React development
Component-based interfaces for applications where the screen changes constantly and the data has to keep up.
UI library
Chosen per project
Maintainable handover
React earns its place when an interface has genuine state — filters that combine, forms that react to each other, data that updates while the user is looking at it. Its component model makes that complexity manageable, and its ecosystem means most problems already have a well-trodden solution.
It is not the right answer for a mostly static marketing site, where it adds a JavaScript payload and an SEO consideration in exchange for benefits that page will never use.
What we build with React
Admin dashboards with heavy filtering and live data
Customer portals with authenticated, personalised views
Multi-step forms and configurators with dependent fields
Internal tools replacing desktop applications
Where it fits — and where it does not
Good fit when
Interfaces with substantial, interdependent state
Products expected to grow over several years
Teams that benefit from a large hiring pool
Applications that share components across many screens
Consider something else when
Content sites where a static build would be faster and simpler
Very small projects where the tooling outweighs the benefit
Pages where search indexing is critical and no server rendering is planned
How a React codebase is layered
The structure we build to. Keeping data access out of components is what stops a React application turning into hundreds of files that each fetch their own data slightly differently.
UI components
Presentational primitives with no data access of their own.
State management
Local state first, shared store only where it is truly shared.
API integration
A caching query layer handling loading, error and refetch.
Application
Routes and screens composed from the layers above.
Testing
Behavioural component and integration tests.
Deployment
Build pipeline, bundle budgets and CDN delivery.
How we work with React
Component architecture
A layered structure — primitives, composites, then screens — so the library stays coherent as it grows.
State management
Local state by default; a shared store only where state genuinely crosses component boundaries.
Data fetching
A caching query layer so loading, error and stale states are handled consistently rather than per component.
Testing
Component tests around behaviour, not implementation detail, so refactoring does not break the suite.
Our typical React setup
| Concern | What we use |
|---|---|
| Routing | React Router, or the framework router when using Next.js |
| Data layer | TanStack Query for server state, caching and revalidation |
| Styling | CSS Modules or a token-driven stylesheet system |
| Forms | Schema-validated forms with accessible error handling |
| Testing | Vitest or Jest with React Testing Library |
| Build | Vite for applications, Next.js where rendering strategy matters |
Frequently asked questions
A client-rendered React app can be indexed, but server rendering or static generation through Next.js is materially better for content that has to rank. For an authenticated dashboard, SEO is irrelevant and plain React is the simpler choice.
React is a library with choices left to you; Angular is a framework that makes many of those choices for you. React suits teams that want flexibility and a large ecosystem; Angular suits organisations that value a prescribed structure across many developers.
Yes. React can be mounted into a single part of a page, which is a common way to modernise one complex screen without rewriting an entire application.
Topics people search for
Services built with React
Web Application Development
Applications that run in the browser, handle real workloads and hold up when several departments depend on them at once.
UI/UX Design
Interfaces designed around what people are trying to accomplish, then tested with them before development starts.
SaaS Development
Building a software product means building a business system around it too — tenancy, billing, onboarding and support tooling.
Custom Software Development
Software shaped around the way your business already works, instead of a packaged product you have to reorganise around.
