React.js development

Build fast, flexible, and scalable web apps with experts

When to choose custom React.js development services

React.js is one of the most popular frontend JavaScript libraries. You’re probably looking for a React.js development company if you’re building some sort of a (usually) single-page application or maybe a progressive web app. And we can help you decide if it’s the right way to go.

(If you know why you’re choosing React.js for your software, go ahead and skip this part. We’re doing this mostly for our SEO person, though also for all the people who really want to know whether React.js is the best option for them. But we can talk to you about it, too, instead of making you read all the extra paragraphs.)

React JS is a frontend library, meaning we’ll use it to build the app elements that users will see and interact with in their browser windows. While you can use it to build larger apps, it’s usually best for building smaller pieces of software like single-page apps or websites and progressive web applications. To create a mobile app, you’ll need to use React Native (for example), which is actually derived from React.js.

It’s often easier to build dynamic web apps using React because it requires less coding than JavaScript and offers more functionality. That’s why it’s so popular with developers and businesses building UIs for software like social media apps, chat apps, ecommerce websites, and more.

Now, to determine whether it is the best choice to build your software in, it’s best if you talk to people who can help you see all the pros and cons and see a larger picture – so not just the functionality but also the future of your app, your user requirements, and the business side of things. 

Which is what we’ll gladly help you with – before we even write a line of code. And if we find a better, more optimal solution, we won’t hesitate to tell you while there’s still time to change things around.

The benefits of custom React.js development

  • SEO-friendly

React.js offers excellent page loading times, which is one of the factors Google’s algorithm really cares about (not to mention something your users will be thankful for.)

  • Reusable

React.js components can be reused, saving time for developers that don’t have to write some features from scratch every time. And this, in turn, can make a massive difference in project timelines and budgets.

  • Easy to build and support

The way React.js was created, it allows developers to create apps fast and then also easily update them. Which means you’re never stuck with something nobody wants to update because it’s just not worth it.

  • Flexible

Due to its modular structure, the code written in React.js is really flexible and easy to maintain. And this usually leads to considerable savings – in both time and money.

  • Community-supported

Like many other open-source languages, React.js has an active community that keeps working to make it more efficient and just an overall better programming language. 

  • Used by many Fortune 500 companies

Thousands of companies worldwide use React.js for their apps. This includes Netflix, PayPal, Lyft, and even NASA. So you’ll be in good company (pun intended.) 

 

If you don’t need the whole package, though, you’ll still get the right experts for your kind of project. They can work alongside your team, or you can just hand over the entire thing to us. We’ll figure that out together first to find what works best for you (and us.)

Our Web App Development Tech Stack

What our clients say about our web app development services

We received a great deal of effort for our money, and I’m happy with our collaboration. The quality of work was professional, and their team identified any bugs by themselves most of the time. Based on the ideas we provided, they came back with an improved solution. They also gave us extra product functionalities.
The initial meeting we had with DeSmart before we started the project was really effective. I recommend doing so if you have the opportunity. Also, their communication, speed of development, and expertise were impressive. DeSmart was excellent at providing their own ideas, which benefited the project greatly.
DeSmart is synonymous with service quality. The company works in a truly agile mode, regularly
delivering work increments, which allows to quickly and easily synchronise on requirement details. I was
especially impressed with the dev team’s capability to quickly learn and start using our new APIs.

Will I work with a dedicated contact person on your team?

This really depends on your requirements. We have project managers, testers, and developers on board, and everyone’s equally involved in the project. This means you can talk directly to the developer working on your software and avoid the usual miscommunication that can happen when information travels through the hands and keyboards of multiple people.

We also have a unique company culture. We’re teal-oriented and value a human approach to software development (which is why “Human-first software development” is our tagline) and work in general. And you can see it both in how we run the company and the way we work with our clients.
