React Development

CV Infotech charges $30 per hour for React development from India. A typical React SPA takes 200–600 hours depending on complexity, putting the range at $6,000–$18,000. A React-based SaaS dashboard takes 400–1,200 hours, or $12,000–$36,000. These are real project ranges from our delivered work — not marketing estimates. All projects are scoped to a fixed price before work starts, so you know the exact number before we begin.

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Next.js is a framework built on top of React that adds server-side rendering, static site generation, API routes, file-based routing, and deployment optimisation. React alone requires you to configure routing, data fetching, and deployment separately. Next.js provides these out of the box. For most production applications, we use Next.js rather than bare React — the additional structure is worth the opinionated setup. We use the App Router (introduced in Next.js 13) on all new projects.

A simple React SPA with authentication, basic CRUD operations, and 5–10 screens takes 6–12 weeks with a senior two-person team. A complex SaaS dashboard with advanced data visualisation, real-time features, multi-tenancy, and extensive permissions takes 4–8 months. These timelines assume we receive designs before development starts. If design is part of the scope, add 3–6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline with every proposal and track against it weekly.

Yes — TypeScript in strict mode on every project. No exceptions. We have seen enough production JavaScript codebases to know that the time saved by skipping TypeScript is always paid back with interest during debugging. Strict mode means no 'any' types, no implicit type coercions, and no ignoring TypeScript errors. If a client asks us to disable TypeScript, we explain why that is a bad idea. If they insist, we decline the project — it is that important to code quality.

Yes, frequently. We review the existing code before providing a proposal — we need to understand what we are working with. Common situations: a Bolt or Lovable prototype that needs production-hardening, a React 16 class component codebase that needs modernising, or a codebase built by a previous team that the client no longer has confidence in. We audit the codebase, document what we find, present a remediation plan, and execute it in phases so your product continues shipping during the process.

It depends on the application. Simple applications with limited shared state use React Context and useReducer — no external library needed. Applications with complex shared state, optimistic updates, or cache invalidation requirements use Zustand (our preference for modern projects) or Redux Toolkit (for larger teams with established Redux patterns). We do not use MobX or Redux without Toolkit on new projects. We document the state management decision in the README so any developer who joins the project later understands it immediately.

All our React web applications are fully responsive by default — we use Tailwind CSS utility classes to build layouts that work across screen sizes from 320px to 4K. For native iOS and Android apps, we use React Native, which is a separate project from React for web. The two share business logic, types, and API integration code but have separate UI layers. If you need both a web application and a native mobile app, we can scope them together and optimise for code reuse across the two platforms.

Performance is built into the development process, not added at the end. We use React.memo and useMemo deliberately (not by default — unnecessary memoisation adds overhead). We split code by route. We lazy-load non-critical components. We monitor bundle size with each build — no dependency is added without checking its bundle impact. We run Lighthouse CI in our build pipeline. Any route scoring below 90 on performance blocks deployment. Before final handover, every route is audited and all critical performance issues are resolved.

Yes — unconditionally. Full source code is transferred on final payment. You receive the Git repository, all branches, all commit history, all environment variable documentation, and the deployment configuration. We retain no rights to the code. We use no proprietary tools or frameworks that create ongoing dependency on CV Infotech. Any React developer in the world can read, modify, and extend the codebase without our involvement.

If your project is a marketing site, a brochure site, or a content site with minimal interactivity, React is almost certainly the wrong tool. A WordPress site, a static HTML site, or a no-code builder will load faster, cost less, and be easier for a non-developer to update. React adds complexity that is only justified when you have genuine application logic: user authentication, complex state, real-time data, data-heavy screens, or a product that will grow significantly in scope. We will tell you if we think React is not right for your project — and suggest the better alternative.
