Front-End services

The half of your product people actually see.

Interfaces built against measured page-speed numbers, to the accessibility standard, and correct in Arabic as well as English from the first screen. What you keep is a documented component library, not a set of pages that has to be rewritten to add a feature.

SEECO and Athena SMP are both front ends we built and still run.

Overview

Front-End, the way we do it

The front end is where good systems are most often let down. A page that takes six seconds on a phone, a form that cannot be completed with a keyboard, an Arabic layout that was clearly added at the end. None of it shows up in a demo on a fast laptop in an office, and all of it shows up for the person trying to place an order.

We build interfaces against numbers rather than opinions: load time on a mid-range phone over a normal connection, measured before launch and after. You get a component library your own team can keep building on, in both languages, instead of a set of pages that has to be rewritten to add a feature.

How we work

Five steps, no surprises

  1. 01

    We talk

    A call or a WhatsApp thread. You tell us what is not working; we tell you honestly whether we are the right people.

  2. 02

    We scope it

    A written plan with what you get, what it costs and how long it takes. Fixed, so there are no surprises later.

  3. 03

    We build it

    You see it as it goes, not at the end. Changes are cheap while it is still being built.

  4. 04

    We put it live

    On infrastructure we set up and secure, tested before the launch date.

  5. 05

    We keep it running

    Updates, monitoring and someone who answers. Most clients stay on a monthly agreement.

Questions

About front-end

Can you work with a design we already have?

Yes. Send the Figma file, or just the current site, and we build to it. If there is no design, that is a separate piece of work we can do first so nothing gets invented during the build.

Do you rebuild, or improve what exists?

Whichever is cheaper for you. We look at what is there and say honestly which it is. Plenty of slow sites are a handful of fixable problems rather than a rewrite.

What does accessible actually mean here?

Keyboard navigation that works, contrast that passes, labels a screen reader can announce, and focus you can see. It is checked, not assumed.
