Flagship capability

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

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

Build With GlobexWhat is included

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.

Most of the client sites on our work page are online stores, and a storefront is only as good as the operations behind it. We build both: a catalogue that stays accurate as stock moves, a checkout that takes payment the way customers actually pay, including local wallets and cash on delivery, and courier integrations that turn a paid order into a booked delivery without anyone retyping an address.

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.

  • Storefront and checkout

    Catalogue, search, cart, and a checkout that takes cards, local wallets, and cash on delivery, built for a phone on a slow connection.

  • 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.

  • Orders, stock, and couriers

    Inventory that stays in step with sales, and courier integrations that book the delivery and send tracking as part of the order.

  • 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.

Do you work with an existing site or only from scratch?

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.

Which CMS do you use?

Whichever suits the team that will edit the content. We build so content is separate from markup, which means a headless CMS can be added at any stage without a rewrite.

Shopify or custom?

If your operation fits Shopify's model, use it, and let us build the storefront and integrations around it. A custom build makes sense when your catalogue, pricing, payment, or delivery rules are unusual. We will tell you which one you need before you pay for either.

Which payment methods can you support?

Cards, mobile wallets, bank transfer, and cash on delivery, depending on the market and the payment provider. Every method is tested end to end in the provider's test mode before launch.

How do you handle SEO?

Server rendering, proper metadata on every route, semantic HTML, fast load times, and a sitemap. Structural SEO is part of the build, not a bolt-on.

Can our own developers maintain it afterwards?

Yes. That is the goal. Typed code, documented decisions, and a handover session are part of every web engagement.
