Developer tooling and workflow

Two sites can look identical on launch day and be worlds apart a year later. One has a tidy, documented codebase that any developer can extend. The other has become something nobody dares to touch. The difference is tooling and discipline.

We set up Vite or Webpack for builds, ESLint and Prettier for consistency, Husky and Conventional Commits for a readable history, Nx or Lerna when several apps share code, and Storybook for the component library. It costs a day at the start and saves months later.

The tooling we add is invisible to your customers and visible to every developer who touches the project after us. Linting and formatting run before every commit, so code reviews are about logic rather than style. Pull requests are checked by the same build and test steps that run in production, so what passes locally passes everywhere. For teams with several products we set up a monorepo with shared packages and a changelog generated from commit messages. All of it is standard, documented and replaceable, which is exactly what you want from tooling.
