Step 03 · Build · 2–6 weeks
Hand-coded, type-safe, and tested.
We build by hand with React and TypeScript — componentized, tested, and performance-checked as we go. You follow progress on a staging environment and see real, working pages long before launch day.
Inside the build phase
- Component-driven development — Your design becomes a library of reusable, type-safe components, which keeps the site consistent and easy to extend.
- Integrations and data — Content management, forms, APIs, and any third-party services wired in and tested end to end.
- Performance and accessibility checks — Speed, accessibility, and responsiveness are checked throughout the build, not left to the final week.
- Progress on staging — A private staging environment where you can click through real pages and give feedback as the build progresses.
What you walk away with
- Componentized codebase — Clean, documented, type-safe code you own — with no proprietary platform lock-in.
- Automated tests — Tests that protect key functionality, so future changes don’t break what already works.
- Staging environment — A private preview of your site to review and approve before it goes live.
What we need from you
- Final content and assets for the pages being built.
- Access to any accounts or systems we need to integrate with.
- Feedback on staging as pages come together.
Common questions about build
Why hand-code instead of using a website builder?
Hand-built sites load faster, are more secure, and come with no platform lock-in. You get code the next engineer — ours or yours — can actually work with.
Can we see progress during the build?
Yes. You get access to a staging environment and regular check-ins, so you see working pages throughout the build, not just at the end.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full ownership of your domain and source code is part of every project.
