Front-end development built for performance, accessibility, and the long-term maintainability of your platform.

T-F writes front-end code built to last: responsive builds, accessibility, and performance optimization.

All Work

Our Front-End Process

01

Technical planning and architecture

We plan the technical approach before writing code: framework selection, component architecture, performance budgets, and the accessibility standard the build will meet. These decisions are cheap to make now and expensive to change later, so they get made deliberately.

02

Build with performance budgets

We build against defined performance budgets: load time, Core Web Vitals, and runtime efficiency are tracked from the first commit, not audited at the end. Code is structured for the developers who will maintain it after us, because unmaintainable code is technical debt on day one.

03

Accessibility and quality assurance

Accessibility is verified against WCAG standards with automated and manual testing, and every build is QA tested across the devices and browsers your users actually use. What ships works for everyone, not just the happy path on a fast connection.

04

Launch, measurement, and hardening

We support launch, monitor real-world performance against the budgets we set, and harden anything that behaves differently in production than in staging. You get documentation and a codebase your team can confidently build on.

Our team

The team behind the interface.

Engineers who sweat the milliseconds, the accessibility tree, and the code the next developer inherits.

Utile Design

Temper And Forge helped us launch our new website — during the discovery phase, they asked questions about our primary goals and helped us shape the vision together. Using our refreshed brand style guide, they developed three different options for how to execute on the website, then built everything out in Figma before moving to development. Following launch, we saw significant increases in organic search traffic and time on page. They were always up for a challenge — if we had modifications, they would definitely meet and exceed those — and every team member showed genuine care for their craft.
