Your interface,takenseriously.
We take over front-end engineering and design systems for companies that have outgrown an informal UI. Product interfaces, design systems, accessibility and performance. Nearly two decades of formal delivery, designers and engineers as one practice, senior review on every change.
Bring your stack and headcount.
The orphaned
interface.
Most product interfaces past their second year have the same quiet problem. They were built fast, by people who have moved on, and now nobody owns them. Each new feature adds a slightly different button, a slightly different spacing, a slightly different shade of grey. The component library — if there is one — drifts from what is actually shipped. Designers hand over Figma files that engineers interpret differently each time.
The cost is invisible until a redesign lands on the roadmap, and then it is enormous. Or until an accessibility audit fails, a Lighthouse score drops below the threshold an enterprise buyer asked about, or a designer leaves and nobody can find the source of truth. Hiring a senior front-end lead and a senior product designer in the same quarter is rarely affordable. And even when it is, the ramp-up eats three to six months of runway.
A design system,
in production.
Your dedicated front-end engineers sit inside a full product interface practice: engineers, senior product designers, design-system ownership, accessibility and performance under one process. Every component is built once, documented once, and reused everywhere. Every screen ships against the same tokens, the same spacing scale, the same interaction patterns. Every pull request is reviewed against the system and the standard, not against taste.
This is how we have shipped software interfaces for nearly two decades. Named people on your account, senior review on every change, designers embedded with engineers, formal release process, and full visibility in Jira. Scaling the team from two to four typically takes one to two months, with new people inheriting the design system and project knowledge rather than reinventing either.
What we carry is front-end engineering in the round: modern product UIs, design systems, design-to-code workflow, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, performance budgets in CI, and remediation of estates others left undocumented. We work across common frameworks and inherited stacks, including estates that grew without a system. The point is not a short list of libraries. It is a software company that can own your interface end to end, to the same formal standard we apply on backend and platform work.
Employment versus
a delivery team.
Building the same cover yourself means salaries, on-costs, recruitment and ramp-up for engineers, senior design, accessibility and performance. With us, that structure is already in place. Cheaper than employing the same organisation yourself, scoped against your estate rather than a public rate card.
How taking over
works.
Interface audit
1–2 weeksWe map the interface as it actually ships: every component variant, every token in use, every accessibility gap, every Lighthouse regression. You get a written inventory whether or not you proceed.
Design system hardening
2–4 weeksTokens locked. Components consolidated. Storybook (or equivalent) shipped as the source of truth. Figma library synced to code, not aspirational to it. Accessibility gaps triaged by severity.
Parallel running
2–4 weeksWe shadow, then carry. Your current team or contractors wind down on your schedule, not ours. Every new feature ships against the system from day one.
Steady state
OngoingDedicated front-end engineers, senior design review, Lighthouse CI on every PR, Jira in the open. New features, redesigns, performance work, accessibility remediation. You run the product. We run the interface.
What we
carry.
Modern product front-ends
React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Angular and mixed estates. App architecture, server rendering where it earns its place, and engineering that survives beyond the first rewrite fashion.
TypeScript end-to-end
Strict typing, shared contracts between API and UI, generated schemas where useful. The compiler is a control, not a suggestion.
Design tokens
Colour, type, spacing, motion, elevation. Defined once, consumed everywhere. Drift eliminated by construction.
Component library
Built on your existing primitives or a modern system we introduce with you. Documented, versioned, tested, accessible by default.
Figma library
Synced to code, not aspirational to it. Designers and engineers reference the same source of truth. Variants map one-to-one.
Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
Keyboard navigation, screen reader semantics, color contrast, focus management, reduced motion. Audited, not hoped about.
Performance budgets
Lighthouse CI on every pull request. Core Web Vitals tracked in production. Bundle size, image weight, third-party scripts — all gated.
Animation & motion
Framer Motion where it earns its weight. Reduced-motion respected. Micro-interactions that signal state, not decorate it.
Design-to-code workflow
Figma variables mapped to tokens. Dev Mode used properly. The gap between design and ship measured in minutes, not sprints.
Mobile-first responsive
Touch targets, safe-area insets, viewport units that behave. Tested on real devices, not just Chrome DevTools.
Design ops
Naming conventions, file structure, handoff process. Designers stop being a bottleneck because the system carries the weight.
Legacy UI remediation
Angular, jQuery, vanilla — we have inherited all of it. Documented, modernised in place where it makes sense, migrated where it does not.
Reviewed, audited,
reported.
Nothing reaches production on a single person’s approval. Every change goes through pull-request review by a senior front-end engineer, automated quality gates and an accessibility check. Designers review visual fidelity against the design library. Engineers review performance against the budget. Formal roles, formal process, weekly written report so you always know exactly where your interface stands.

a senior bench.
Thirty minutes. Bring your stack and your current UI, and we will show you what a proper interface practice looks like against employing the same cover yourself.
