What We Build

Every Layer of the Front-End, Built to a High Standard

From the first pixel to the final interaction — we build front-end systems that look exceptional, perform fast and remain maintainable as your product grows.

Web Application UIs

Complex SPAs and multi-page applications built with React or Next.js — with state management, routing, code splitting and optimised rendering.

  • React / Next.js / Vue
  • State management (Zustand, Redux)
  • Code splitting & lazy loading

Design System Implementation

We translate Figma design systems into production-ready component libraries — typed, documented and testable, built to match pixel-for-pixel.

  • Figma → React components
  • Storybook documentation
  • TypeScript prop types

Data Dashboards

Analytics dashboards, admin panels and data visualisation interfaces — with real-time charts, filterable tables and export functionality.

  • Recharts / D3 / Chart.js
  • Real-time data updates
  • Export & reporting

Animations & Interactions

Scroll-triggered animations, page transitions, micro-interactions and gesture-based UI — all smooth, performant and accessible.

  • Framer Motion
  • CSS animations & transitions
  • GSAP for complex sequences

Performance Optimisation

Auditing and fixing slow front-ends — image optimisation, bundle analysis, Core Web Vitals improvements and Lighthouse score optimisation.

  • Bundle size reduction
  • Image & font optimisation
  • Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP)

Accessibility & Testing

WCAG 2.1 compliance, keyboard navigation, screen reader support and automated accessibility audits built into your development workflow.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
  • Keyboard & screen reader
  • Jest & Playwright testing
Why MetaLabs Front-End

Why Teams Choose Us for Their Front-End

We don't just make things look good — we make them fast, accessible and maintainable. Every component ships with TypeScript types, tests and documentation.

Typical ApproachQuick Build
  • Inline styles & no design system
  • No TypeScript or prop types
  • Animations that jank on mobile
  • Zero accessibility consideration

01

Performance Is Non-Negotiable

We optimise every page for Core Web Vitals — lazy loading, image compression, code splitting and minimal JavaScript — so users experience fast loads on any device or connection.

02

Components That Scale

We build reusable, composable components with clear props and sensible defaults — so adding new features means assembling existing pieces, not rewriting from scratch.

03

Design Fidelity

We implement designs pixel-for-pixel — matching spacing, typography, colour and interaction states exactly — so your product ships looking exactly like it was designed.

04

Handoff-Ready Code

Clean, documented and testable code structured so your in-house developers can extend it confidently — whether they're adding a feature tomorrow or in two years.

Our Process

From Figma File to Production UI

A clear, collaborative process that turns your designs into a living, breathing front-end — with quality checks at every step.

01
Step 01

Design Review & Audit

We review your Figma files before a single line of code is written — identifying missing states, edge cases and inconsistencies upfront.

Figma review Edge cases Design tokens
1–2 days
02
Step 02

Component Architecture

We plan the component tree, naming conventions, file structure and token system so the build is consistent and scalable from day one.

2–3 days

Step 03

Development & Storybook

Components are built in isolation with Storybook — each variant and state documented so you can review and approve before pages are assembled.

Integration & Review

Components are assembled into real pages, API data is wired up, and a pixel-level design comparison review is run before presenting to you.

QA, Performance & Handoff

Cross-browser testing, Lighthouse audits, accessibility checks and full documentation — then a clean handoff with README, component guide and deployment instructions.

Front-End Development Questions

Common questions about our front-end development services, component builds and UI implementation.

Both. If you have a Figma file ready, we implement it pixel-for-pixel. If you don't have designs yet, our UI/UX team can design first and then we implement. Many projects start with a brief design sprint before development begins.

For most web apps and marketing sites we recommend Next.js — it gives you server-side rendering, static generation, great SEO support and a large ecosystem. For pure SPAs or dashboard apps, React with Vite is faster to set up. We'll recommend the right tool based on your content, SEO needs and team after the discovery call.

Always. Every UI we build is responsive from the start — not retrofitted after desktop is done. We design breakpoints collaboratively and test on real devices, not just browser resizing, before anything goes live.

Yes. We regularly connect front-ends to REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, Supabase, Firebase and third-party services like Stripe, Algolia and Auth0. If your back-end is already built, we'll work against the API documentation — or work with your back-end team directly.

We build with WCAG 2.1 AA compliance by default — correct semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, focus management, colour contrast and screen reader compatibility. We run automated audits with axe-core and do manual keyboard and screen reader testing before handoff.

Yes. We write unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library for logic and component behaviour, and end-to-end tests with Playwright for critical user flows. We agree the test coverage scope upfront so you know exactly what's being tested.

You get clean, well-documented code in a Git repository, a README with setup instructions, a Storybook component library, deployment configuration and a walkthrough session. If your team needs onboarding to the codebase, we include that too.
