The challenge

Where teams get stuck

The problems we're most often brought in to solve.

  1. 01

    Legacy front end resists change

    An ageing Angular or jQuery interface is slow to change and increasingly difficult to staff.

  2. 02

    No shared component library

    Components are built ad hoc, so the interface looks and behaves inconsistently.

  3. 03

    Fragmented state management

    Data fetching and state logic are scattered across components, causing defects and slow screens.

Overview

React & Next.js Engineering at VulcanTech

React and Next.js development is the engineering of component-based web front ends in TypeScript, with Next.js adding server rendering and routing. VulcanTech builds and modernises front ends, from migrating legacy jQuery or Angular interfaces to establishing typed component libraries with full test coverage. Next.js is our default where routing and search matter; a Vite single-page application is often the simpler choice for internal tools and dashboards.

Key deliverables

  • Typed component library with Storybook documentation
  • State management architecture
  • Unit and integration test suite in Vitest
  • Migration roadmap for legacy screens

What you get

What React & Next.js Engineering includes

  • Typed component libraries

    TypeScript components documented in Storybook and reusable across products.

  • State architecture

    Redux Toolkit, Zustand or React Query, selected to match the application's data profile.

  • Incremental migration

    Legacy screens replaced route by route, keeping the product releasable throughout.

  • Test coverage

    Unit and integration tests with Vitest and Testing Library from the outset.

  • Rendering performance

    Bundle splitting, memoisation and rendering fixes for slow screens.

  • Accessible components

    Keyboard support, focus management and ARIA patterns built into every component.

Our process

How we deliver

A delivery process you can see into — from first workshop to production support.

Book a free consultation
  1. 01

    Discovery

    A focused working session on your objectives, constraints and existing systems. It concludes with a scoped proposal and a clear view of value, risk and effort.

  2. 02

    Architecture & planning

    We agree the target architecture, data model and integration approach before product code is written, and secure your sign-off.

  3. 03

    Iterative delivery

    Working software reaches a staging environment on a regular cadence, giving stakeholders continuous visibility and the ability to steer priorities.

  4. 04

    Assurance & hardening

    Automated testing, accessibility and performance budgets, and a security review are completed before anything reaches production.

  5. 05

    Launch & continuity

    We manage cutover and remain engaged through an agreed support period, with a structured handover to your teams or ongoing operation by ours.

Engagement models

Work with us the way that suits you

Explore engagement models →
  • Outcome-based delivery

    A defined scope, timeline and commercial model agreed after discovery. We own delivery risk against the agreed outcomes.

    Best for: Well-defined initiatives, MVPs and first releases

  • Dedicated product teams

    A cross-functional pod — engineering, design, QA and delivery leadership — aligned to your roadmap and scaled as priorities change.

    Best for: Long-term product development and evolving roadmaps

  • Team extension

    Senior engineers embed in your organisation, work inside your processes and report to your leaders — on contracts that assign all IP to you.

    Best for: Adding specialist capability without growing headcount

Tools & technologies

Why VulcanTech

A partner, not a vendor

Senior engineering, honest delivery, and work we can name.

  • Senior engineers own delivery

    The engineers who scope your programme in discovery are the engineers who deliver it. There is no hand-off to a junior bench after contract signature.

  • Engagement models that fit

    Outcome-based delivery, dedicated product teams, team extension or global capability centres, matched to how your organisation prefers to work.

  • A verifiable track record

    Every customer story we publish describes real production work, naming the client wherever confidentiality allows, including public-sector platforms secured through competitive tenders.

  • 80+ projects in 16 countries

    Delivered since 2021 across the public sector, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing and consumer technology, for regulated and high-growth organisations alike.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you need? Ask us in the discovery session.

Yes. We typically apply a strangler-fig pattern, replacing routes and components incrementally so the application remains releasable throughout. Users keep working while legacy code is retired screen by screen, and each step is tested and released independently rather than held for a single high-risk cut-over.
