Custom frontend development
React and Next.js support our custom website work, with reusable components and server-rendered content where appropriate. We plan the interactive layer around the actual page requirements.
Capabilities · Technology
The right tools for the experience.
Darwin’s approach to custom frontend development, content management and web animation. We choose the technical setup around the website and the team maintaining it.
The thinking
Technology is a project decision. The useful question is what your site needs to do, who will update it and how it should evolve after launch.
Content management
A headless CMS or a visual platform such as Webflow can support different editing workflows. We define content types, roles and integrations before choosing the setup.
Motion and creative coding
CSS, JavaScript and Three.js can be used for transitions, interaction and 3D experiences. We choose the simplest implementation that supports the idea and plan usable alternatives for complex media.
From idea to delivery
Decisions that outlast the launch.
A proposal should explain how content, hosting, integrations and maintenance fit together. Tool choice follows those requirements.

Before we begin.
Do all projects need a custom Next.js build?
No. A custom build is appropriate when its flexibility serves the brief. Simpler editing requirements or an established platform may justify a different approach.
Can you work with our existing stack?
We can assess it once you share the framework, CMS, hosting and integration requirements. Any constraints or migration work will be reflected in the scope.
