client side is lighter, faster to ship, and cheaper to run. Limassol, Nicosia and Paphos clients often come to us with a public site and a private portal in the same brief — we split the stack accordingly.

Which frontend framework fits your project

The right choice depends on your team, your roadmap, and how long you plan to live with the code:

• Next.js → the default for public React sites. SSR, static generation, image optimisation, and a hiring pool that covers half the market. From €2490 for a marketing site
• React (client-side) → dashboards, admin tools, internal apps. The largest ecosystem, the most libraries, the easiest team to grow. From €1490 for a focused SPA
• Nuxt → Vue with SSR. Gentler learning curve, excellent for content-heavy sites and teams coming from HTML/CSS. From €2290
• Vue (client-side) → the pragmatic middle ground. Easier to embed into an existing project, cheaper to maintain than a React codebase of equal size. From €1490
• Svelte → the smallest bundle, the best Core Web Vitals out of the box. Ideal for landing pages where speed is the whole brief. From €1790
• Custom architecture → multiple frameworks, micro-frontends, or unusual rendering strategies. From €8900, scoped per milestone

We'll audit your current site and traffic before recommending anything. If a static export does the job, we won't sell you a server.

What frontend development costs in Cyprus

Realistic budgets for the region, based on scope and stack:

• Freelance developers: €300-1500. A single page or small tweak. No design system, no testing, no handover docs
• Local agencies in Cyprus: €3000-15000. Solid output, but timelines stretch and post-launch changes are billed hourly.
• International dev shops: €20000-80000. Enterprise-grade process, often overkill for a regional business.
• 62px: €1490-8900. From a focused React dashboard to a full Next.js marketing site with a component library, with a 62% discount for case study publication consent.

Every project includes: technical audit of the current site, setup of the build and deployment pipeline, responsive implementation from Figma or a design system we build with you, Core Web Vitals optimisation, accessibility pass, and 30 days of post-launch support.

How long does frontend development take?

Timelines scale with the number of templates and interactive features, not just page count:

• 1-2 weeks — landing page on Svelte or a static Next.js site with 3-5 templates
• 2-4 weeks — marketing site with a CMS, blog, and basic animations on Next.js or Nuxt
• 4-6 weeks — e-commerce storefront with cart, checkout flow, and payment integration
• 6-10 weeks — client portal or dashboard with authentication, real-time data, and role-based views
• 10-16 weeks — multi-brand platform, micro-frontends, or a full design system rollout

Deadlines are fixed in the contract. If we slip on our side, we compensate. Eight years in, nearly every frontend project has shipped on time or early.

What actually affects results more than the framework

The framework debate gets the attention; these get the results:

• Core Web Vitals — LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1. We measure on real devices, not just Lighthouse in a clean lab
• Mobile behaviour — over 70% of Cyprus traffic is mobile. We test on mid-range Android phones and throttled 4G, not just Wi-Fi
• Accessibility — semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus states, ARIA where it matters. It's not a checkbox; it's the difference between a site that works and one that excludes
• Multilingual readiness — Greek, English, Russian. We build with i18n from day one, not bolted on after launch
• Performance budget — we set a kilobyte budget per page before design starts. It changes what gets built

A well-built Svelte site with a 4MB hero video will lose to a disciplined React site that keeps its total weight under 400KB. Framework is a tool; discipline is the strategy.

Design systems and component libraries

The first project pays for the build. The second and third projects pay almost nothing extra:

• Buttons, forms, cards, modals, tables — built once, documented, versioned
• Design tokens for colours, spacing, typography — change one value, update everywhere
• Storybook or equivalent — your team sees every component in isolation
• Accessibility built into the components, not audited per page
• New pages assembled from existing parts — a landing page can take days, not weeks

If you plan to launch more than one site or keep a product evolving for years, a component library is the single highest-ROI frontend investment. We build them on top of the framework you choose, so they fit your stack instead of fighting it.

Post-launch support

30 days free support after launch — we answer questions, polish details, fix bugs. After that, support packages from €190/month: dependency updates, small tweaks, new components, performance monitoring, and adjustments when third-party APIs change. Hourly work for larger features is scoped and quoted individually.
