Developers for Your Team, and Fixed-Scope Work When That Is What You Need
Almost everything here is one offer: vetted JavaScript developers who join your team and are briefed by you. The exception is a short list of defined projects — audits, migrations, API builds — that have an end date instead of a start date.
The Whole Catalogue Reduces to This
Every page linked below is one of these two things. Knowing which one you are buying changes what you should ask for and how you should judge it.
We supply developers
You already have a codebase, a board and a direction. You are short of hands. We send two or three vetted profiles within three business days, you interview them yourself, and whoever you pick joins your standup and takes work from your backlog like anyone else on the team.
You are buying capacity and judgement, priced per developer per month or per hour. There is no scope document, because the scope is whatever you decide this sprint. There is no account manager either — you brief the developer directly.
- Priced per person, per month or per hour
- You set priorities and run the process
- Replacement at no cost inside the first two weeks
We do a defined piece of work
Some work has a clear edge around it. An audit produces a findings report. A TypeScript migration ends when the last file compiles under strict mode. An API build finishes when the documented endpoints behave as specified. These are projects, quoted as projects, with a deliverable you can point at.
Fixed-scope work is frequently how a relationship starts. An audit costs a fraction of a month of headcount and tells you whether the codebase is worth hiring into at all, which is a question worth answering before you sign anyone up.
- Fixed price agreed before work starts
- A written deliverable, not an open-ended retainer
- No obligation to hire anybody afterwards
Name the Role, We Send the People
Each page below covers what the role does day to day, what separates a junior from a senior in that specific stack, and what we test for before a profile reaches you.
React Developers
Component boundaries, state that lives in the right place, and the re-render problems that only surface once the data set gets real.
Hire React developersNode.js Developers
Service boundaries, database access patterns, background work and the quiet operational habits that keep a backend upright at 3am.
Hire Node developersFull-Stack Developers
People who can chase a bug from the button click through the endpoint to the query that caused it, without handing it over halfway.
Hire full-stack developersTypeScript Developers
Types that encode the rules of your domain and catch real mistakes, rather than annotations added to make the compiler stop complaining.
Hire TypeScript developersReact Native Developers
Developers who have shipped through store review, debugged a native module and know where the web habits stop working on a device.
Hire React Native developersVue Developers
A smaller hiring pool than React, which is exactly why it is worth being fussy. Composition API, reactivity rules and the Options API you inherited.
Hire Vue developersNext.js Developers
Rendering decisions, caching behaviour and the server boundary. The framework where getting the defaults wrong is expensive and invisible for months.
Hire Next.js developersDedicated Teams
A JavaScript pod rather than a sequence of separate hires: frontend, backend, full-stack and QA who already work together.
About dedicated teamsBackend Frameworks We Staff For Specifically
Framework experience is not interchangeable. Somebody strong in Express is not automatically comfortable with dependency injection and module boundaries, and the reverse is just as true.
Node Frameworks Compared
What each one is genuinely good at, and which choice you should stop arguing about.
Compare frameworksNestJS Developers
Structure, modules and dependency injection, for teams big enough that the structure pays for itself.
Hire NestJS developersExpress Developers
Still the default, still fine for most services, and still the place middleware order quietly ruins an afternoon.
Hire Express developersFastify Developers
Throughput, schema-driven validation and plugin encapsulation, for services where request cost actually shows on the bill.
Hire Fastify developersThe Libraries Around the Language
Most JavaScript hiring goes wrong on the ecosystem rather than the language. A developer who knows React but has never had to reason about cache invalidation will cost you a fortnight learning it in your repository.
React Ecosystem
- Routing and rendering models, including what Next.js changes
- Server state versus client state, and why conflating them hurts
- Redux Toolkit, Zustand, and the cases where neither is needed
- Forms, validation and the schema that both ends can share
Node Libraries
- ORMs and query builders, and when raw SQL is the honest answer
- Queues and background jobs that survive a process restart
- Real-time transports, and how to tell whether you need one
- Validation, sessions and the authentication pieces people get wrong
Testing & Automation
- Unit, integration and end-to-end, and the right ratio between them
- Test suites people trust, rather than suites people re-run until green
- Continuous integration that fails for reasons worth reading
- Adding coverage to a codebase that has never had any
Projects With an End, Not a Headcount
These are quoted as pieces of work with a defined deliverable. They are the one part of this business that looks like a conventional agency engagement, and they are priced that way.
Code Audits
An outside read on a codebase you inherited or no longer trust, delivered as a written report that separates dangerous from merely untidy.
About code auditsTypeScript Migration
Moving a JavaScript codebase to TypeScript in stages that keep shipping, instead of a branch that never merges.
About TypeScript migrationLegacy Modernisation
Dragging an old build, an abandoned framework or an unmaintained dependency tree forward without stopping feature work for a quarter.
About legacy modernisationAPI Development
Building or repairing an API against a written contract: resource design, versioning, auth, pagination and documentation your clients can actually use.
About API developmentPerformance Work
Measuring first, then fixing what the measurement found. Slow queries, oversized bundles, rendering waste and the request nobody noticed runs twice.
About performance workTesting & Automation
Either a defined project to build a suite from nothing, or a developer who brings the habit with them. Both work; they suit different situations.
About testing workHow to Tell Which One You Actually Need
The test is not the size of the work. It is whether anyone on your side already knows what good looks like for this problem.
The work is continuous and you own the direction
- You have a backlog that keeps refilling rather than one job to finish
- Priorities change often enough that writing scope would waste both our time
- Someone on your team can review the work and say whether it is right
- You want the knowledge to stay in the team afterwards
The work has a clear edge and a definition of done
- You can describe the finished state in a sentence somebody else would recognise
- Nobody internal has the time or the appetite to own it week to week
- You need an outside opinion precisely because it is an outside opinion
- The budget has to be a number before anything can start
If you are genuinely unsure, the cheap move is an audit. It is fixed price, it ends with a document, and it tells you whether the next step is a hire, a migration or a difficult conversation about the architecture. Details of both commercial shapes are on engagement models and pricing.
What We Do Not Offer, and Why That Is the Point
A supplier who says yes to everything is telling you something about how thinly they staff. Here is what we turn down, so you can stop reading earlier if we are the wrong fit.
Questions About Choosing a Service
Do I need to choose between hiring a developer and a fixed-scope project?
No, and plenty of clients do both. A common sequence is a code audit first, because it is fixed price and tells you what you are actually dealing with, followed by a developer hire once the picture is clear. The two are separate agreements, so starting one does not commit you to the other.
Can one developer cover more than one of these areas?
Often, yes. A senior full-stack developer will usually handle React on the front and Express or NestJS on the back without difficulty. Where it stops working is when both halves are demanding at the same time, because context switching quietly costs you about a day a week. If both sides need real attention, two people are cheaper than one person doing both badly.
What if the stack we use is not listed on this page?
Tell us anyway. These pages cover what we supply regularly rather than an exhaustive list. If a role sits at the edge of JavaScript, such as a Node service that talks to a Python model, we will say honestly whether we can staff it. If the centre of the work is not JavaScript at all, we will tell you that too rather than sending a profile that half fits.
Why do you not offer design or full product delivery?
Because doing that well needs a different kind of company. Delivery businesses carry project managers, designers and QA leads, and their prices reflect that overhead. We carry developers. If you need somebody to own an outcome from start to finish, a delivery agency serves you better, and we would rather say so than take the work and staff it thinly.
How do I decide which page to start on?
If you know the role, go straight to that page and send the brief. If you know the problem but not the role, start with engagement models or pricing, because both frame the decision in hours and commitment rather than job titles. If you are not confident the codebase is healthy enough to hire into, start with a code audit.
Send the Role, Not a Requirements Document
Stack, seniority and the hours you need covered is enough to start. Two or three vetted profiles come back within three business days.
