the Team That Built This Site
This site is a hand-coded React build. It's our portfolio piece.
React runs many of the web's most demanding interfaces, and it's what we build with every day: marketing sites, web applications, dashboards and storefronts, with the performance and SEO care the framework needs. The site you're reading is one of ours.
What’s included
React Sites & Apps
From animated marketing sites to data-heavy applications: component-based builds that stay maintainable as they grow.
Performance Engineering
Code-splitting, bundle discipline, render optimization and smooth animation. React done badly is slow; done well, it's fast.
SEO-Safe React
Prerendering and a considered rendering strategy so Google and AI crawlers see full content, fixing the visibility problem that hurts many JavaScript sites.
Why React, and Why It Needs Specialists
React's component model keeps complex interfaces consistent: design systems, interactive tools and animation-heavy pages that template platforms can't express. The catch is that React punishes casual work. Large bundles, pages crawlers can't read and laggy interactions are what half-learned React looks like in production.
We build React with the full discipline: rendering strategy chosen per project, Core Web Vitals kept green, and every page prerendered so crawlers, including AI crawlers that don't run JavaScript, read complete content. View the source of this page and you'll see it all there.
What We Build in React
Marketing sites where motion and brand presence matter. Web applications with real interactivity: dashboards, portals, booking and quoting flows. Custom storefronts, either fully custom or as a headless front end. Design systems and component libraries that keep a growing product consistent.
Our portfolio includes the Fraser Valley Computers storefront with repair booking and quote intake, and the Vacterra product site built around cinematic video and scroll-driven storytelling.
How We Structure a React Project
We keep the stack boring on purpose: TypeScript for fewer runtime bugs, a small set of well-known libraries, and a folder structure another React developer would recognize on day one. Components are built from a shared set of design tokens, so colours, spacing and type stay consistent as pages are added.
Every build gets automated checks for types and linting, and deployment is set up so each change can be previewed before it goes live. The goal is a codebase you could hand to any competent React developer.
Performance Work in a React Build
Fast React sites are the result of specific decisions. We split the code so each page loads only what it needs, and load heavy features like maps, video players or charts only when a visitor reaches them. Images are served in modern formats at the right size for each screen. Fonts are preloaded so text doesn't jump when they arrive. Animations run on the properties browsers can draw cheaply, so they stay smooth on mid-range phones.
We measure all of this against Google's Core Web Vitals, using lab tests during the build and real-user data after launch. If a new feature makes the site slower, we find out before your visitors do.
Where React Fits in Your Project
If the interface is part of the product, React is usually the right choice. When something simpler would serve you better, such as a small brochure site that will rarely change, we'll say so. The framework is a tool, and we pick tools to fit the job.
Frequently asked questions
Is React bad for SEO?
Unmanaged, it can be. Client-side rendering can show crawlers an empty page, and most AI crawlers never run JavaScript. With prerendering or server-side rendering, React sites can rank as well as any other. Our own site is a prerendered React build.
When is React the right choice for a website?
When the interface matters: rich interaction, animation, design-system consistency or app-like features. For a five-page brochure that will never grow, it can be more than you need, and we'll tell you so.
Do you use Next.js or other React frameworks?
We choose the rendering approach per project: static prerendering, server-side rendering with a framework like Next.js, or a mix, based on content, interactivity and hosting needs. We explain the reasoning in plain language.
Can you take over an existing React codebase?
Yes. We audit the code, stabilize what's fragile, and then either keep improving it or rebuild parts, depending on what the audit shows. Getting experienced eyes on a struggling React project early often avoids a full rewrite.
React or a page builder: how do I decide?
Page builders make starting cheap; React makes growing easier. If brand, performance and custom features drive your revenue, a builder becomes a limit you'll pay to escape later. If you just need a presence this quarter, a builder is fine. The decision depends on your stage.
Do you write React in TypeScript?
Yes, by default. TypeScript catches a whole class of bugs before they reach users and makes the codebase easier for the next developer to understand.
How much does a React project cost?
It depends on the number of screens, the amount of interactivity and the back-end work involved. A marketing site and a data-heavy web app are very different projects, so we quote a fixed price after discovery.
Can non-developers edit a React site?
Yes, if it's set up for it. Content that changes often, like service descriptions, news or team pages, can be managed through a simple editing tool or content management system connected to the React front end, so staff can update it without touching code.
