SaaS dashboards & admin panels
Data-dense tables, filters, charts and role-based views — the screens your operations team lives in.
Hire · React & Next.js
Hire React developers who ship production UI, not prototypes.
Dedicated React and Next.js engineers in TypeScript — screened on real dashboards, SaaS frontends and design systems they have shipped, and embedded directly into your sprints.
Hourly from $25/hr. Shortlist: 48 hours. Contracts: month-to-month.
What they do
What our React developers build day to day.
Not tutorial React. Production frontends with real users, real data volumes and real deadlines.
Next.js applications
App Router, server components, SSR/SSG and API routes — marketing sites and product apps on one framework.
Design-system components
Reusable component libraries with Tailwind and shadcn/ui or Radix — documented in Storybook, typed end to end.
State management architecture
Choosing and structuring Redux Toolkit, Zustand or context correctly — server state kept in TanStack Query where it belongs.
API integration
REST and GraphQL clients with caching, optimistic updates, retry logic and typed contracts generated from OpenAPI.
Performance & Core Web Vitals
Code-splitting, memoization, bundle analysis, image strategy and render profiling to keep LCP and INP green.
Legacy React modernisation
Class components to hooks, CRA to Vite or Next.js, untyped JS to TypeScript — migrated incrementally without a feature freeze.
Testing that holds
Vitest and React Testing Library for units, Playwright for the flows that make you money — wired into CI.
Real-time interfaces
Live dashboards, presence, notifications and chat over WebSockets or Supabase Realtime — reconnection handled properly.
Accessibility & i18n
WCAG 2.1 AA semantics, keyboard flows and focus management, plus multi-language support with i18next when you need it.
Micro-frontends & monorepos
Turborepo/pnpm workspaces, shared packages and clear module boundaries when multiple teams touch one frontend.
Payments & auth flows
Checkout, subscription and onboarding UI against Stripe or Razorpay, and auth flows with JWT, OAuth or Supabase Auth.

Engagement models
Three ways to hire a React developer.
All models are month-to-month with a free replacement guarantee and senior code review included.
from $25/hr
Pre-agreed block of hours. Best for audits, bug-fix sprints and finishing a stalled frontend.
- Start from a 40-hour block
- Weekly hour reports
- Unused hours roll over one month
80 hrs/month
Half a developer, consistently. Best for steady iteration on a live product alongside your team.
- Fixed daily overlap window
- Same developer every day
- Upgrade to full-time anytime
Full-time dedicated
Most popular
160+ hrs/month
A React engineer who works only on your product — your sprints, your stand-ups, your backlog.
- Exclusive to your product
- Senior team-lead code review included
- Free replacement within 7 days
- 30 days notice to scale down
How it works
From brief to first commit in four steps.
Every React candidate has already passed a live coding review with a senior engineer before you ever see their CV.

Onboarded within 72 hours — repo access, environment running, first PR in the first week.
Why Smart Desizns
We run React in production ourselves.
Our own products ship React frontends to real users every day. The developers we place are held to that same production standard — not a bench that has only seen client demos.
Pharmacy ERP
PharmOS
React web app and admin panels for a production ERP — billing, inventory, GST reports and a partner white-label portal.
Society managementHoodDesk
React-based super-admin and society dashboards driving visitor management, billing and helpdesk across live societies.
Consultation platformAstroOne
Realtime dashboards for a live consultation marketplace — wallets, session state and push, all surfaced in React UIs.
FAQ
Hiring React developers — common questions.
Do your React developers work with Next.js?
Yes. Most of our React work today is Next.js — App Router, server components, SSR/SSG and API routes — alongside classic Vite single-page applications. Tell us which you run and we shortlist accordingly.
Can they take over an existing React codebase?
Yes. Taking over live codebases is the most common brief we get. The developer starts with a short audit — dependency health, state management, render performance, test coverage — then agrees a stabilisation plan with you before adding features.
TypeScript or JavaScript?
TypeScript by default — every React developer we place is fluent in it. If your codebase is plain JavaScript, they can work in it as-is or migrate it incrementally without freezing feature work.
Do React developers also handle backend tasks?
Frontend-focused developers handle Next.js API routes and light Node.js work comfortably. For substantial backend scope we recommend pairing them with a dedicated Node.js developer — we can staff both from the same shortlist process.
What does a dedicated React developer cost?
Hourly engagements start from $25/hour. Part-time and full-time dedicated monthly rates depend on seniority and duration — we quote in writing after a short brief, with no obligation until you have interviewed the candidates.
Need a React developer this month?
Send your stack and hours per week. You will have 2–3 screened React CVs within 48 hours — interview them before you commit to anything.
