Technologies / React
React is our default front-end for enterprise applications, portals, and internal platforms. We build it with TypeScript, tests, and accessibility as first-class concerns.
React is the most common front-end technology we work in, and also the one where we see the widest quality gap between projects. It's easy to ship, easy to leave in a bad state, and easy to lock a business into a codebase nobody wants to inherit. We build React that a new engineer can be productive in on day one — type-safe, tested, componentised, and accessible.
We use React where it earns its place. These are the situations we see most often.
State scattered across contexts, components a thousand lines long, and no clear story about where anything lives.
Loading, error, and empty states are afterthoughts. Real users hit them constantly.
Aria attributes sprinkled at random, keyboard navigation broken, and no story for screen readers.
We start with your business problem — the process, the users, the constraints — before naming any technology, including this one.
A clear architecture decision record: where this technology fits, where it doesn't, and what it integrates with.
Small, demonstrable increments on real data. Real users, real feedback, real outcomes — not a proof of concept nobody uses.
Operational metrics, documentation, and a runbook your internal team can operate. We're not a lock-in vendor.
A React codebase a new engineer can be productive in inside a week.
Every screen designed for loading, empty, and error states — not just the happy path.
Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA measured, not assumed.
Tests where they add safety, skipped where they don't. No 100% coverage theatre.
Line-of-business and back-office React applications with real workflow, real data, and real users.
White-label React portals integrated with your identity, CRM, and platform data.
Custom analytics UIs where Power BI or Looker don't fit the interaction model.
Component libraries, tokens, and Storybook — so your React estate is consistent across teams.
WCAG-aligned React with real testing for keyboard, screen reader, and motion preferences.
AngularJS, Vue, or legacy jQuery estates migrated to React deliberately, not big-bang.
A UK operator needed a React front-end for a new operational platform — thousands of records per user, deep filtering, and long-running background actions. We built a state model, a virtualised data table, and a component library used by three subsequent internal apps.
A regulated finance operator was stuck on an AngularJS app with no upgrade path. We migrated to React module by module, running both frameworks side by side, ending on a fully React codebase without a big-bang cutover.
Vignettes are anonymised composites drawn from engagements and product work. No client names, logos, or performance figures are implied.
Both. Vite/React for internal apps and portals; Next.js when SSR, SEO, or edge rendering matters. We recommend based on the workload.
shadcn/ui, Radix, and Tailwind by default for new projects. We work in Material, Ant, and Chakra where existing estates use them.
TanStack Query for server state, Zustand or React context for UI state, and Redux only when a project already uses it. We don't add Redux by reflex.
Yes — unit, integration, and end-to-end (Playwright), applied where they add real safety. We don't chase coverage percentages.
Yes, when the workload suits it. Shared logic between web and mobile is a real win when the UX is a good match.
Whether it's a new build, an inherited codebase, or a rescue — we'll give you an honest read on where React fits and what a good next step looks like.
