Flagship capability

Web platforms built to be fast, and to stay that way.

Marketing sites, web applications, and the systems behind them. Server-rendered by default, measured against a performance budget, accessible from the first commit.

Overview

Web development is the core of Globex. It is where most of our engagements start and where our standards are most visible: this site is one of ours, and you can measure it in your own browser.

We build in React and Next.js, render on the server unless there is a reason not to, and treat accessibility and performance as requirements rather than a final pass. What you get is a platform your team can keep extending without calling us for every change.

What is included

Every engagement covers the whole job.

  • Discovery and information architecture

    What the site is for, who it serves, and how it is organised, agreed before any screen is designed.

  • Design system and UI

    Tokens, components, and page layouts designed for the content you actually have.

  • Front-end and back-end build

    Next.js, typed end to end, with the data layer and integrations the product needs.

  • Performance budget

    Targets for load time and payload set at the start and checked on every deploy.

  • Accessibility

    Keyboard navigation, contrast, semantics, and screen-reader checks built in, then audited.

  • Launch and handover

    Staged rollout, monitoring, documentation, and a team that knows how to run it.

Approach

How we build for the web

Server components carry the page; client JavaScript is added only where it earns its place. Content lives apart from markup so a CMS can be added later without a rewrite. Every deploy is measured.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Vercel
  • Playwright

How it runs

A typical web platform build

The shape of an engagement, from first conversation to a site the client runs themselves.

  1. 01

    Content and structure first

    We map every page and what it must say before opening a design tool.

  2. 02

    Design in the browser

    Components are designed and reviewed in the real medium, in both themes, at three breakpoints.

  3. 03

    Build with a budget

    Each page ships under its agreed payload; regressions block the merge.

  4. 04

    Audit, then launch

    Accessibility and performance audits, then a staged release with monitoring.

Questions

Things clients ask before they start.

  • Both. We regularly rebuild existing sites and also take over codebases other teams started. We will tell you honestly whether a rebuild or an improvement is the better value.
