React / Next.js Developer – B2B Website Rebuild (SEO + CRO)
Works from an AI-generated site (Manus) and optimizes for AI search crawlers; not explicit vibe coding but involves AI web-builder outputs and AI-aware SEO.
About the Role
Rebuild an AI-generated React site into a production-ready, fast, SEO- and CRO-focused B2B website. Deliver responsive, maintainable code, reliable hosting, working forms, analytics, and a clean GitHub handoff for long-term maintenance.
Job Description
Role
We are hiring an experienced React/Next.js developer to convert an AI-generated draft site (built with Manus/React) into a clean, production-ready B2B website. The primary goals are strong on-page SEO, conversion-focused UI/UX improvements, reliable hosting and deployment, working contact/quote forms, analytics, and a maintainable codebase handed off to our internal team.
Key Responsibilities
- Recreate the existing AI-generated site as a well-structured, production codebase.
- Ensure the site is fast, fully responsive (desktop, tablet, mobile), and cross-browser tested.
- Improve UI/UX and page flow with conversion-focused design and clear CTAs.
- Implement reliable contact/quote-request forms with email delivery and spam protection.
- Set up hosting, domain, SSL, and deployment for a stable live site.
- Implement on-page SEO: meta tags, headings, structured data/schema, sitemap, robots.txt, and Google Search Console.
- Add analytics tracking (Google Analytics / GA4) and verify Search Console.
- Deliver clean code in a GitHub repository with brief documentation for handoff.
Deliverables
- Production-ready website matching the approved design.
- Live, hosted site on the company’s domain with SSL.
- Working forms with confirmed email delivery and spam protection.
- SEO implemented and verified (Search Console + analytics connected).
- Clean GitHub repository and short documentation/hand-off notes.
Tech Preferences
- React-based implementation (Next.js is acceptable and recommended if justified for SEO/performance).
- Mobile-first and performance-focused coding practices.
- Code organized for long-term maintainability by a small internal team.
- Tools explicitly mentioned: Manus (AI site draft), Google Analytics / GA4, Google Search Console, GitHub, structured data/schema, sitemap, robots.txt, SSL.
Requirements
- Strong portfolio of production React/Next.js business websites (live links required).
- Proven UI/UX and conversion-rate-optimization (CRO) experience for B2B lead-generation sites.
- Real-world SEO experience for B2B/lead-gen websites.
- Comfortable taking an AI-generated draft as the starting point and improving it.
- Clear communicator able to explain technical decisions in plain language.
- Reliable, deadline-driven, and available for occasional follow-up support after launch.
Hiring Task & Notes
- Applicants must recreate a one-page splash based on the provided Manus preview link as part of the hiring process.
- A live preview link to the current AI-generated site will be provided during the hiring process.

Include the following in your proposal:
- Start your proposal with the word “FINISH” to confirm you’ve read the brief.
- 2–3 live links to B2B websites you have built (React/Next.js preferred).
