Your front-end, our problem.
Koneqt runs dedicated UI/UX and front-end teams for companies that would rather not carry one in-house. Websites, web apps, design systems, native apps. You get a dedicated specialist with a full team behind them, at a fraction of the cost of employing.
The real cost of employing a front-end.
The salary you agree is not what a developer costs. On top sit employer National Insurance, pension, recruitment fees, equipment and the overhead nobody itemises. Then the deductions start: statutory leave, sick days, and the months it takes to learn your codebase before they are fully productive.
And underneath it all, the risk that rarely gets priced in: when the one person who knows the front-end resigns, they take the front-end with them.
In practice you pay for a full year and receive closer to eleven months of delivery, from one person working alone, with no senior colleague to turn to when something goes wrong.
A specialist, with a team behind them.
We take over your front-end work end to end: UI, UX, design systems, builds and upgrades.
You get a dedicated specialist who knows your product. Behind them sits the part no single salary can buy: senior engineers reviewing the work, DevOps maintaining the pipeline, and a UI/UX bench that has shipped for clients from five-page brochure sites to platforms serving millions of visits a month.
If your dedicated specialist moves on, the transition is seamless. The knowledge lives in the team, the process and the documentation, rather than in one person. That is the point.
One employee, or a team.
| Employ one developer | Koneqt front-end team | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | A salary, plus the on-costs nobody itemises: NI, pension, recruitment, equipment | One predictable contract, at a fraction of the all-in cost. Typically four specialists for the cost of two employees |
| Leave and sickness | 28+ days a year, leaving gaps to cover | Covered. You pay for a contract, not a person |
| Ramp-up | Months to learn your codebase | Two to four weeks to onboard. Larger estates get a structured discovery |
| Tool licences | Figma, Adobe and the rest, on your bill | Included. We carry the licences, you do not |
| Escalation | Limited to who they can reach | Senior engineers and DevOps within the team |
| If they leave | The knowledge leaves with them | Continuity is structural; the handover is invisible to you |
The leave alone is close to an extra month of delivery per developer per year. The rate difference is on top, and we will show it to you on your own numbers, not from a price list.
How taking over works.
We map your codebase, designs, tooling and deployment. Small and mid estates, two to four weeks. High-traffic estates get the deeper discovery they need.
Your current arrangement keeps running while we take the load over, with no abrupt cut-over.
We carry the front-end. Jira-tracked, documented, senior-reviewed. You have full visibility.
First onboarding carries a one-off cost over the first two to three months, while we learn your system properly. It happens once. Every developer we add after that inherits the knowledge.
What you can hand us.
Websites and web apps. React and modern JavaScript front-ends. Design systems and component libraries. UI/UX design and UI/UX development as two distinct specialisms, not one person stretched across both. Prototyping and user flows in Figma. WordPress estates. Native and cross-platform apps for Android and Apple. Accessibility and performance work. The redesign you have been deferring.
Every designer and developer works with AI tooling as standard, and the licences come included. Figma, the Adobe suite, ChatGPT and Cursor sit on our bill, not yours.
Tested before it reaches you.
A dedicated QA team, with a QA lead and testers, checks the work before it ships. Manual and automated testing, run through a defined process with clear roles and permissions in Jira, so issues are caught before they reach you rather than after.
The questions you were going to ask.
Common questions / 07No. You set the priorities, you see the Jira board, you approve the releases. We carry the execution.
A dedicated specialist assigned to your account, backed by senior engineers and DevOps. You will know your team by name. The difference from employing is what stands behind them.
Your contract is with the team, not the person, so cover is our responsibility and work continues even when individuals are away.
Two to four weeks for most estates. Larger or higher-traffic estates need a structured discovery first, and we will say so before committing to a timeline. We would rather give you an accurate date once we have seen the code than an optimistic one beforehand.
Less than employing, and we do not publish rates, because the comparison only means something against your own all-in figures. Bring your team size and what it costs you, and we will work it through with you. Typically the answer lands at four specialists for the cost of two employees.
