Build faster interfaces and ship React that scales without rework
Your next storefront, portal, or SaaS user interface built with React and Next.js: component-first, performance-tested, and integrated with your existing backend on day one. No framework lock-in. No bloated boilerplate.
Why teams switch
The difference between a React build that scales and one that does not
Most React projects fail at the architectural layer, not the component layer. Here is what that looks like in practice.
The typical build
No component architecture upfront
Components duplicated across pages, no shared library, design drift after month 2
SSR added as an afterthought
First contentful paint tanks. Core Web Vitals fail. Search engine optimization traffic drops within weeks of launch.
State management bolted on mid-project
Context API overused, Redux added late, data fetching inconsistent across features
Zero accessibility from the start
ARIA retrofitted at the end, never properly. Keyboard navigation broken. Legal exposure grows.

The Redefine build
Component library designed in Sprint 1
Design tokens, shared primitives, Storybook documentation. Every team member builds from the same source.
Next.js SSR/SSG decided at architecture, not retrofitted
Every page gets the right rendering strategy (static, server, or incremental) based on content type and traffic pattern.
State strategy defined before first component
Zustand, React Query, or Context, chosen for the use case, not habit. Data fetching consistent from day one.
WCAG 2.1 AA baked in at component level
Axe runs in CI. Keyboard navigation tested each sprint. No accessibility debt to pay at launch.

What we build
Every React engagement we ship
Headless storefronts
Headless React storefronts that load in under 1 second
Your commerce frontend decoupled from the platform. React handles the user interface, Next.js handles rendering strategy, and your existing Shopify, BigCommerce, or custom backend provides the data. Full control over every pixel and every millisecond.
Next.js App Router + RSC
Incremental Static Regeneration
Shopify Storefront API
BigCommerce GraphQL
// pages/products/[handle].tsx
export async function getStaticProps() {
const product = await shopify.getProduct(handle)
// revalidate every 60s via ISR
return { props: { product }, revalidate: 60 }
}
export default function ProductPage({ product }) {
return <ProductLayout
data={product}
schema={buildProductSchema(product)}
/>
}
Component systems
Component libraries your design and engineering teams both own
A documented, versioned component library built with your design tokens. Every button, form, modal, and data table ships with accessibility baked in and Storybook documentation your team can maintain without us.

B2B portals and dashboards
B2B portals and real-time dashboards connected to your backend
Customer account portals, order management dashboards, and internal tools built with React. Connected to your ERP, customer relationship management system, or custom API via REST or GraphQL. Role-based access, live data, and export-ready reporting.

Company
DrivingI
B2B automotive parts platform serving dealer networks across the United States. Complex catalog management, customer approval workflows, and real-time ERP pricing sync.
Built with
Node.js • Next.js • Dynamics 365 • Salesforce • BI tools
The problem
The legacy platform could not support complex B2B workflows. Inventory syncing was unreliable, catalogs loaded slowly, customer approvals were manual, and system data was fragmented across ERP, customer relationship management, and marketing tools.
Catalog load times making buyers abandon
Manual approval process blocking orders daily
Pricing data fragmented across ERP and storefront
Result
0friction points eliminated
Faster catalog performance, reliable live inventory sync from Dynamics 365, and automated B2B approval flows, all delivered in a React + Next.js headless architecture
Real-time Dynamics 365 ERP pricing sync
Custom B2B approval + access control system
Salesforce + BI tools integrated end-to-end
Architecture
The rendering layer we choose for every build
Not every page needs SSR. Not every route needs SSG. We map your content types to rendering strategies in Sprint 1 so you never pay the performance cost of the wrong choice.
Static Site Generation (SSG)
Pages built at compile time and served from the edge. Zero server overhead per request. Use for marketing pages, product listings, blog content.
Time to first byte: approximately 50ms from edge CDN
No server cost per page view
Best for: landing pages, product detail pages with stable content
Request routing • Next.js App Router
Browser request
user.drivingi.com/catalog/brake-pads
Next.js Router matches route
app/catalog/[slug]/page.tsx • ISR strategy
Server Component fetches data
Dynamics 365 API • live pricing • inventory
HTML streamed to browser
FCP under 1.2s • cached at edge for 60s
Why Redefine
What a React specialist does differently
Every React agency can render a component. The difference is in the decisions made before the first component is written.
Architecture audit in Sprint 1, not after launch
We define rendering strategy, state approach, and component architecture before writing a line of production code. Technical debt is a cost you pay at launch. We eliminate it before it starts.
Accessibility built into the component, not bolted on
Every component ships with keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and ARIA attributes. Axe runs in CI every sprint. No accessibility backlog to clear before launch.
Ecommerce and B2B domain depth, not generic agency output
We have built React frontends for Shopify headless storefronts, B2B order portals, ERP-connected dashboards, and catalog platforms. Your domain patterns are not new to us.
Storybook documentation your team inherits and maintains
Every component ships with a Storybook story, prop documentation, and usage examples. Your team can extend the library after handoff without reading source code.
Core Web Vitals targeted from the start, not measured at the end
Lighthouse runs on every pull request. We track First Contentful Paint, Largest Contentful Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift from Sprint 1. Performance is a constraint, not a follow-up task.
You own the code and can maintain it after we leave
TypeScript throughout. Inline comments on complex logic. No proprietary abstractions. Every decision documented in handoff notes so your next hire can read the codebase without calling us.

Questions
What buyers ask before they scope a React build
We build headless ecommerce frontends, B2B portals, SaaS dashboards, component libraries, and React Native applications. Most engagements involve Next.js with server-side rendering or static site generation, connected to a headless CMS or ERP via APIs.
We default to Next.js for production React builds because it gives you SSR, SSG, image optimization, and edge deployment out of the box. Standalone React is available for single-page applications, dashboards, and component libraries where a full Next.js setup would be overhead.
A component library or feature-level build runs 4 to 8 weeks. A full headless storefront or B2B portal build runs 8 to 16 weeks depending on integration complexity. We scope sprint-by-sprint so you always know what is in the next two weeks.
Sprint-based builds start at $12,000 for a focused component or feature scope. Full headless frontend builds start at $28,000 scoped before work begins. Ongoing React team augmentation starts at $4,800 per month per senior engineer.
Yes. Most of our React builds are headless frontends connected to a backend via REST or GraphQL APIs. We have production experience connecting React frontends to Dynamics 365, Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce, and custom Node.js APIs.
Is this right for you?
React is the right choice when
Good fit
- You are decoupling a frontend from Shopify, BigCommerce, or a custom backend and need a performant, maintainable user interface layer
- You need a component library that a growing design and engineering team can own and extend without architectural guidance every sprint
- Your current frontend has Core Web Vitals failures that are costing you organic traffic or conversion rate
- You are building a B2B portal, SaaS dashboard, or internal tool that needs complex state management and real-time data from an API
Not the right tool
- You need a basic Shopify theme or landing page. A full React build is overhead that will slow you down, not speed you up
- Your team has no in-house frontend capability to maintain a React codebase post-launch. Ownership matters more than technology choice
- Your backend is not API-capable and the data layer does not yet exist. The React build will block on the backend, not the other way around
