About this service
Build scalable, maintainable software with our experienced engineering teams. We deliver high-quality code and best practices that help your product succeed.
Go to serviceFrontend engineering
Frontends users love. Code teams love to work with.
Clean component architecture
Accessible by default
Performance that ships
Your frontend shouldn't be dragging the team down
Frontends have a way of becoming tangled. A quick CSS fix that never got cleaned up, state managed in three different places, and before long it's dragging the whole team down. The more complex, the more we're in our element.
We untangle the mess
Codebases where one change breaks something across the entire app, pages that take forever to load, the endless reality of making things work across browsers and devices. We bring sense to messy component libraries, sort out state management, and build interfaces that actually behave the way you'd expect.
Alongside your engineers
By getting stuck in alongside your engineers, we don't just fix things and leave. We pair, review, and share knowledge so your team can keep things moving once we've gone. We've done it plenty of times, and we'd be happy to help you do the same.
Concrete outcomes, not just code
We focus on delivering measurable improvements across four key areas that matter most to your product and team.
Performance & architecture
We get your frontend in shape. The right patterns, proper type safety, modern tooling that speeds you up, not slows you down. Nothing fancy for the sake of it.

Team elevation
Shipping is just part of it. We pair, review, and write documentation that actually helps. The goal is always the same: your team doesn't need us anymore.

“Our best engineers are drowning.”
“We inherited a codebase and don’t know its real state.”

“We keep rewriting instead of improving.”
“We’re scaling faster than our processes.”
“Try to excite them, rather than limit madewithlove’s space, and trust their expertise. It can be scary, but these people know what they do.”
Jonas Van Eyck, Project Leader at African Drive
“Releasing a new version takes an entire afternoon.”
“Our MVP was designed by engineers, now customers are struggling.”
Happy clients
We work with companies that want to get their frontend right. Here are examples of how our approach translated into real results.
Fixform
Keeping buildings and spaces in good, safe and clean condition
After their technical co-founder departed unexpectedly, we stepped in with two staff engineers to build a quality-first MVP using Inertia.js, Vue, and Laravel. We established robust CI/CD pipelines, implemented comprehensive testing, and mentored the team through knowledge transfer.

We help our clients succeed
You will not see companies like Amazon among our past clients. You will, however, see the names that will soon rock the SaaS world because we helped them predict risks and avoid failure.

We can help create your frontend
Whether your frontend is slowing you down, holding back new features, or just needs a refresh. We're ready to dig in.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about working with our frontend engineers.
We bring deep expertise across the modern frontend ecosystem including React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Flutter, and React Native. We adapt to your existing stack rather than imposing our preferences.
Absolutely. We specialise in brownfield development, improving what already exists. We excel at refactoring legacy codebases, untangling complex systems, and modernising architectures while your application continues running in production.
We start by profiling your application to identify actual bottlenecks. Then we implement targeted optimisations like code splitting, lazy loading, memoization, and proper state management patterns. We focus on measurable improvements, not theoretical perfection.
Yes. We help establish, maintain, and scale design systems that ensure consistency across your application. We work with modern styling solutions including Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, Styled Components, and more.
Accessibility is built into our development process. We follow WCAG guidelines, use semantic HTML, implement proper ARIA attributes, and test with assistive technologies to ensure your application works for all users.
We establish comprehensive testing strategies using tools like Playwright, Cypress, Jest, Vitest, and Testing Library. We implement unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to catch issues before they reach production.
Knowledge transfer is core to our approach. Through pair programming, collaborative code reviews, and comprehensive documentation, we ensure your team gains the skills and confidence to continue building after we're gone.
Yes. We work with React Native and Flutter to build cross-platform mobile applications, or help modernise existing mobile apps that are stuck on outdated framework versions.
Most engagements last between 3 and 12 months depending on the scope. We stay long enough to make meaningful improvements and ensure your team is confident to continue independently.
We're technology-agnostic, focusing on solving your problems rather than pushing our preferred tools. We specialise in improving existing codebases rather than pushing for rewrites. And we plan our exit from day one, where success means your team's independence, not dependence.
