What is Vue.js & Nuxt
Progressive framework. Production-ready meta-framework.
Starting from
£3,000
Flat quote · No prepayment · 3–10 wk delivery
Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces — approachable, performant, and scalable. Nuxt 3 is the production meta-framework built on Vue, adding SSR, SSG, hybrid rendering, and file-based routing. WebAnts is a London Vue.js and Nuxt agency building custom web applications for SaaS startups, fintech companies, professional services firms, and ecommerce brands.
Vue 3's Composition API and TypeScript-first architecture make it excellent for custom web applications and SaaS platforms — Pinia replaces Vuex for clean state management, and Nuxt adds the server-side rendering and SEO tooling your marketing site needs.
We handle Vue/Nuxt rebuilds and redesigns, Vue 2 to Vue 3 migrations, Nuxt headless CMS builds with Sanity, Contentful, or Strapi, and full-stack API integrations. Flat written quote after a free 30-minute discovery call.
Why Vue.js & Nuxt
Six reasons Vue and Nuxt win on the right project.
Approachable learning curve. First-class TypeScript. Nuxt SSR from day one. Vue 3 and Nuxt are production-grade choices for teams that value maintainability.
01
Gentle learning curve — fastest to onboard new devs
Vue 3's progressive, approachable design means new developers get productive faster than on React or Angular. Single-file components keep HTML, CSS and JavaScript together in one clear file, reducing context-switching and making onboarding straightforward for growing teams.
02
Composition API for maintainable, scalable code
Vue 3's Composition API lets you organise logic by feature rather than lifecycle hook — composables extract and reuse behaviour cleanly across components. The result is codebases that scale without becoming unmaintainable, and that junior developers can navigate confidently six months later.
03
Nuxt 3 for SSR, SSG and hybrid rendering
Nuxt 3 adds a full meta-framework on top of Vue — file-based routing, server-side rendering, static site generation, and hybrid rendering per route. It is the fastest route to a production-ready Vue application with SEO baked in from day one, rather than bolted on afterwards.
04
Pinia for predictable state management
Pinia is the official Vue 3 state management library — lighter, more TypeScript-friendly, and easier to debug than Vuex. Stores are typed, tree-shakable, and devtools-ready out of the box. Managing complex application state becomes straightforward rather than a maintenance burden.
05
First-class TypeScript support in Vue 3
Vue 3 was rewritten in TypeScript and ships with first-class TS support throughout — components, composables, Pinia stores, and Nuxt server routes are all fully typed. Fewer runtime errors, better IDE autocompletion, and a codebase significantly easier to maintain and hand over.
06
Huge European and Asian developer ecosystem
Vue has a disproportionately large developer community in Europe and Asia. For London businesses that need to hire developers or work with international partners, Vue's ecosystem makes sourcing talent easier — you are not locked into a single agency indefinitely.
What we build
12 Vue.js & Nuxt services.
From a Nuxt marketing site to a complex Vue 3 platform — all built in-house in London with TypeScript and a proper handover.
01
Custom Vue 3 Web App Development
Bespoke Vue 3 single-page applications built with Composition API, TypeScript and Pinia — from SaaS dashboards and admin panels to customer portals and internal tools. Clean component architecture your team can extend without breaking.
02
Nuxt 3 Marketing Site
Performance-first marketing sites built on Nuxt 3 with SSR or SSG, file-based routing, and a headless CMS for your content team. Core Web Vitals pass, JSON-LD schema, and sitemap out of the box — ranking from day one.
03
Nuxt + Headless CMS (Sanity / Contentful / Strapi)
Nuxt 3 frontends wired to your choice of headless CMS — Sanity, Contentful, or Strapi. Structured content schemas, content types mapped to Nuxt pages, and live preview configured for your editors. Your marketing team publishes; developers never touch the CMS day-to-day.
04
Vue.js Dashboard & Admin Panel
Complex data dashboards, admin interfaces and internal tools built in Vue 3 — charts, tables, filters, role-based access control and real-time updates. TypeScript throughout, REST or GraphQL API integration, and a design system your team can extend.
05
Vue Composition API Refactor
If your Vue 2 codebase is built on the Options API and has become hard to maintain, we refactor it to Composition API — extracting logic into composables, improving testability, and leaving you with a codebase that is easier to hire for and extend.
06
Vue 2 to Vue 3 Migration
Vue 2 reached end-of-life in December 2023. We migrate Vue 2 applications to Vue 3 — updating the API surface, migrating Vuex to Pinia, replacing deprecated lifecycle hooks, and updating third-party dependencies. Full audit before work begins.
07
Nuxt SSR & SSG Configuration
We configure Nuxt rendering modes to match your use case — SSR for dynamic content requiring real-time data, SSG for marketing pages pre-rendered for speed, and hybrid mode for applications needing both. Performance profiling and deployment pipeline included.
08
Vue.js with REST or GraphQL API
Vue 3 and Nuxt frontends wired to REST APIs or GraphQL endpoints — with typed API clients, error handling, loading states, caching via Nuxt useAsyncData, and proper request deduplication. Whether your API is internal, third-party, or both.
09
Vue + Pinia State Management
We design and implement Pinia store architecture for Vue and Nuxt applications — splitting stores by domain, configuring devtools, setting up server-side state hydration for Nuxt, and writing typed actions and getters your team can use and test confidently.
10
Vue.js TypeScript Migration
We migrate JavaScript Vue projects to TypeScript — adding types to components, composables, Pinia stores, and API layers. Strict mode configured, TSConfig tuned, and all team members briefed on the patterns. Runtime errors drop significantly after migration.
11
Nuxt Performance Optimisation (Core Web Vitals)
We audit and optimise Nuxt applications for Core Web Vitals — lazy loading components, optimising image delivery, eliminating render-blocking resources, configuring Nuxt Image and proper code-splitting. Target: LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1.
12
Vue / Nuxt Maintenance & Retainers
Monthly retainers covering Vue and Nuxt dependency updates, bug fixes, feature additions, performance monitoring, and security patches. Block-of-hours or fixed monthly scope — response within one business day on all plans.

Migrations & upgrades
Moving to Vue 3 or Nuxt from another platform?
We migrate Vue 2 applications to Vue 3, port React apps to Vue, and move WordPress sites to Nuxt headless — all content, SEO equity, and 301 redirects handled.
Vue 2 to Vue 3 Migration
Vue 2 reached end-of-life in December 2023 and is no longer receiving security patches. We audit your Vue 2 codebase, migrate to the Vue 3 API surface, replace Vuex with Pinia, update deprecated lifecycle hooks, and update all third-party dependencies. Migration report included before work begins.
Nuxt Pages Router to App Router Upgrade
Nuxt 3 differs significantly from Nuxt 2. We migrate Nuxt 2 projects to Nuxt 3 — updating the routing model, migrating composables, updating server-side logic to Nitro, and configuring the new rendering modes. Your Nuxt application emerges faster, more maintainable, and on a supported framework.
React to Vue.js Port
Some teams prefer Vue over React for its gentler learning curve, cleaner templates, or better fit with their existing PHP or Laravel backend. We port React applications to Vue 3 — translating component patterns, migrating state management from Redux or Zustand to Pinia, and preserving all existing functionality.
WordPress + WooCommerce to Nuxt Headless
We migrate content-heavy WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores to a Nuxt 3 headless frontend — with WordPress remaining as the CMS via the REST API or WPGraphQL. Your editors keep their familiar interface; your visitors get a dramatically faster experience. 301 redirects handled throughout.

Framework comparison
Vue vs the alternatives.
We build on multiple frameworks. Here is an honest four-way comparison — React, Next.js, Angular, Svelte — so you can make the right call for your project.
| vs Framework | Vue wins on | They win on | Choose Vue when |
|---|---|---|---|
| React | Gentler learning curve, cleaner single-file components, built-in reactivity without hooks complexity, smaller bundle for comparable apps | Larger global ecosystem, React Native for mobile, more job postings, Meta and Vercel backing | Your team is new to frontend frameworks or you want a codebase that junior developers can maintain without senior supervision |
| Next.js | Vue template syntax is more approachable, Nuxt has equivalent SSR/SSG with a cleaner routing model, less configuration boilerplate | Larger agency ecosystem in the UK, React component library compatibility, Vercel native optimisations, App Router RSC architecture | Your team prefers Vue over React, you are building on a Laravel or PHP backend, or you want a framework with a gentler onboarding curve |
| Angular | Far lower initial complexity, faster to prototype and ship, smaller bundle size, no mandatory decorators or DI containers, better suited to smaller teams | Enterprise monorepo tooling (Nx), strict opinionated structure for large teams, Google backing, strong TypeScript integration out of the box | You do not have a large enterprise dev team requiring strict architectural conventions or Angular's dependency injection container |
| Svelte | Larger ecosystem and community, more third-party component libraries, better tooling maturity, wider hiring pool in London | No virtual DOM (smaller runtime overhead), slightly more performant on very small components, Svelte syntax is arguably the simplest of all frameworks | You need a mature ecosystem with broad third-party support and a deep hiring pool for long-term team growth |

FAQ
Vue.js & Nuxt questions, answered directly.
What is Vue.js?
Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications. Created by Evan You in 2014, Vue 3 introduced the Composition API, TypeScript-first architecture, and significant performance improvements. Vue is used in production by companies including Alibaba, GitLab, and Upwork. It is particularly popular in Europe and Asia, and is known for its approachable learning curve and well-structured single-file components.
What is Nuxt?
Nuxt is a meta-framework built on top of Vue.js — similar to how Next.js is built on React. Nuxt 3 adds file-based routing, server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), hybrid rendering per route, a Nitro server for API routes, and a rich module ecosystem. It is the standard choice for production Vue applications requiring SEO performance, fast load times, and full-stack capability.
How much does Vue.js or Nuxt development cost in London?
A Nuxt marketing site or simple Vue SPA from WebAnts starts from £3,000–£6,000 (3–5 weeks). A full web application with authentication, API integration, and a dashboard typically costs £6,000–£14,000 (6–10 weeks). A complex platform or headless ecommerce build costs £14,000–£26,000. Enterprise multi-tenant platforms start from £26,000. Every project receives a flat written quote after a free 30-minute discovery call — no hourly estimates, no deposit.
Vue.js vs React — which should I choose?
Vue.js has a gentler learning curve and cleaner template syntax — ideal for teams new to frontend frameworks or those coming from an HTML/PHP background. React has a larger global ecosystem, more job postings, and React Native for cross-platform mobile. Both are excellent for production applications. WebAnts builds in both — we recommend based on your team's skills, hiring plans, and project requirements. Ask us on the discovery call.
Nuxt vs Next.js — what is the difference?
Nuxt and Next.js are equivalent meta-frameworks for their respective ecosystems — Nuxt for Vue, Next.js for React. Both offer SSR, SSG, hybrid rendering, file-based routing, and API routes. Nuxt uses Vue's template syntax and Composition API; Next.js uses JSX and React hooks. Choose Nuxt if your team prefers Vue or you are building on a Laravel/PHP backend. Choose Next.js if your team is React-first or you need Vercel-native optimisations and the App Router's React Server Components.
What is the Vue 3 Composition API?
The Composition API is Vue 3's primary way of writing component logic — as opposed to the Options API used in Vue 2. With the Composition API you write setup() functions or script setup blocks and organise logic into composables (reusable functions). This makes it much easier to extract and reuse logic across components, improves TypeScript inference, and makes large codebases significantly easier to maintain.
Can Nuxt be used for static sites (SSG)?
Yes. Nuxt 3 supports static site generation (SSG) via nuxt generate — all pages are pre-rendered at build time and can be deployed to any static hosting (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages). For marketing sites and content sites where content does not change per-request, SSG is ideal — pages load from CDN cache with no server round-trip. Nuxt also supports hybrid rendering, where SSG and SSR pages coexist in the same application.
What is Vue 2 and why upgrade to Vue 3?
Vue 2 was the previous major version of Vue.js, widely used from 2016 to 2022. Vue 2 reached end-of-life in December 2023 — it no longer receives security patches, bug fixes, or new features. If your application is still on Vue 2, it is accumulating security risk. Vue 3 brings the Composition API, improved performance, first-class TypeScript support, and the Pinia state management library. WebAnts handles Vue 2 to Vue 3 migrations as a standard service.
Can Vue.js work with a headless CMS?
Yes. Vue and Nuxt integrate cleanly with all major headless CMS platforms — Sanity, Contentful, Storyblok, Strapi, and Prismic. Nuxt 3 makes this particularly ergonomic through useAsyncData and useFetch composables, combined with typed content schemas. We configure the CMS, define content types, map them to Nuxt pages, and set up live preview — so your editors have a familiar interface and your developers have typed content models.
What is Pinia and how does it compare to Vuex?
Pinia is the official Vue 3 state management library, replacing Vuex. Compared to Vuex, Pinia is significantly simpler — no mutations, just state, getters, and actions. It is fully typed with TypeScript out of the box, tree-shakable, and devtools-ready. For new Vue 3 projects we always use Pinia. For Vue 2 to Vue 3 migrations, we migrate Vuex stores to Pinia as part of the upgrade.
How do you handle SEO in Nuxt?
Nuxt 3 provides excellent SEO tooling out of the box — useHead composable for per-page meta tags, useSeoMeta for Open Graph and Twitter cards, Nuxt Sitemap module for auto-generated XML sitemaps, and server-side rendering so search engines see fully-rendered HTML. WebAnts adds JSON-LD structured data (Organization, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), robots.txt configuration, and canonical tags as standard on every Nuxt build.
Can Nuxt handle ecommerce?
Yes. Nuxt can be used as a headless frontend for ecommerce — pulling product data from Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom API and rendering product pages with SSR for SEO. For simple ecommerce, we integrate Stripe directly. For larger catalogues or subscription commerce, we typically use Nuxt as a headless frontend for Shopify or WooCommerce while preserving your SEO equity. We advise the right architecture on the discovery call.
What databases work with Nuxt?
Nuxt 3's Nitro server supports any Node.js-compatible database — PostgreSQL (via Supabase, Neon, or direct), MySQL, MongoDB, SQLite, and Redis. For Nuxt projects requiring a backend, we typically use Supabase (PostgreSQL plus auth and storage), PlanetScale (MySQL), or a separate Node.js/Express API. The choice depends on your existing stack and team familiarity.
How long does a Vue.js web app take to build?
A Nuxt marketing site or simple Vue SPA takes 3–5 weeks. A full Vue 3 web application with authentication, API integration, and dashboards takes 6–10 weeks. A complex multi-module platform with role-based access control and CI/CD takes 10–16 weeks. Enterprise multi-tenant platforms take 16–24 weeks. WebAnts delivers projects roughly 1.8 times faster than the industry average — every project has a fixed delivery date in the proposal.
Can you migrate our Vue 2 project to Vue 3?
Yes. Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration is one of our core services. The process begins with a full codebase audit to identify breaking changes, deprecated patterns, and dependency compatibility issues. We then migrate in phases — core framework update, Vuex to Pinia migration, Options API to Composition API refactor (where beneficial), and dependency updates. Every migration includes a test suite to verify nothing breaks in production.
What is Nuxt 3 and what is new?
Nuxt 3 is a complete rewrite of Nuxt built on Vue 3, Vite, and Nitro. Key improvements include the Nitro server engine (replaces server middleware with a standalone API layer that deploys to Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare Workers), Vite for instant HMR, Vue 3 Composition API throughout, first-class TypeScript support, hybrid rendering (mix SSR and SSG per route), and the useAsyncData and useFetch composables for data fetching with request deduplication.
Can Nuxt be deployed on Vercel?
Yes. Nuxt 3 has first-class Vercel support via the Nuxt Vercel module — SSR pages deploy as Vercel Edge Functions or Serverless Functions, SSG pages deploy to Vercel's CDN, and the Nitro server maps cleanly to Vercel's infrastructure. We configure environment variables, preview deployments, and production domains as part of every Nuxt build.
Do you offer Vue.js and Nuxt maintenance retainers?
Yes. After launch you can take full control yourself — we hand over all source code, documentation, and deployment credentials. Or you can continue with a monthly maintenance retainer covering dependency updates, bug fixes, new feature builds, performance monitoring, and security patches. Retainers are structured as a fixed monthly scope or a block of hours — response within one business day on all plans.
Is Vue.js good for large enterprise applications?
Yes. Vue 3 with TypeScript, Pinia, and a component library scales well to enterprise applications. Companies like Alibaba, GitLab, and Adobe have used Vue in large production systems. That said, for very large teams with complex monorepo requirements and strict architectural conventions, Angular may be a better fit. We will advise honestly on the discovery call based on your team size and requirements.
What is Vue Router?
Vue Router is the official client-side routing library for Vue.js — it maps URL paths to Vue components, supports nested routes, dynamic route parameters, navigation guards for auth, and lazy-loaded routes. In Nuxt, routing is handled automatically via the file system — pages in the /pages directory become routes without any router configuration. For standalone Vue 3 SPAs, we configure Vue Router 4 with typed route parameters and navigation guards.
