Why React?
React introduced a component model that makes complex UIs manageable. Instead of wrangling DOM state across a sprawling codebase, React lets you build self-contained components that compose together like building blocks. The mental model is straightforward: given some data, what should the screen look like? React handles the rest.
With React 19, the library has matured significantly. Server Components reduce bundle sizes by keeping data-fetching logic off the client. The React Compiler automatically optimizes re-renders that developers previously handled manually with useMemo and useCallback. The ecosystem around React, from testing tools to state management libraries, is unmatched in the frontend world.
React's dominance means talent availability. Finding React developers is easier than finding specialists in other frameworks. The community produces high-quality tutorials, libraries, and tooling that accelerate development.
Our Approach
We build React applications with a clear component hierarchy: small, focused components that each do one thing well. State lives as close to where it is used as possible. For global state, we reach for Zustand or React Context depending on complexity. We avoid over-abstraction and premature optimization, focusing instead on readable code that new team members can understand quickly.
Our component library builds on Radix UI primitives and shadcn/ui patterns, giving us accessible, unstyled building blocks that we style with Tailwind CSS. Every interactive component gets keyboard navigation and screen reader support by default, not as an afterthought.
Testing uses React Testing Library for component tests and Vitest for unit tests. We test behavior, not implementation: what users see and do, not internal component state.
Real-World Application
Every Next.js project we build uses React as the UI layer. PttAVM Clone demonstrates React's component model at scale: product cards, search filters, shopping carts, and checkout flows all composed from reusable components.
Component patterns we implement:
- Compound components for complex UI like modals and dropdowns
- Controlled and uncontrolled form patterns
- Custom hooks for reusable logic
- Error boundaries for graceful failure handling
The same React components can render on the server (React Server Components) or the client depending on interactivity requirements.
When to Choose React
React makes sense for any project with significant interactivity: dashboards, data visualization, form-heavy workflows, or applications where the UI needs to respond to user input in real time.
If you are building a marketing page with minimal interactivity, React adds unnecessary complexity. If your team has deep Angular or Vue experience and no desire to switch, stick with what you know. But for new projects that need a rich, maintainable frontend with access to the largest ecosystem of tools and talent, React remains the pragmatic choice.
Our Track Record
We have built React applications ranging from internal admin dashboards to customer-facing SaaS products handling thousands of concurrent users. Our projects emphasize accessibility, performance, and maintainability. We have helped teams adopt React incrementally, migrate from class components to hooks, and restructure monolithic codebases into composable component libraries.
FAQ
Should we use React or Vue? React has a larger ecosystem, more job market availability, and stronger enterprise adoption. Vue has a gentler learning curve and excellent documentation. For new projects, we recommend React unless your team already has Vue expertise.
Do you still use class components? No. All new code uses functional components with hooks. For legacy codebases, we migrate class components to hooks incrementally during feature work.
How do you handle state management? React Context for simple global state. Zustand for medium complexity. We avoid Redux for new projects unless there are specific debugging requirements that Redux DevTools uniquely serves. Server state is managed through React Query or SWR.
