Custom development
Some projects go beyond what a standard website can absorb: a complex catalog, an internal business tool, an interface that has to respond to the millisecond, a connection to software already in place. This section documents our work on these projects built line by line, with the tools we use every day: code repositories hosted on GitHub, the Astro framework for very fast sites, React for rich interfaces, automated tests and deployments. We explain how a custom project unfolds, from the initial scoping through to acceptance testing, how the roles are divided between your team and ours, and how to stay in control of code you will not be reviewing yourself. You will also find our criteria for choosing between building on an existing base and developing from scratch, along with frank accounts of what eats up time, what saves it, and what we would do differently next time.
