React Agency

An interface with a limited scope, a few screens with simple interactions, remains the quickest case to price. It depends above all on the number of screens, the complexity of the interactions requested and the connections to plan with your API or your existing tools: two interfaces with the same number of screens can cost very differently depending on what happens behind each click. After a first conversation about your screens and your data, we draw up a quote covering the scoping, the component-by-component development and the production release, validated before any code is written.

A limited scope wraps up in 21 to 60 days, the time to frame the screens, develop the components and connect the real data through to production release. A broader tool, with many modules or a complete rebuild of something existing, calls for closer to 60 days. This schedule always includes a testing phase with real users before the final switchover, a stage we never shorten, even under deadline pressure, because it is what avoids nasty surprises after going live.

The two do not answer the same need. WordPress suits a site whose content is managed day to day by your team, pages and posts included. React is made for an interface driven by user actions rather than by content publishing: a business tool, a client area, a configurator. If your project also has to be found on Google, we steer towards Next.js rather than React alone. This choice is settled from the first conversation, according to what your users actually have to accomplish on screen.

Yes, we start by reading the existing code: how the components are organised, the dependencies installed, the measured response time and the debt accumulated over successive changes. Depending on this diagnosis, we take over development module by module, first isolating the most fragile components to rework them without touching the rest of the application. A complete rewrite remains rare: we only propose it if the existing base makes that option safer and faster than a progressive takeover.

Yes, but nothing is imposed: an optional annual package can be put in place, priced according to the actual scope of the application delivered. It covers updating the dependencies, monitoring the errors reported in production and the associated fixes. React publishes regular versions of its dependencies, and a tool left without follow-up for several years accumulates security flaws that are hard to fix all at once. The content of the package is decided with you at delivery, according to the independence your technical team keeps.

Yes, without exception: the source code and the version control repository belong to you from final delivery onwards, whatever level of involvement you had in the project. Since React is an open source library, nothing ties you contractually to Skyward afterwards: another team, in house or external, can take over development without our agreement or our involvement. We keep no access to the hosting or to the code once the assignment is over, and you freely choose who hosts and develops the application afterwards, including the day after delivery.

No, not by default: React builds the interface in the visitor's browser, which search engines index poorly without additional configuration. For an internal tool or an authenticated client area, this limit has no consequence since the page is not meant to appear in a search. If on the contrary your project has to be found on Google, we build directly in Next.js rather than in React alone, so as not to have to correct this point after going live.
