React

The one most clients have heard of, and for good reason. React popularised the component model and still anchors the largest frontend ecosystem there is. When an app is big, component-heavy and likely to be worked on by a rotating team, React is our safe default.

At a glance

Paradigm

A library, not a framework — components plus a virtual DOM, with routing, data and state added from a vast ecosystem.

Language

JavaScript or TypeScript with JSX. We default to TypeScript on anything that will outlive a prototype.

Best for

Large, interactive applications — dashboards, editors, SaaS products — where the hiring pool and ecosystem matter.

Watch out for

Bundle size and decision fatigue. It is easy to over-tool a site that a few static pages would have served better.

Why we reach for it

Ecosystem

Whatever you need — a date picker, a data grid, a meta-framework — someone has built and battle-tested it.

Hiring pool

The deepest talent pool in frontend. Easy to staff, easy to hand a React codebase to the next team.

Meta-frameworks

Next.js and friends add routing, server rendering and data loading when an app needs the structure.

Is React right for you?

If your product is genuinely app-like, probably yes. If it is mostly content, a lighter stack — or no framework at all — may serve you better. Ask us →
