Hire a Web Developer
Hire a web developer from Bracket Coder to build a business website or web application that loads fast, stays secure, is ready to rank in search, and actually turns visitors into enquiries and customers. We are a working software agency, not a template shop or a freelance marketplace. Your project is handled by senior engineers led by Sharan Sifat, using the same stack and practices we use for our own products: Next.js and React on the front end, Django and Python on the back end, Postgres for data, and clean, reviewed code from day one.
Whether you call it a web developer or a website developer, the job is the same: ship something that works well for real users and is maintainable after launch. That means a marketing site that scores well on Core Web Vitals, a customer portal with proper authentication, an internal dashboard your team relies on, or a full web app with payments and integrations. Everything we build is real code that you own and can host wherever you like, with no lock-in to a proprietary builder.
What our web developers build
We build the full range of things a business needs on the web: marketing and brand websites, high-intent landing pages, e-commerce stores, booking and enquiry flows, member and customer portals, admin dashboards, and complete web applications with user accounts and roles. On the front end we use Next.js and React so pages can be server-rendered or statically generated for speed and SEO. On the back end we use Django and Python with a REST or WebSocket API, backed by Postgres, so your data and business logic sit on a solid, well-understood foundation. When a project needs more, we wire in the integrations most businesses actually use: Stripe and other payment gateways, transactional email, maps, file storage, and third-party APIs. If you also need a mobile app or AI features layered onto the site, the same team handles Flutter builds and AI integrations, so you are not stitching together separate vendors.
Fast, secure, and SEO-ready by default
Speed, security, and search are engineering decisions, not add-ons. For performance we lean on Next.js server rendering and static generation, image optimisation, sensible caching, and a CDN so pages stay quick under load, and we measure against Core Web Vitals rather than guessing. For security we serve over HTTPS, hash credentials, validate and sanitise input, apply rate limiting on sensitive endpoints, and keep API keys and secrets server-side rather than exposed in the browser. For SEO we ship semantic HTML, clean URLs, correct metadata and Open Graph tags, sitemaps, and structured data where it helps, so search engines can crawl and understand the site. And because a fast, trustworthy site still has to convert, we design clear calls to action, forms that submit reliably, and analytics so you can see what is working.
How we work as engineers
We work the way a proper engineering team works. Every project starts with a short discovery step to agree scope, pages or features, and the data model, so there are no surprises later. Code lives in Git with pull requests and review, runs on a staging environment you can click through before anything reaches production, and ships behind a repeatable deploy. You get direct communication with the engineers doing the work, not a layer of account managers relaying messages. At handover you receive the codebase, access to the hosting and services, and documentation, because the goal is a site your team can run and extend, not a black box that only we can touch. If you already have a site, we can take it over, fix and harden it, or rebuild the parts that are holding you back.
How hiring a web developer works
Most clients engage us one of two ways. For a defined build, such as a marketing website or a specific web app, we scope a fixed project with clear milestones and a realistic timeline: a focused marketing site typically lands in a few weeks, while a data-driven web app with accounts, payments, and dashboards runs over months depending on scope. For ongoing needs we offer a monthly retainer for maintenance, new features, performance work, and support. Either way we start the same: a short call to understand your goals, users, and constraints, followed by a written proposal with scope, timeline, and cost before any code is written. You are hiring a team that will still be reachable after launch.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a web developer?+
Cost depends on scope. A focused marketing website is priced very differently from a web application with user accounts, payments, and dashboards. After a short discovery call we send a written proposal with a clear scope and a fixed price or a monthly retainer figure, so you know the number before work starts. We do not quote blind percentages or hidden extras.
How long does a website or web app take to build?+
A focused marketing site usually takes a few weeks from kickoff to launch. A larger web app with authentication, payments, and custom dashboards typically runs over a few months, depending on the number of features and integrations. We agree milestones up front and keep a staging site live so you can see progress throughout.
Do I own the code and hosting?+
Yes. You own the codebase and it lives in your Git repository. We deploy to hosting and services in your name, hand over all access at the end, and avoid proprietary builders that would lock you in. You are free to host it anywhere and to bring in any developer later.
What technology stack do you use?+
Next.js and React for the front end, Django and Python for the back end, and Postgres for the database, with a REST or WebSocket API in between. We add integrations such as Stripe, email, maps, and file storage as needed, and can extend into Flutter mobile apps and AI features using the same team.
Can you fix, redesign, or take over an existing site?+
Yes. We regularly take over existing sites to fix bugs, close security gaps, improve performance and SEO, or rebuild the parts that are slowing you down. We will review what you have, tell you honestly what is worth keeping, and rebuild the rest rather than starting from zero unnecessarily.
