Web Development Services

React and TypeScript, built with Vite, styled with a token system rather than ad-hoc values. Components carry their states, the type scale is a scale, and spacing comes from a step set — which is what stops the twentieth page drifting from the first.

Performance is treated as a build concern rather than a later audit. Images get their intrinsic dimensions so the layout doesn't jump, photographs ship in a format sized for the web, and the critical path stays small enough that the first paint isn't waiting on a bundle.

Keyboard and screen-reader paths get built as the component is built. Retrofitting focus management into a modal after the fact is strictly more expensive than writing it once.

Most products of this size need less backend than people expect: a database, authentication, a few server functions, and somewhere for files to live. Reaching for more architecture than that buys complexity you will maintain forever.

So: a managed Postgres database, row-level access rules that are actually tested with a signed-in user rather than assumed, serverless functions for the handful of things that must run server-side, and secrets held as environment variables rather than committed. The last one sounds obvious and is the most common thing I find broken.

Continuous deploys from the main branch, with the build doing the work: type checking, the generated sitemap, prerendered HTML for every route so crawlers and AI agents get real content instead of an empty shell.

That last point is worth saying plainly, because it is the most common defect I find on otherwise well-built React sites. A single-page app serves a crawler an empty div unless something renders it first. Prerendering every route at build time costs nothing per visit and is the difference between being indexed and being invisible.

Then the checks that catch regressions rather than describing them: a link check across the built output, an image-weight budget, security headers set and verified in a real browser.

A repository you own, deployed, with the reasoning written down.

Every engagement starts with a call and a written scope before any money changes hands. I don't publish a day rate, because a two-week design pass and a six-month build aren't the same conversation — the scope decides the number, and you see it in writing first.

Work lands in small pieces on a branch, deployed to a preview URL, reviewed, merged. You can watch it happen rather than waiting for a reveal.

Teams that need a front end built properly by someone who will also make the design decisions, and founders who need one person to take a product from a design to something running on a domain.

It also suits inheriting a codebase someone else abandoned. That work is unglamorous and I am willing to do it: read the thing, find out what is actually load-bearing, then change it without breaking the parts nobody documented.
