React development that a second team can pick up

Most React problems are not React problems. They are state kept in three places, a component library nobody documented, and a bundle that grew until the phone gave up.

Overview

The cost of owning a front end

Most React problems are not React problems: state in three places, an undocumented component library and a bundle that grew until the phone gave up.

What a React front end costs to own, not just to build

React is a rendering library, not an architecture. What decides the cost of ownership is what you put around it: a component library with documentation, one place per concern for state, tests on flows and a bundle budget that a build can enforce.

That is why we quote a React project by interface complexity and permission rules rather than by screen count — screens are cheap once the system underneath is right.

When React is the right call

Interactive products, dashboards and anything that will keep being built on. A content site that needs SEO and not a single-page app is cheaper and faster as static generation — and we will say so.

Signals React fits your front end

  • the interface is stateful: filters, tables, multi-step flows;
  • several screens share components and rules;
  • more than one developer will touch it;
  • you need accessibility and performance to be measurable, not assumed;
  • the same team or the next one will keep extending it.

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.

Product interfaces

The screens your users live in, built on a component library rather than copy-paste, so the tenth screen costs less than the first.

Dashboards and admin

Data-dense interfaces with tables, filters and permissions that behave the same on every screen.

Design systems

Tokens, components and documentation — the thing that stops two developers inventing two buttons.

Front-end migrations

From jQuery, Angular 1 or an abandoned SPA, done page by page rather than in one heroic rewrite.

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

Interactive products, teams that will keep building on it, and anything needing a shared component library across several screens or apps.

Not right for

A content site that needs SEO and does not need a single-page app — static generation or server rendering is cheaper and faster there, and we will say so.

How we work

What we consider a finished front end

The part that is specific to this stack rather than true of every project.

Accessibility to WCAG AA on the flows that matter — keyboard paths, focus order, labels — because a checkout nobody can complete with a keyboard is a broken checkout. Core Web Vitals measured on a mid-range Android, not on our laptops.

State in one place per concern, tests on flows rather than on buttons, and a bundle budget enforced in CI. Handover includes the component documentation, so the next team is not archaeology-first.

Why us

Why teams bring us in for this stack

Four things we can prove, not four adjectives.

Accessibility as a delivery criterion

WCAG AA on the flows that matter, checked with keyboard and screen reader — not with an automated score alone.

Performance budget in CI

Bundle size and Core Web Vitals enforced by the build, measured on a mid-range Android rather than our laptops.

Documented component library

Handover includes the docs, so the next team is not archaeology-first.

State in one place per concern

The single decision that separates a maintainable React app from the one everybody is afraid to touch.

FAQ

Questions we get about this stack

Answered by the people who would do the work, not by a sales team.

Next.js or plain React?

Next.js when you need SEO, server rendering or file-based routing; plain React inside an existing app shell. We pick by requirement, not by what is trending.

How do you handle accessibility?

WCAG AA on key flows as a delivery criterion, checked with keyboard and screen-reader passes rather than an automated score alone.

Will you take over someone else's front end?

Yes, after an audit: dependency health, state management, bundle size and test coverage. The audit tells you whether to refactor or to replace screen by screen.

Do you build the design too?

Yes, including the design system. Or we implement your designer's work and tell you where it will be expensive.

How do you keep performance from decaying?

A bundle budget in CI and Core Web Vitals in monitoring, so a regression is caught by a build rather than by a user.
