Frontend Developer
A frontend developer builds the part of a website or app that people see and use — the layout, design and interactivity in the browser — using tools like React, Next.js and Tailwind CSS, with projects in India typically costing ₹18,000 to ₹2 lakh+ by scope. I'm Amit Kumar, founder of Cyber Defence, CEH + CRTA certified and based in Hisar, Haryana. I build fast, responsive, pixel-clean interfaces for clients across India, so your product looks sharp and works on every device.

What a frontend developer actually does
The frontend is everything a user directly experiences: the layout, the buttons, the animations, the forms, how content flows on a phone versus a laptop. A frontend developer turns a design or an idea into working code that runs in the browser — writing HTML, CSS and JavaScript, usually through modern frameworks like React and Next.js and a styling tool like Tailwind CSS. Good frontend work isn't just "making it look nice"; it's making the interface fast to load, easy to use, accessible to people with disabilities, and consistent across Chrome, Safari and every screen size. It's also where conversions are won or lost — a confusing or slow interface loses customers no matter how good the backend is. When you hire me for frontend work, I take your design (or create one) and build it into clean, performant, maintainable code that another developer could pick up later without wincing.
What I build on the frontend
I build the full range of user-facing interfaces. Marketing and business websites that load fast and rank well. App interfaces for dashboards, portals and SaaS products, wired to whatever backend or API you already have. Landing pages tuned to convert ad and campaign traffic. Component libraries and design systems so a growing product stays visually consistent. And rebuilds of clunky, slow or non-responsive interfaces that are frustrating your users. I work from Figma designs when you have them, or design directly in code when you don't. Everything ships mobile-first, because most Indian traffic is on phones, and everything is tested on real devices, not just my laptop. If your backend is already built by another team, I slot in cleanly as the frontend specialist; if you need the whole thing, I handle backend too. Either way you get interfaces that feel fast and behave predictably.
Tech and how I keep interfaces fast
My default toolkit is React and Next.js for structure, Tailwind CSS for styling, and TypeScript for fewer bugs — modern, well-supported tools with huge communities, so you're never stuck with something obscure. Speed is a first-class concern: I code-split so pages load only what they need, optimise and lazy-load images, minimise JavaScript, and aim for Core Web Vitals in the green, because Google ranks fast pages higher and users abandon slow ones. I build responsive from the smallest phone up, test real breakpoints, and make interfaces accessible — proper contrast, keyboard navigation, semantic markup — which also helps SEO. On the security side my ethical-hacking background means I handle frontend risks properly too: no leaking secrets in client code, safe handling of tokens, and protection against common cross-site scripting mistakes that many frontend-only developers overlook. The result is an interface that's fast, robust and genuinely usable.
Why hire me for frontend work
You get a certified, verifiable developer who cares about both the pixels and what's underneath them. My CEH and CRTA credentials are real and checkable, my base at Red Square Market, Hisar, Haryana 125001 is real, and my phone answers. I don't post fake reviews or invented client logos — I'd rather show real work. Because I understand the full stack, not just the frontend, I build interfaces that integrate cleanly with real backends and don't fall apart the moment live data hits them — a common failing of designers who code a little. I run lean, so my rates undercut metro agencies while the quality matches, and you deal directly with me, not a salesperson. For a business that wants a genuinely fast, responsive, professional interface — and someone who'll explain the trade-offs honestly — that combination is rare in India.
My process from design to live interface
It starts with a free call or WhatsApp chat where you show me your design or describe the interface you need, and I give you an honest scope and fixed quote — no vague "it depends". After a partial advance I set up the project and build screen by screen behind a live preview link, so you see the real interface in your own browser and phone as it comes together and can adjust early rather than at the end. I wire up interactivity, connect to your API or backend, and tune for speed and responsiveness. We test together on real devices, fix anything, and check accessibility and Core Web Vitals. On completion I hand over clean, documented code you fully own, with no lock-in. A landing page or small interface typically takes a few days to two weeks; a full app frontend takes longer, and I keep you posted throughout.
Transparent frontend pricing in Indian Rupees
Here's roughly what frontend work costs with me. A single high-converting landing page runs ₹18,000 to ₹40,000. A multi-page marketing or business website frontend lands at ₹35,000 to ₹90,000. A full application frontend — dashboard, portal or SaaS interface wired to your backend — starts around ₹90,000 and scales with the number of screens and complexity. Building a reusable component library or design system is quoted per scope. These are honest ranges, not bait numbers; the final price is fixed once I understand your requirements, and I explain exactly what each rupee buys. If you engage me ongoing — say, a retainer to build out new screens each month — I quote that separately so your core cost stays clear. Compared with agencies charging far more for the same output, the value is straightforward.
Frontend vs full-stack: which do you need?
The honest verdict: hire a frontend developer when your backend already exists or you only need a marketing site; hire a full-stack developer when you need the whole product built and connected. Frontend covers what the user sees and does in the browser — layout, interactivity, responsiveness. Full-stack covers that plus the server, database, APIs and security behind it. If you have an in-house team or an existing backend and just need a great interface, a frontend specialist is the efficient, cheaper choice. If you're building an application from scratch — logins, data, payments — you need full-stack, or you'll end up coordinating two people who blame each other when something breaks. The good news: I do both. I can slot in as your frontend specialist alongside an existing backend, or own the entire stack myself. I'll tell you honestly which your project actually needs rather than upselling you the bigger package.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a frontend developer cost in India?
Frontend work in India typically costs ₹18,000–₹40,000 for a landing page, ₹35,000–₹90,000 for a multi-page business website frontend, and ₹90,000+ for a full application interface wired to your backend. With Cyber Defence you get a fixed quote after a free scoping call, so you know the exact price before any code is written.
How long does frontend development take?
A single landing page usually takes a few days to a week. A multi-page website frontend takes 1–3 weeks, and a full application interface can take several weeks depending on the number of screens. I share a live preview link throughout so you can watch progress. Timelines also depend on how quickly you provide designs, content and feedback.
What is the difference between frontend and full-stack development?
Frontend is what the user sees and interacts with in the browser — layout, design, interactivity. Full-stack is that plus the server, database, APIs and security behind it. Hire a frontend developer when your backend already exists or you need a marketing site; hire full-stack when building a whole application. I do both and will advise honestly.
Which frontend technologies do you use?
My default toolkit is React and Next.js for structure, Tailwind CSS for styling, and TypeScript for fewer bugs — modern, widely-supported tools with large communities. Every interface is mobile-first and tuned for Core Web Vitals so it loads fast and ranks well. The exact choices depend on your project; I pick the simplest option that meets your goal.
Will my website work well on mobile phones?
Yes, always. I build mobile-first because most Indian traffic is on phones, then test on real devices across breakpoints — not just a desktop browser resized. Your interface will be responsive, touch-friendly and fast on phones, tablets and laptops alike. Responsiveness and speed on mobile are non-negotiable parts of every frontend project I take on.
Do you work with clients outside Haryana?
Yes. Although I'm based in Hisar, Haryana, I build frontends for clients across all of India — Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, anywhere. The work is fully remote: we plan over call and WhatsApp, I share a live preview link, and you get the same quality and pricing regardless of your city. Most communication happens on WhatsApp for speed.
Kya aap mera Figma design ko fast responsive website bana denge?
Haan, bilkul. Main Amit Kumar, Cyber Defence ka founder aur CEH certified developer hoon. Aapka Figma design leke React aur Tailwind se fast, mobile-friendly website bana deta hoon, ₹18,000 se shuru. Fixed quote pehle milta hai, koi hidden charge nahi. Live preview link bhi doon ga. WhatsApp par 75175 72000 pe baat karein.
Can you build the frontend if I already have a backend?
Yes, that's a common request. If your backend or API already exists, I slot in as the frontend specialist, connect cleanly to your endpoints, and build the interface without touching your server logic. I make sure the frontend handles real data, errors and edge cases properly, which is where designer-coders often fall short.
Do I own the frontend code after the project?
Yes, completely. Once the project is paid, you own the full source code and all credentials with no lock-in. I hand over clean, documented code that another developer could continue without difficulty. If you ever want to move to a different developer or team, everything is yours to give them.
Can you improve the speed of my existing slow interface?
Yes. Rebuilding or optimising slow, clunky frontends is a big part of my work. I audit what's dragging performance — heavy JavaScript, unoptimised images, blocking resources — then fix or rebuild it for green Core Web Vitals. I'll tell you honestly whether a targeted optimisation or a fresh build is the smarter spend for your situation.
