Frontend Developer for AI SEO Web App (React + Next.js)
Description
Hourly Rate: $15/hr (long-term opportunity, higher rate in future contracts)
Hours: Part-time to start; flexible
Start: ASAP
Project Overview
I’m building a small but ambitious SaaS product: an AI-powered SEO meta generator for small businesses, Shopify stores, and WordPress users.
The app will take user input (keywords or URLs) and generate SEO-optimized titles and meta descriptions using AI (OpenAI API). Later, the app will connect directly to WordPress and Shopify for publishing.
For now, I need help building the frontend portion of the MVP.
This is the first milestone of a long-term project. I’m starting with a very limited budget because I recently moved to the US and am bootstrapping my business, but I intend to continue and increase rates for future contracts as revenue comes in.
If you're looking for a long-term technical partnership with stable work, this is a good fit.

Budget Statement (Important)
This first phase is limited to $15/hr because I’m in a tight financial situation while starting fresh in the US and building my business from scratch.
However:
**This is NOT a one-time project.
As soon as revenue begins or I secure more budget, I will increase your hourly rate significantly.**
If you're someone who values long-term collaboration over short-term pay, we’ll work great together.
