Hire a Next.js developer when the website itself is the product: a site that has to load quickly on a phone in a car park, appear in Google in two languages, and hold pages that are generated from your own data rather than typed one by one. The rate is 10 KWD per hour, hours are agreed in writing before work starts, and the first consultation hour is free.
Why Kuwait businesses end up here
Three complaints bring people to this page. The site is slow, and visitors leave before the first screen appears. The Arabic version is a translation bolted onto an English layout, so it reads badly and ranks worse. Or the site has outgrown a page builder, because every new branch, property, course or product means another page somebody has to build by hand.
Next.js handles the first two by sending finished pages to the browser instead of asking the phone to assemble them, and the third by generating pages from one source of content. That is the whole argument, and it only matters when one of those three complaints is yours. If none of them is, WordPress will cost you less.
What the developer builds
- Two genuine language versions, each with its own addresses, its own titles and descriptions, and links between pages of the same language. Not a flag icon that swaps the words.
- Arabic that looks deliberate: correct line height, numerals handled consistently, and a layout that mirrors instead of a right-aligned copy of the English design. This is the core of bilingual website work.
- Pages built from your data. Branches, listings, staff profiles, menus, a catalogue, each with its own address so Google can send people straight to it.
- Forms that go where you actually read messages, which in Kuwait usually means WhatsApp rather than an email inbox nobody opens.
- Speed treated as a number, not an opinion, with a before and after you can check yourself.
How the engagement works
The free first hour is with an engineer. Bring your current site, the phrases you want to be found for in both languages, and who inside your company will keep the content updated. You get back a written scope with an hours range, and the order of work.
From there the developer runs on hours, logged weekly and visible to you, inside KuwaitDev’s product team so a product engineer and a technical architect review the work. Every change gets a preview link before it goes live. The domain, the hosting and the code stay in your company’s name. If the job grows past one developer, the wider web development practice continues at the same rate.
What it costs
Hours times 10 KWD. A bilingual marketing site with lead capture:
| Work | Hours | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Content plan and structure in both languages | 5 | 50 KWD |
| Design turned into working pages | 17 | 170 KWD |
| Arabic right-to-left pass and typography | 7 | 70 KWD |
| Forms, WhatsApp handoff and CRM connection | 5 | 50 KWD |
| Search setup, speed work and launch | 8 | 80 KWD |
| Total | 42 | 420 KWD |

How to start
Open your current site on your own phone, on mobile data, and time it. Bring that number to the free hour along with the pages you wish existed. If most of the work turns out to be interface rather than pages and search, hiring a React developer may suit you better, and we will point you there.
