Web applications that are fast, accessible and easy to keep changing

We build web applications with React, Next.js and TypeScript: customer-facing platforms, dashboards, portals and internal tools. The focus is on software that loads quickly, works for everyone and stays pleasant to change a year from now.

Outcome
A web application your users rely on and your team can keep improving with confidence.

When it fits

When this is the right call.

  • Your current web app is slow

    Pages take too long to load, users drop off and every change risks breaking something else. Performance has become a product problem, not just a technical one.

  • You have outgrown a website builder

    What started as a marketing site now needs accounts, dashboards, payments or data from other systems. The platform you are on was not designed for that.

  • Your frontend has become fragile

    Years of quick fixes have left an inconsistent codebase with no tests. Small changes take days and nobody wants to touch certain screens.

  • You need a new customer platform

    You are launching a portal, booking system, marketplace or account area and want it built properly from the start, with room to grow.

What we deliver

What you get.

  • Customer-facing web platforms

    Account areas, booking and ordering systems, marketplaces and self-service portals, built for performance and accessibility.

  • Dashboards and internal tools

    Data-heavy interfaces with tables, filters, charts and bulk actions that make daily work quicker for your team.

  • Next.js applications

    Server-rendered and statically generated applications that are quick to load, search-friendly and straightforward to deploy.

  • Frontend rebuilds and migrations

    Incremental migration of older frontends to a modern React and TypeScript codebase, screen by screen, without a risky big-bang switch.

  • Design systems and component libraries

    Shared, documented components that keep the interface consistent and make new features faster to build.

Our approach

How we approach it.

We choose React and Next.js for most business web applications because they are mature, widely understood and well supported, which matters when you need to hire or hand over later. TypeScript throughout catches a whole class of mistakes before users ever see them. Where a simpler approach will do, such as a mostly static site, we will recommend it rather than build something heavier than you need.

Performance and accessibility are designed in rather than audited at the end. We set budgets for page weight and load time, test with keyboard and screen readers, and follow WCAG guidance as a baseline. Rendering strategy is a deliberate choice per page: static where content rarely changes, server-rendered where it must be fresh, client-side where interactivity demands it.

Every application ships with automated tests on the paths that matter, preview deployments for every change and a documented structure a new developer can follow. You own the repository and hosting accounts from the start, so handing over to an in-house team is a routine step rather than a project in itself.

FAQs

Common questions.

Why do you recommend Next.js for business web applications?

Next.js gives you fast page loads, good search visibility and a clear structure for combining server and client code, all on top of React, which has a very large hiring pool. It deploys easily to several hosting platforms, so you are not tied to one provider. For some projects a different tool fits better, and we will say so.

What affects the cost of a web application?

The main drivers are the number of distinct user roles and screens, integrations with other systems, how complex the data and permissions are, and any compliance requirements. Design maturity matters too: a product with agreed designs moves faster than one still being shaped. We give an estimate after a short scoping exercise rather than guessing from a one-line brief.

How long does it take to build a web app?

A focused first release is usually a matter of weeks to a few months, depending on scope, integrations and how quickly decisions can be made. We plan releases so you get something usable early, then build on it, rather than waiting for everything at once.

Can you take over an existing web application?

Yes. We start with a review of the codebase, infrastructure and deployment process, then give you an honest assessment of what to keep, what to improve and what carries risk. Most applications can be improved incrementally without a full rewrite.

Will the application be accessible?

Accessibility is part of how we build, not an optional extra. We follow WCAG guidance, use semantic markup, test with keyboard and screen readers, and check colour contrast. That also tends to make the product better for everyone.
