Front-end development: everything your users see and touch.
The screens, buttons and load times a visitor judges you on, built as a tested component system in React and modern frameworks, with accessibility and performance budgets agreed before sprint one. 4,500+ projects delivered since 2004.
PixelCrayons provides front-end development services: React and modern UI engineering by one senior team. Design systems are implemented as tested, reusable component libraries. Accessibility and performance budgets are engineered into the build rather than audited after it, and pixel accuracy is verified against your design files. Senior review on every merge, with IP and ownership terms agreed before work starts. Direct for brands, white-label for agencies.
Your design files are translated systematically. Tokens (colours, type, spacing) become variables, each design component becomes a coded component with its states, and pages are assembled from tested parts. The result is a component library your team can extend. The next page is composed, not rebuilt, and a design change propagates once instead of being patched across the site.
Every build
02
Accessibility engineered in, not bolted on
Semantic markup, keyboard paths, visible focus states, screen-reader labels, reduced-motion alternatives and WCAG 2.1 AA contrast are build requirements checked in the browser. Retrofitting accessibility after launch costs more than building it in, and the users it serves are real. It ships as standard, not as an upsell line.
Included
03
Performance budgets, measured on real devices
Page-weight and Core Web Vitals budgets are agreed in writing before sprint one. They're measured on every release, on slow connections and mid-range phones, not office machines. If a feature would break the budget, the trade-off comes to you as a decision upfront, not as a slow page discovered later.
Every release
04
Senior review gates on every merge
Nothing reaches your main branch unreviewed. A second senior engineer signs off every pull request against a written standard: correctness, accessibility, maintainability. Review gates keep a component library coherent as it grows. The front end you inherit reads as if one careful author wrote it.
Every merge
05
Pixel accuracy, verified, and handed over
Every build ends with a documented parity review against the design files. Tokens, spacing, type, states and motion checked side by side, deviations fixed as part of the scope. Then it is handed over: repository in your accounts from day one, with IP and ownership terms agreed before work starts. Component documentation is maintained as we build, not promised at the end.
In writing
04
How it starts
From design files to components on staging.
01
Days 1 to 2
NDA signed, files walked
We sign the NDA and walk the design files and target stack together: components, states, edge cases, who maintains it after launch.
02
Complete brief
Proposal, budgets included
An itemised, priced scope with the component inventory, the stack reasoned, and performance and accessibility budgets stated, before you commit to anything.
03
Week 1
Tokens live, preview up
Design tokens extracted into code, the project scaffolded in your repository, CI running and a preview URL standing. You review real pages in a real browser.
04
Start
First components on staging
Core components and a priority page built, reviewed and demoed on a call. Working code you can click and resize, not a slide about progress.
Inside Prism
Your engagement, week to week, in one workspace.
Where the engagement includes it, your build runs in a Prism workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.
Proof
Review gates on, velocity up.
Healthcare · US
Via agency partner · white-label
Multi-location healthcare: fast, because it was disciplined.
An agency handed its delivery queue to a dedicated pod working under their brand, inside their tools and templates. The backlog was triaged honestly, the sprint cadence held, and QA ran before the agency ever saw a build. Delivery sped up 85%, all delivered under the agency's brand.
This page is the engineering of the interface. Want the same team to design and build it, so nothing decays in handoff? That is design-to-code delivery. No artboards yet? UI/UX design is where they're made.
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
Response and start times
We typically respond within four business hours. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published company holidays. Typical expectations, not guaranteed service levels.
Every delivery is reviewed before release by QA, your Project or Account Manager and a senior delivery lead, and you then review it against the acceptance criteria agreed at the start. Our specialists use AI to support delivery, with people responsible for reviewing the work. Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Who owns the ad accounts, the data and the work?
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.
What if we want to stop?
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
How will we know what you are doing?
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
The React family is our deepest bench: React, Next.js and TypeScript are what most of our front-end web development services ship on, alongside Vue and platform theming for WordPress and Shopify where that is what your stack runs. The rule: we staff engineers who work in your framework every week. Where we lack genuine senior depth we say so and point you elsewhere rather than learn on your budget. Framework choice itself is argued from your constraints, what your team can maintain and hire for, not from fashion.
Yes, working from another team's design files is a large share of front-end engagements, and the job is fidelity to their design, not quiet improvements. Files are audited first: missing states, impractical patterns and anything that would fight the performance budget get flagged as questions before build, not improvised during it. Every build ends with a documented parity review against the artboards. If you would rather one team design and build, that promise is our design-to-code service rather than this page.
No, and you should be wary of any front-end development company that does, because scores move with content, third-party scripts and infrastructure we may not control. What we commit to instead is stronger: page-weight and Core Web Vitals budgets agreed in writing before the first sprint. They're measured on every release on throttled connections and mid-range devices, with the measurements shown to you. If a requested feature would break the budget, you get the trade-off as a decision upfront, not a slow page as a surprise.
As an engineering requirement with acceptance criteria, not a statement of intent. WCAG 2.1 AA is the default target: semantic markup, full keyboard paths, visible focus states, screen-reader labels, real colour contrast and reduced-motion alternatives, verified in the browser as features are built. Accessibility issues found in review are defects, fixed inside the sprint like any other. What we do not do is sell a bolt-on 'accessibility audit' of our own fresh code. If we built it, it should have shipped accessible.
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute. Open-source dependencies keep their standard licences, documented in the handover notes.
Yes, front-end builds are among the most requested white-label services. Plenty of strong studios use us as their frontend development agency rather than carry an engineering bench of their own. Your project tools, your client calls, our engineers behind the scenes. It is NDA-backed. We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. That protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it is written into the agreement.
Tell us what you're building, or send the design files. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your itemised proposal, with budgets stated.
