React vs server-rendered (WordPress, Laravel)?
+
React adds complexity — only worth it if you need rich interactivity, complex client state, or a shared component library across products. For content-led marketing sites, server-rendered usually wins on simplicity, SEO and cost.
Next.js vs Remix vs vanilla React?
+
Next.js for most projects (largest ecosystem, App Router, ISR, Vercel deployment). Remix for projects valuing forms + server actions + simpler data loading. Vanilla React only for embedded widgets or internal tools where SSR isn't needed.
How do you handle SEO with React?
+
SSR or ISR via Next.js, proper meta tag management, server-rendered structured data. We don't ship SPA React for SEO-critical sites — Google can technically render JS but it costs you crawl budget and time-to-index.
What about state management?
+
For most apps: Zustand or Jotai. For complex shared state: Redux Toolkit. For server state: React Query / SWR. We choose per project — not by reflex.
Do you use Tailwind?
+
Yes for most projects, paired with a component library (Radix UI for headless, or custom). Some clients prefer CSS Modules or styled-components — we adapt.
