Angular development, including the versions nobody wants to touch
Angular is what companies pick when the application will outlive the team that wrote it. That is also why so many of them are sitting four majors behind.
What we can show you
Overview
Where Angular earns its weight
Angular is a framework, not a library: routing, forms, dependency injection and testing come in the box, so five developers write code that looks like one person wrote it.
What an Angular project really is, and when the framework earns its weight
That structure is why Angular survives team changes better than most front ends — and why it is common in banks, insurers and internal enterprise tools. What comes with it is version discipline: Angular ships majors on a schedule, and a project that skips them accumulates a migration debt that is invisible until hiring gets hard.
So an honest Angular engagement has two halves: the features you want, and the version position you need to be in a year from now. We quote both.
When Angular is the right call
Large, long-lived applications with many forms and rules, teams that will change over the years, and organisations that value predictable hiring over the newest thing. For a small interactive widget or a content site, it is more framework than the job needs.
Signals your Angular situation needs attention
- you are on AngularJS 1.x or a major that no longer gets fixes;
- upgrading has been postponed twice because nobody knows what will break;
- hiring takes months because candidates ask which version you are on;
- the app is mostly forms, roles and tables, and it keeps growing;
- there are no tests around the flows that carry money.

Scope
What we build with it
Where this stack earns its place in a project, and what we would use instead if it did not.
Enterprise interfaces
Forms, roles, tables and approvals — the screens people work in all day, built on a component library rather than copy-paste.
Version upgrades
From any major back to 2.x to current LTS, incrementally, with tests as the safety net rather than hope.
AngularJS rescue
1.x applications moved forward in hybrid mode, screen by screen, or rewritten where custom directives make hybrid the more expensive path.
Front ends over existing back ends
Angular on top of a system you already run — see API and integration.
Fit
When it is the right call — and when it is not
The best stack is usually the one your team can maintain after we leave.
Right for
Long-lived applications with many forms, roles and rules, several developers, and a hiring plan that has to be predictable rather than lucky.
Not right for
A small marketing site or a single interactive widget: that is a heavier framework than the job needs, and we will say so.

How we work
Versions: the part of Angular that actually costs money
The part that is specific to this stack rather than true of every project.
Why us
Why teams bring us in for this stack
Four things we can prove, not four adjectives.
Upgrades with tests, not hope
Characterisation tests around the money flows first, then one major at a time with a rollback at every step. That is the difference between an upgrade and an outage.
AngularJS is not a dead end here
Hybrid mode or screen-by-screen rewrite, costed side by side before you decide — we do not push the option that bills more hours.
Your repository from commit one
Code, CI and infrastructure in your accounts, IP assigned at delivery with a documented chain of title.
Accessibility as a delivery criterion
WCAG AA on the flows that matter, checked with keyboard and screen reader — the requirement that shows up in enterprise procurement after the contract is signed.

FAQ
Questions we get about this stack
Answered by the people who would do the work, not by a sales team.
Which Angular versions do you work with?
Current LTS by default, upgrades from any major back to 2.x, and AngularJS 1.x rescue as its own scope with its own quote.
Angular or React for a new project?
Angular when the app will be large, long-lived and touched by many hands; React when the interface is the product and the team is small. We recommend against ourselves when React is the answer.
Can you upgrade our AngularJS app without stopping releases?
Usually yes: hybrid mode, screen by screen, with rollback at each step. Where most of the code is custom directives, a rewrite is often cheaper — we show both numbers first.
Do you write tests?
Yes: Jasmine or Jest on logic, Playwright or Cypress on the flows that make money. Upgrading a framework without tests is guesswork with your revenue.
Can you work inside our existing Angular codebase?
Yes, after a paid audit of dependencies, module structure and test coverage — that audit is what makes the estimate honest.
Do you build the design as well?
Yes, including the design system. Or we implement your designer's work and tell you which screens will be expensive before they are built.
