Front-end development that performs

US-based front-end engineers shipping React, Next.js, Vue, and TypeScript interfaces — fast, accessible, and built for production traffic.

// overview

What this service delivers

Front-end development turns design into the interface your users actually experience. At NextGen, our US-based front-end engineers translate Figma into production-grade React, Next.js, and Vue applications engineered for performance, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.

We build front-ends for marketing sites, SaaS applications, internal tools, and consumer products. Whether you need a pixel-perfect marketing site or a complex data-heavy dashboard, our engineers ship code that stands up to real traffic and grows with your product.

Every interface we build is measured against real metrics — Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse, WCAG, and business KPIs — not just visual fidelity.

// why nextgen

Why choose NextGen Coding

Front-end is where most software teams accumulate technical debt fastest. Under-invested front-ends produce brittle components, inconsistent state, and accessibility gaps that surface as user complaints months later. NextGen's engineers build with component discipline, typed contracts, and testing from the first commit.

Our team ships production React, Next.js, and TypeScript code that senior engineering leaders can hire against. When you eventually bring the codebase in-house, it reads like it was written by your own senior team.

// who it's for

Built for teams that need to move

Design-to-code handoff

Companies with Figma files that need engineered into production-ready React or Next.js.

SaaS product front-ends

Product teams building complex UIs — dashboards, editors, and multi-tenant workflows.

Marketing site engineering

Marketing and growth teams needing performant, SEO-friendly, CMS-driven sites.

Legacy modernization

Teams migrating from jQuery, Backbone, or old Angular to modern React or Vue.

Design system implementation

Companies operationalizing a design system as a shipped component library.

Performance rescue

Existing apps with poor Core Web Vitals, slow first paint, or bloated JS bundles.

// what we deliver

Everything included in a NextGen build

React and Next.js applications

App Router or Pages Router, RSC where it fits, ISR/SSG/SSR chosen per route based on data freshness needs.

TypeScript throughout

Strict TypeScript, typed API contracts, and shared types across front-end and back-end.

Component libraries

Storybook-documented components with accessibility, variants, and visual regression coverage.

Design system implementation

Tokens, primitives, and composite components engineered from your design system.

State management

TanStack Query, Zustand, Redux Toolkit, or Context — chosen for the shape of your data, not fashion.

Forms and validation

React Hook Form + Zod schemas with typed submissions and consistent error surfaces.

Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)

Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader validation.

Performance engineering

Code splitting, image optimization, font loading strategy, and Core Web Vitals tuning.

Testing

Vitest or Jest unit tests, React Testing Library, and Playwright E2E — running in CI.

CMS integration

Contentful, Sanity, Sanity, Payload, and headless WordPress wired into your Next.js front-end.

Analytics and event instrumentation

GA4, Segment, PostHog, and custom event pipelines with typed event schemas.

SEO engineering

Semantic HTML, structured data, sitemaps, canonicals, and per-route metadata.

// our process

How the engagement runs

Week 1

Repo and toolchain

Repo setup, TypeScript config, linting, formatting, CI, preview deploys, and design token pipeline.

Week 2

Primitives and layout

Base primitives, layout shells, and shared providers built and Storybook-documented.

Week 2–N

Feature build

Feature-by-feature build with weekly demos, staging deploys, and iterative feedback.

Ongoing

Test and accessibility coverage

Unit, integration, and E2E coverage added alongside every feature.

Pre-launch

Performance and QA pass

Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals, and cross-browser QA on real devices.

Post-launch

Iteration and observability

Sentry, real-user monitoring, and iteration against real user behavior.

// pricing

Transparent, US-market pricing

Feature build

Time-and-materials engagements for defined feature scopes. Blended rates $150–$220/hr.

Embedded engineer

One or more full-time front-end engineers embedded with your team. Monthly rate scales with seniority.

Fixed-scope build

Marketing sites and defined app modules delivered against a fixed price and milestone schedule.

All pricing is transparent and US-market calibrated. We don't compete on the lowest upfront number — we compete on delivering outcomes that generate the highest return on investment.

// results

Results our clients experience

40% faster load times

A SaaS client's dashboard hit sub-1.5s LCP after we replaced their legacy front-end with a Next.js + React Query rewrite, unblocking enterprise procurement.

Accessibility compliance

A regulated-industry client reached WCAG 2.2 AA compliance across their product, clearing a procurement blocker with three Fortune 500 buyers.

Bundle size cut 62%

A retail client's PDP shrank from 1.8MB JS to 680KB after we refactored to per-route code splitting, with measurable revenue lift on mobile.

// resources

Thought leadership & technical writing

Next.js App Router in production

When to reach for RSC, when to stay on the client, and how to structure data fetching at scale.

React performance patterns

Memoization, list virtualization, and Suspense boundaries that actually move Core Web Vitals.

Design system rollouts

How to ship a design system without stalling product velocity.

// common concerns

Objections, addressed

Our current team can build this.+

Great — many of our best engagements augment strong internal teams during peak periods, or handle a specific high-leverage module while the internal team focuses on core product. We work as an extension, not a replacement.

React is overkill for our site.+

Sometimes. For simple marketing sites, Astro or a static generator can be a better fit — we'll say so. For anything with interactivity, state, or a growth roadmap, React or Next.js pays back quickly.

Front-end quality doesn't matter as much as back-end.+

It matters differently. Back-end failures crash the app; front-end failures quietly drop conversion, accessibility, and retention. Both need engineering discipline.

// faq

Frequently asked questions

Which front-end frameworks do you work in?+

Primarily React and Next.js, with Vue and Nuxt on select engagements. We also work in Astro for content-heavy sites and Remix when routing and forms benefit from its data model.

Do you write tests?+

Yes — Vitest or Jest for units, React Testing Library for components, and Playwright for E2E. Coverage runs in CI on every PR.

How do you handle design system work?+

We build tokens, primitives, and composite components in Storybook with visual regression via Chromatic or Percy. Consumers get typed props and documented usage.

Can you work with our existing back-end?+

Yes. Most of our front-end engagements integrate with an existing REST or GraphQL back-end. We define contracts up front and generate typed clients where possible.
