PixelCrayons provides front-end development services: the screens your customers see, built in React and other modern tools by one senior team. We turn your design system into a library of tested, reusable parts. Speed and accessibility targets are built in. A senior engineer reviews every change. We work direct for brands and white-label for agencies.
Real projects for real clients, with results we can show.
We turn your design files into code step by step. Colours, type and spacing are stored once as variables. Each design component becomes a coded part with all its states, and pages are built from tested parts. You get a library your team can add to. New pages reuse it, and a design change is made once, not page by page.
WCAG 2.1 AA is the common standard for accessible websites. We build to it and check it in the browser. That covers clear page structure, keyboard use, visible focus states, screen-reader labels, calmer motion options and colour contrast. Adding accessibility after launch costs more than building it in. It comes as standard, never as an extra.
Core Web Vitals are Google's scores for page speed and stability. We agree targets for them, and for page size, in writing before sprint one. We measure them on every release, on slow connections and everyday phones. If a feature would break a target, we bring you the choice first, so you never find a slow page later.
No change reaches your live code without a review. A second senior engineer checks each one against a written standard: does it work, is it accessible, is it easy to maintain. These reviews keep the library consistent as it grows. The front end you inherit reads as if one careful author wrote it.
Every build ends with a written side-by-side check against the design files. We compare colours, spacing, type, states and motion, and fix any gaps within the agreed scope. Then we hand it over. The code sits in your accounts from day one, with IP and ownership terms agreed before work starts. We write the documentation as we build, not at the end.
We sign an NDA. Then we go through the design files and your chosen technology together: parts, states, unusual cases and who looks after it later.
We confirm when the proposal arrives. It lists every part to build, why we chose the technology, and the speed and accessibility targets. It also shows the order and the price.
You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.
We move the design colours, type and spacing into code and set up the project in your repository. Automated checks start running, and a preview link goes live.
The main parts and one priority page, built, reviewed and shown on a call. You get working code you can click and resize, not a progress slide.
Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.
Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your build runs in a workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.
One queue, beside the repository your team owns.
Every task has one owner and a date.
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.
An agency handed its delivery queue to a dedicated team working under its brand, in its tools and templates. We sorted the backlog honestly and kept to a regular sprint schedule. QA ran before the agency saw any build. Delivery sped up 85%, all under the agency's brand.
PixelCrayons provided frontend development support for our application and worked on the user interface with our team. Their developers were able to fit into the project and contribute where we needed additional technical capacity.
The front end is one part of a larger build. Each of the other parts is a service you can buy on its own, from the same senior team.
This page covers building the screens. Want the same team to design and build them, so nothing is lost in the handover? That is design-to-code delivery. No designs yet? Our UI/UX design team makes them.

Know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
All engagements. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
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.
Full termsApplicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Development engagements, including partner (agency) development engagements and AI implementations; not marketing services or retainers.
Full termsYour materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.

All engagements. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
Full termsEvery 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.
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.
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.
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.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
When we build from another team's files, our job is to match their design without quiet changes. So we check the files first. Anything that would force a guess during the build becomes a question before it starts.
| What we find in the files | What we do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Colours, type and spacing | Store them once as variables in code | A design change is then made in one place, not fixed page by page across the site. |
| A component drawn without all its states | Raise the missing states as questions | We agree every state before the build, so nobody has to guess. |
| A pattern that is impractical to build | Flag it before build | It goes back to your designers as a question rather than being quietly changed in code. |
| Anything that would break the performance budget | Bring you the trade-off as a decision | Speed targets are agreed in writing before sprint one. You make the choice upfront and never find a slow page later. |
| What the files rarely show: keyboard use, focus states, screen-reader labels, calmer motion | Build them in to the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, checked in the browser | Adding accessibility after launch costs more. Issues found in review are bugs, fixed in the same sprint. |
| Every page, once built | A written side-by-side check against the designs | We compare colours, spacing, type, states and motion, and fix any gaps within the agreed scope. |
If you would rather one team design and build, that is our design-to-code service rather than this page.
React is where we have the most engineers: React, Next.js and TypeScript. We also work in Vue and build themes for WordPress and Shopify. Your engineers will use your framework every week, and if we lack senior depth in one, we say so. We pick a framework your team can maintain and hire for, not the latest trend.
Yes, and our job is to build their design faithfully, without quiet changes. We check the files first. Missing states, or anything that would slow the page, become questions before we build. Every build ends with a written side-by-side check against the designs. If you'd rather one team designs and builds, that's our design-to-code service.
No. Scores change with content, third-party scripts and hosting we may not control. Instead, we agree page-size and Core Web Vitals targets in writing before the first sprint. We measure them on every release, on slowed-down connections and everyday phones. If a feature would break a target, we bring you the choice first.
As a build requirement with clear pass marks. WCAG 2.1 AA is our default standard. We check page structure, keyboard use, focus states, screen-reader labels, colour contrast and calmer motion options in the browser as we build. Accessibility issues found in review are bugs, fixed in the same sprint. We don't sell an extra audit of our own new code.
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. Plenty of studios use us as their frontend development agency, under an NDA. You keep your project tools and your client calls; our engineers work behind the scenes. We don't approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business, through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it's written into the agreement.
A fixed quote for the building blocks (components) and the pages made from them, priced by how many there are. Then a per-page rate once the library exists, and a retainer for adding pages after launch.
Indicative: every figure is refined into an itemised proposal.INR figures shown excl. GST.
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.
