How the Work Runs
Four stages, each with a written result.
-
Audit and scope
We review the current state and agree on the result.
-
Architecture and plan
We choose the stack and describe the architecture.
-
Build in iterations
You see progress in iterations, not at the end.
-
Launch and 30-day warranty
We hand over code, documentation, and warranty.
Where This Fits
A modern frontend is mostly about boundaries: which data belongs to the server, what is cached, and where an error should appear. We define those rules first, then build components that can be reused across pages without turning the codebase into a maze.
Performance is designed, not patched later. We keep bundles small, render critical content early, and measure Core Web Vitals on mobile. For headless WordPress the same rule applies: the editor stays familiar, while the public site gets a faster, typed frontend.
Risks We Remove
Most frontend bugs come from boundaries: a page renders before data arrives, an API changes shape, or a mobile browser handles an event differently. Typed contracts and explicit loading states remove most of that class of bugs. We test the critical flows on real devices, not only in a desktop browser.
Bundle size is a product decision. Every chart library and UI package costs milliseconds on a phone. We measure what ships and keep the initial payload small enough for a slow connection.
Timeline and Budget
Typical timeline: 3 to 10 weeks. Hourly work starts at $35.
Questions & Answers
What clients ask before the start.
Can you work with our API?
Yes. We document the contract first, then build against it and add error states before the happy path.
Do you take over an existing frontend?
Yes. We audit the code, list the risks, and propose either a gradual migration or a rebuild with both costs.
Do you handle design?
We implement an existing design. If there is no design, our team can create one first.
How do you test the interface?
Component tests, end-to-end checks for critical flows, and a manual pass on mobile widths.
