Modern Web Stack Consulting

Adopt or migrate to the modern framework ecosystem: TanStack, Shadcn/ui, Vite, TypeScript, and the data layer that fits your product. We bring patterns from a decade of production work, not framework-of-the-month pitches.

Capabilities

What we consult on

  1. 0106module

    Framework Selection & Adoption

    Honest guidance on whether TanStack Start, TanStack Router, or another framework fits your product. We have shipped on all of them and can speak to real tradeoffs, not marketing claims.

  2. 0206module

    Design System Architecture

    Set up Shadcn/ui, Tailwind, design tokens, and a typed component library that scales without becoming a maintenance burden. We share the conventions and tokens we use across our own client work.

  3. 0306module

    Testing Strategy

    Vitest + Testing Library configurations that produce real signal, not noise. We help you decide what to test, what not to test, and how to keep the suite healthy as the product grows.

  4. 0406module

    TypeScript & Code Quality

    Strict TypeScript configurations, Biome/Ultracite linting, and the patterns that catch bugs at compile time instead of in production. Includes migration help for codebases moving from JavaScript.

  5. 0506module

    Data Layer Selection

    Firebase, Supabase, Neon, and Electric each fit different products. We help you pick based on what you actually need (auth, realtime, edge, sync), not on what is trending.

  6. 0606module

    Performance & Core Web Vitals

    Bundle analysis, lazy-loading patterns, image optimization, and the runtime monitoring patterns that catch regressions before users do. Real PageSpeed and runtime data, not synthetic benchmarks.

The Modern Stack

Five layers, designed to compose

The modern web stack is not a single framework. It is a set of layers that compose well. Pick the right pieces for each layer and you get type safety, fast feedback, and a codebase that ages well. Pick the wrong pieces, or skip a layer, and you pay for it for years.

How We Work

A consulting engagement, step by step

We start with what you have today, identify what is working and what is fighting you, and propose a migration path that fits your team's capacity.

We review your current stack: dependencies, build configuration, test coverage, deployment, and runtime metrics. We surface what is helping you ship and what is slowing you down.

A written report with a prioritized migration sequence, scoped by impact and effort. You can execute it with your team or with us; the report stands on its own.

For teams choosing to migrate with us, we handle the foundation move: framework setup, type system, testing infrastructure, build pipeline. Your team learns by watching.

We migrate the highest-leverage patterns first (usually data fetching, forms, and routing) so the team feels the wins early and momentum carries.

We set up Shadcn/ui or your equivalent, define the design tokens, and build the first set of typed components. Your team picks up the rest with patterns to follow.

You walk away with a documented stack, a runbook for adding new patterns, and a set of conventions that hold up as the team grows.

Related Services

Stack consulting pairs naturally with these services

Most teams pair stack consulting with agentic AI adoption; the combination is greater than the sum of the parts. Modern frameworks make agentic loops easier, and agentic loops make migration faster.

FAQ

Common questions

TanStack Start is built on TanStack Router and adds full-document SSR, streaming, server functions, server and API routes, and full-stack bundling: choose it when the browser should not be the only runtime and you want type-safe RPCs and HTML rendered on the server. TanStack Router alone is the better default for a traditional SPA (client-rendered shell, data from your existing APIs, static or CDN hosting) when you are confident you will not need those server features. Both share the same typed routing, loaders, and TanStack Query-friendly data story; Start is the full-stack layer on top. We can help you decide from your SEO, auth, and deployment constraints in one call.

No, and we usually recommend against it. Most migrations succeed by moving in slices: routing first, or data fetching first, or forms first. The slice that produces the largest immediate win sets the order, not a rigid plan.

We do not recommend CSS-in-JS for new work. Runtime style injection adds cost, complicates SSR, and works against a clean Vite CSS pipeline. We prefer Tailwind CSS or Sass written as stylesheets and compiled to static CSS at build time, plus a typed primitives layer like Shadcn/ui when you need components. We have shipped styled-components and Emotion on older codebases; keep them only when migration is not worth it, not as a default for greenfield projects.

Shadcn/ui is built on Radix UI, which handles most ARIA correctness automatically. We layer on automated checks (axe in tests, Lighthouse in CI) and manual review on critical surfaces. Accessibility is non-negotiable in our work.

The patterns are framework-independent. We have helped Vue, Svelte, and even Rails teams adopt the modern testing, type system, and code quality patterns. The framework chapter of the engagement is shorter, but the rest applies directly.
