Overview

What We Do & Why It Matters

Your website and web application are usually the first real product a customer touches. We've spent the last several years building web software for founders, growth-stage startups, and mid-market teams who needed more than what a template or a no-code builder could deliver. Whether that means a marketing site that loads in under a second on a mid-range Android phone, a multi-tenant SaaS dashboard with Stripe billing and role-based access, or an internal tool that finally lets the ops team retire a forty-tab spreadsheet, we engineer the solution from first principles.

Our default stack is Next.js 15 with the App Router and React Server Components, paired with TypeScript in strict mode, Tailwind CSS, and a Postgres database accessed through Drizzle or Prisma. We pick Next.js because it gives us server rendering, streaming, route-level caching, and edge execution out of the box, which means your users see content faster and search engines crawl you cleanly. When a project calls for something different, we reach for Remix, Astro, SvelteKit, or a classic Vite-plus-React SPA, and we can explain exactly why one of those would serve you better.

Component architecture matters more than people think. We build with a design-system mindset from day one: a typed component library, tokens for color and spacing, Storybook for isolated development, and automated accessibility checks on every pull request. That discipline means a new engineer can join the project in week twelve and ship a feature in their first week, and it means your marketing team can spin up a new landing page without opening a ticket.

Performance is a feature, not a polish step. We set explicit budgets at the start of a project, typically a Lighthouse performance score of 95 or higher on the mobile preset, a Largest Contentful Paint under 2.0 seconds, and a JavaScript bundle under 150 KB gzipped for the initial route. We enforce those budgets in CI, so a pull request that regresses performance gets blocked before it merges. The downstream effect is real: faster sites convert better, rank higher, and cost less to serve.

Accessibility is built in, not bolted on. We target WCAG 2.1 AA as a floor, test with real assistive technology including VoiceOver and NVDA, and include keyboard-only QA on every release. Around one in five of your users has a disability that affects how they use the web, and the same patterns that make a site usable for them, things like real focus states, semantic HTML, and predictable navigation, also make it faster, more reliable, and easier for search engines to understand.

SEO and measurability come standard. Every build ships with a sensible robots.txt, a generated sitemap, OpenGraph and Twitter card metadata, JSON-LD structured data, canonical URLs, and a Core Web Vitals dashboard wired into Google Search Console. On the analytics side, we set up Google Analytics 4, PostHog, or Plausible depending on your privacy posture, plus server-side conversion tracking so ad blockers and iOS privacy features do not silently erode your numbers.

We ship code you can actually maintain. Every repo includes a README that explains how to run it locally, a CONTRIBUTING doc, typed API contracts, unit and integration tests in Vitest plus Playwright for end-to-end, and a deploy pipeline that takes a commit to production in under ten minutes with automatic preview deploys on every pull request. You are never locked in, and any competent Next.js or React agency can pick up where we left off without a rewrite.

Capabilities

What We Deliver

06

Progressive Web Apps

Installable, offline-capable web apps with service workers, background sync, push notifications, and an app-shell architecture that rivals native performance while staying one codebase and one deploy pipeline.

07

Content Management Systems

Headless CMS setups with Sanity, Contentful, Payload, or Strapi, or traditional WordPress when the content team needs it. Preview modes, scheduled publishing, localization, and editorial workflows that respect your content team's actual work.

08

E-Commerce Front-Ends

Headless storefronts on top of Shopify, BigCommerce, Medusa, or a custom Stripe-powered backend, with product filtering, search through Algolia or Meilisearch, and checkout flows tuned for mobile conversion.

09

API-First Architecture

REST or GraphQL APIs designed alongside the front-end, with OpenAPI specs, auto-generated TypeScript clients, rate limiting, request validation via Zod, and versioning policies that let you evolve without breaking integrations.

10

Migration & Modernization

Moving you off legacy stacks like jQuery, AngularJS, Rails monoliths, or aging PHP codebases onto a modern framework, incrementally and safely, without a high-risk big-bang rewrite.

Real Results

How We've Helped Businesses Like Yours

1

A fintech startup needed a customer-facing portfolio dashboard with sub-second initial load and real-time price updates. We built a Next.js app with React Server Components for the shell, a WebSocket layer backed by Redis for live quotes, and edge caching on historical data, landing at a 1.3 second LCP and a 98 Lighthouse score.

2

A healthcare company required a HIPAA-compliant patient portal for appointment booking, secure messaging, and document sharing. We delivered a Next.js application with field-level encryption, SAML SSO into their existing EHR, a full audit log, and a BAA with every upstream vendor.

3

A logistics firm wanted to replace fifteen Google Sheets that ran their daily operations. We built a custom admin dashboard with role-based access for dispatchers, drivers, and finance, cutting their weekly reporting time from eighteen hours to under four and eliminating three recurring data-entry errors.

4

A B2B SaaS company needed to launch a self-serve signup and billing flow alongside their enterprise sales motion. We shipped Stripe-powered subscriptions with metered API usage, proration on plan changes, dunning emails, and a customer portal, all integrated with their HubSpot CRM for lifecycle tracking.

5

A media company with an aging WordPress site was losing organic traffic to slow page loads. We migrated their top fifty templates to Next.js with Sanity as the new CMS, preserved every URL for SEO, and took their mobile LCP from 4.8 seconds down to 1.6 seconds, recovering the lost rankings within a quarter.

6

A SaaS company's growing team needed an internal tool to manage customer data, impersonate users for support, and run bulk operations. We built an admin app with Clerk authentication, row-level security in Postgres, a permissions matrix, and full audit trails that satisfied their SOC 2 auditor.

7

A multi-region e-commerce brand was hitting the limits of a Shopify theme. We built a headless storefront in Next.js against the Shopify Storefront API, added Algolia search, ISR-based product pages, and region-aware pricing, lifting their mobile checkout conversion by 22 percent.

8

A nonprofit wanted to launch a donation platform without paying per-transaction fees to a turnkey vendor. We built a custom Stripe-based flow with recurring giving, donor portals, tax-receipt PDF generation, and a reporting dashboard their development team could run themselves.

9

A legal services firm needed a client intake portal that fed their existing case management system. We built a form-driven Next.js app with conditional logic, document upload, e-signature, and a middleware layer that posted structured data into their on-prem case system over a VPN.

10

A developer-tools startup needed a documentation site that was fast, searchable, and versioned. We shipped a Nextra-based docs site with MDX, Algolia DocSearch, a version dropdown, and API reference pages generated from their OpenAPI spec on every release.

11

A marketplace platform needed a vendor dashboard with analytics, payout history, and messaging. We built it as a multi-tenant Next.js app with row-level security in Postgres, Stripe Connect for payouts, and real-time notifications over Pusher.

12

A physical-product startup needed a lightning-fast DTC marketing site with a blog, press kit, and retailer locator. We built an Astro site with content in Sanity, a Mapbox-powered retailer map, and deployment on Vercel with edge-cached pages that loaded in under 800ms globally.

Our Process

How We Work

1

Discovery & Technical Scoping

We run a structured discovery workshop, usually one to two weeks, where we map user journeys, document integration points, audit any existing code, and produce a written scope with milestones, deliverables, and a fixed or capped budget. You leave that phase with a clear picture of what you are buying before we start building.

2

Design System & Architecture

We translate your brand into design tokens, build a Figma component library if one does not exist, and stand up the engineering scaffolding: repo setup, CI/CD, preview environments, authentication provider, database schema, and the first deployable slice of the app.

3

Iterative Development in Two-Week Sprints

We ship in two-week sprints with a demo at the end of each one. You see real, usable software in week two, not week twelve, and you can redirect priorities as you learn. A dedicated Slack channel and a shared Linear board keep everything visible.

4

Integration & Data Layer

We wire up the front-end to your APIs, third-party services, CRM, payment processor, email provider, and any internal systems. All integrations are typed end to end with Zod validation at the boundary, so a breaking change from a vendor shows up as a failing build, not a 2 AM incident.

5

Quality Assurance & Accessibility

Automated unit and integration tests in Vitest, end-to-end tests in Playwright across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, accessibility audits with axe-core, and manual QA on real devices through BrowserStack. Every release passes a checklist before it ships.

6

Launch & Performance Hardening

We coordinate a zero-downtime launch with a cutover plan, DNS and SSL setup, 301 redirects to preserve SEO, and a soft-launch window to catch anything the test environment missed. Post-launch we tune performance against real field data from Core Web Vitals.

7

Documentation, Handover & Support

We deliver a complete README, architecture decision records, runbooks for common operational tasks, and a recorded walk-through of the codebase. Your team gets everything they need to operate independently, and we remain available on a retainer if you want a continuing engineering partner.
