Module and dependency audit
Every module checked for a current Nuxt version, with replacements and rewrites listed before work starts.
The Problem
Your Nuxt Site Is Stuck on a Version Nobody Supports
It shows up when a dependency update fails or rankings dip after a deploy. The site still runs on Nuxt 2, and every fix feels like it could break server rendering.
01 · Version
The site runs on Nuxt 2, which gets no more updates.
We migrate to current Nuxt in stages, each tested on a preview URL.
02 · Modules
Old modules have no version for current Nuxt.
We swap each for its current equivalent or a few lines of composable code.
03 · Rendering
Some routes send near-empty HTML to search engines.
We set server, static, or cached rendering per route with routeRules.
04 · Hydration
A hydration mismatch makes pages flicker on load.
We trace each mismatch to its component and make server and browser output match.
Your Vue site runs on Nuxt 2, which stopped getting updates in mid-2024. Half your modules have no version for current Nuxt, so dependency updates fail the build. A hydration mismatch makes the product grid flicker on load, and nobody can find where it starts. Some routes render on the server and some don't, so search engines index half-empty pages. Your Vue developers know the app well, but none of them has moved a Nuxt site across a major version.
We start with a module audit: what has a current Nuxt version, what Nitro replaces, and what needs rewriting. Then we migrate in stages, swap Vuex for Pinia and the axios module for useFetch, and set rendering per route with routeRules. Every URL keeps working or gets a 301. Search engines get full HTML, and your team gets a codebase with a future.
Off Nuxt 2 for good
A staged migration to current Nuxt, with Pinia, useFetch, and Nitro replacing the old pieces.
Rendering set per route
Server, prerendered, or cached rendering chosen route by route with routeRules.
Built for search traffic
Server HTML, useSeoMeta tags, sitemaps, and 301s, so rankings survive the move.
Our Nuxt Development Services Process
From Module Audit to Launch in Five Clear Steps
You approve the migration stages, the redirect map, and a fixed price first, then click through each stage on a preview before it goes live.
We read your nuxt.config, modules, and store, and list what has a current Nuxt version. You get a migration path, the routes at SEO risk, and the plan that fits your site.
What's Included
What You Get With Nuxt.js Development Services
A Nuxt site on a supported version, rendered for search and deployable anywhere: the audit, the migration, rendering rules, SEO checks, hosting setup, and notes.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites, booking platforms, and stores for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Vue Teams Hire Nuxt Developers Through Us
Moving a live Nuxt site is mostly about not breaking what already ranks. These habits keep the migration safe for your traffic.
Crawl before and after
We crawl your live site before we start and the preview before launch, then compare every title and status code. Missing pages show up before Google finds them.
Stages, not a big bang
We migrate in stages that each ship on a preview URL. Your team can keep fixing content and small bugs while the move happens.
Honest about staying put
If your site is stable and close to retirement, we'll tell you before we quote. Paid extended support for Nuxt 2 can be the cheaper bridge.
Server and browser agree
We fix hydration warnings at their source instead of hiding them behind client-only wrappers. Pages render the same HTML on the server and in the browser.
Notes your team can follow
We document route rules, module choices, and anything we couldn't upgrade. Your next developer reads the notes instead of reverse-engineering the config.
Hosting in your account
Deployments, domains, and environment variables live in accounts you own. You can change them without us, and our access ends whenever you decide.

Good fit
Vue teams still on Nuxt 2
Your site runs on Nuxt 2, which stopped getting updates in 2024, and your module updates now fail because they need a newer Nuxt.
Publishers and booking sites
Your traffic comes from search, so you want to hire Nuxt.js developers who can move the site without losing a single indexed page.
Startups short on Nuxt talent
You want to hire remote Nuxt JS developers for a new Vue product, because local candidates are scarce and slow to hire.
Stores with a Vue storefront
Your storefront is built with Vue, and you need server rendering so product pages load as full HTML for shoppers and crawlers.
Agencies with Nuxt client sites
You maintain Nuxt sites for clients and need a Nuxt JS development company to upgrade them under your agency's name.
Not a fit
Vue app behind a login
Your Vue app sits behind a login, so server rendering adds little. Our Vue.js Development Services page fits single-page apps better.
React team
Your team works in React and plans to maintain the site itself. Our Next.js Development Services page fits those skills better.
Budget under $1,100
You need one small fix on one page of an otherwise healthy site. An hourly freelancer is cheaper for that than our smallest plan.
Full-time seats wanted
You want developers on your payroll for a year or more. A dedicated team or a direct hire suits that better than scoped project work.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Nuxt work with DeveloperLook starts at $1,100 for a fix sprint covering up to 6 routes. A Nuxt 2 migration of up to 40 pages costs $3,500, and a new Nuxt build with a CMS and server routes starts at $7,000. Each price is fixed after a free module audit of your site.
Most Nuxt 2 migrations of up to 40 pages take 4 to 8 weeks. The biggest variable is modules: some have direct replacements, while others need rewriting as composables. Sites with large Vuex stores or custom server middleware take longer, and you see the estimate for each stage before work starts.
You can hire remote Nuxt JS developers through freelance marketplaces, Vue community job boards, staffing agencies, or a development company like ours. Marketplaces suit short tasks, and agencies fill seats. A company suits scoped work like a migration, where review, testing, and handover matter as much as the code.
Yes, when search traffic or first-load speed matters. Nuxt renders Vue pages on the server, so visitors and crawlers get full HTML, and it adds file-based routing and a server engine. For an app behind a login, plain Vue with Vite is simpler, and we'll say so during the audit.
Nuxt 2 reached end of life on June 30, 2024, so it no longer gets fixes from the Nuxt team. It also depends on Vue 2, which lost support at the end of 2023. Nuxt 3 has since reached end of life too, so new work targets Nuxt 4. Old sites still run, but each month adds unpatched dependencies.
Nitro is the server engine inside current Nuxt versions. It runs your server routes and rendering, and it builds the app for a target host through presets: a Node.js server, Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, and others. That's why a Nuxt site can change hosts without rewriting its server code.
Route rules are per-route settings in nuxt.config that decide how each page renders and caches. A blog index can be prerendered, a product page cached and refreshed in the background, and an account page rendered only in the browser. We set them by page type, so speed and freshness match each page.
Not on day one, but plan for it. Pinia is the store the Vue team now recommends, and Nuxt has an official Pinia module. We usually move store modules one at a time during the migration, starting with the ones that block upgraded pages from working.
They shouldn't, if URLs, titles, and rendered HTML stay the same. We crawl your live site first, compare it with the preview before launch, and add a 301 for every URL that changes. After launch, we watch Search Console for crawl errors and fix them during the support window.
You do. Everything lives in your repository and hosting accounts, and you can revoke our access whenever you like. At handover, you get route notes, the redirect map, and a list of the modules we replaced. Your plan covers bug fixes and small changes for 30 to 90 days after go-live.
