Web application development
Production-grade web apps that your team can keep maintaining.
SaaS dashboards, customer portals, internal tools, and admin consoles for Tampa Bay startups and SMBs. Built in React, Next.js, or Astro — with TypeScript, real tests, and clean handoff.
Most web app projects fail at handoff. The agency ships, your team inherits a codebase full of one-off patterns, undocumented decisions, and abandoned utility functions, and within six months you are paying someone to rewrite half of it. We do the opposite — we write web apps the way we write our own SaaS products.
BlueScripts ships web applications in React, Next.js, Astro, and TypeScript. We have shipped four production SaaS products on these stacks and run them ourselves. We know which patterns scale, which ones turn into maintenance debt, and which abstractions are worth the lock-in.
If you need a web application built right the first time — fast page loads, accessible UI, type-safe end-to-end, deployed with infrastructure-as-code, tested where it matters — that is the work we do.
What you get
In every engagement
TypeScript end-to-end
Strict TypeScript on the frontend, the backend, and the API contracts in between. Compile-time safety from form to database.
Real performance
Sub-second page loads, lazy-loaded routes, properly cached assets. We measure Core Web Vitals and ship pages that hit them.
Accessibility baked in
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is the default, not a Phase 2 cleanup. Keyboard nav, ARIA, and screen reader testing on every page.
Authentication that works
Sessions, magic links, OAuth, SSO — whatever your auth model is. Integrated with your identity provider or built fresh on Postgres.
Component library, documented
A consistent component library scoped to your design system. Storybook docs included so the next engineer can extend without re-litigating choices.
Deployment automation
Vercel, Cloudflare, AWS, or your own infrastructure. CI/CD pipelines, preview deploys, and rollback playbooks.
How we work
Process
Discovery (2 weeks)
User flows, IA, data model, and a clickable Figma prototype if needed. Output: a written technical plan and a wire-framed UX.
Design system (1 week)
Tokens, components, typography, color, and a documented Storybook. Built once so every page after is fast.
Build (8–16 weeks)
Page by page, weekly deployed slices. Code review on every PR, tests on the critical paths, accessibility checks on every component.
Ship
Production launch with monitoring, error tracking (Sentry), and Core Web Vitals dashboards. Smooth rollout with feature flags.
Run (optional)
Post-launch retainer for feature work, performance tuning, and bug fixes. Most clients stay on for 6 months minimum.

Common questions
FAQ
Do you build with React, Next.js, or Astro? +
All three, picked for the work. Next.js for SaaS dashboards with rich interactivity. Astro for marketing sites and content-heavy applications. Plain React (with Vite) for embeds and SPAs. We choose based on the product, not on a default preference.
Can you work with our existing design system or designer? +
Yes. We frequently embed with in-house designers and adapt to existing component libraries. If you do not have a designer, we can build from a sketch — but a 1–2 week design phase is usually worth the investment.
Do you handle hosting and deployment? +
Yes. We deploy to Vercel, Cloudflare, AWS, or your own infrastructure depending on requirements. We set up CI/CD, monitoring, and runbooks as part of the engagement — not as a Phase 2.
What about authentication and user management? +
We commonly integrate Auth0, Clerk, NextAuth, or build session-based auth on Postgres. SSO via SAML/OIDC for B2B. Whatever your identity model is, we have done it.
How do you handle accessibility? +
WCAG 2.1 AA is the default. Keyboard navigation, ARIA, and screen reader compatibility are tested per-component, not bolted on at the end. We use axe-core in CI and manual testing on critical paths.
Will my team be able to maintain the code after you leave? +
That is the goal. We use mainstream patterns, document architectural decisions, write a real onboarding guide, and avoid clever abstractions that only the original author can read. The handoff is a deliverable.
