Most calls are led by Allen Frantsen, a licensed Michigan CPA and software developer with experience building applications for Fortune 5 organizations, as well as in financial systems, analytics, reporting automation, and operational process improvement.

Our Process

We work with existing applications and internal tools that need to be cleaned up, extended, or better aligned with how the business actually operates. With React, the frontend is only as good as the data and structure behind it, so we start at the system level before writing UI code.

1. System Assessment

We review existing data structures, APIs, and workflows, with particular attention to underlying SQL schemas and how data is produced, transformed, and consumed. In parallel, we review business goals, reporting needs, and day-to-day usage to identify what’s working, what’s fragile, what is liked or disliked about the UI, and where complexity has accumulated over time.

This often includes legacy assumptions, spreadsheet-driven processes, or ad hoc endpoints that limit how cleanly a React application can scale.

2. Design Scalable Data Structures

Before building or refactoring the React frontend, we design or clean up the data layer to support both current and future needs. Because React applications consume structured JSON, this step is critical. Clear, predictable data models and APIs reduce frontend complexity and make systems easier to extend and maintain.

3. System Build

With a solid data foundation in place, we build or refactor the React application using a component-based architecture. Shared components, consistent patterns, and predictable state flows make it easier to add functionality without breaking existing features.

Work is delivered incrementally, validating functionality, data integrity, and performance as the application evolves. Where appropriate, state management tools such as Redux are used to centralize application state and simplify data flow through the system, particularly in larger internal tools and dashboards.

React JS Development Costs

React JS development costs depend on the condition of the existing application, the quality of the underlying data structures, and the system's centrality to daily operations. Smaller efforts, such as fixing UI issues, adding or refining individual components, improving state handling, or stabilizing an existing React application, typically start around $10,000, depending on scope and integrations.

More involved projects, including larger internal tools, dashboards, or frontend rebuilds tied to complex data models and workflows, generally range from $15,000 to $40,000+. These engagements focus on improving maintainability, aligning the frontend with real business processes, and ensuring the application can evolve cleanly as new functionality is added.

Modifying Existing Applications

Many React applications begin with a structure that no longer holds up as features are added. Over time, this often leads to inconsistent data models, excessive prop drilling, duplicated logic, and fragile state handling, making even small changes risky.

Before making code changes, we often start by mapping the application's underlying workflows and data movement. This process mapping service surface gaps between how the system should operate and how it actually behaves, clarifies ownership of data and state, and identifies where logic has drifted or been duplicated across components.

With that foundation in place, we work directly within existing React codebases to clean up component structure, normalize data flow, and reduce technical debt. This may include refactoring components, introducing clearer state management patterns (such as centralized state where appropriate), improving performance, extending functionality, and making the application understand, maintain, and evolve.

Operational Workflows

Many business processes rely on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, or interfaces that evolved without clear data structures or ownership. We build and modernize React interfaces for internal tools that support reporting, operations, inventory, and day-to-day workflows.

This work often involves replacing fragile screens and spreadsheet-driven processes with structured, component-based interfaces that are easier to use, extend, and maintain. Just as important, we help clarify and document the underlying business logic and data flows, so systems are no longer dependent on undocumented workarounds or a small group of people who understand how everything fits together.

Customer-Facing Applications

We build and improve customer-facing React applications where performance, usability, and consistency directly affect conversion and customer satisfaction. This includes portals, order forms, quote-to-cash workflows, and interactive interfaces that sit on top of existing systems and APIs.

Beyond the interface itself, we help ensure customer-facing applications are measurable and maintainable. This may include improving frontend performance, supporting SEO where applicable, and instrumenting key metrics such as conversion, usage patterns, and user behavior so that teams can make informed improvements over time.

In healthcare and regulated environments, customer-facing React applications often support patient portals, intake workflows, scheduling, billing, and payment systems where reliability and clarity directly affect access, revenue, and operational efficiency. We build and modernize these interfaces as part of our custom healthcare software development work, ensuring they integrate cleanly with backend systems, protect sensitive data, and support real-world clinical and financial workflows.

System Maintainability

Many React applications become difficult to maintain over time due to inefficient data structures, poorly organized components, duplicated business logic, and frontend code that has grown without a clear architecture. In these situations, stepping back and simplifying workflows, APIs, and component structure from the ground up often leads to significantly better long-term maintainability.

Our approach focuses on building React applications with clean component architecture, maintainable state patterns, and simplified backend structures. Well-designed SQL schemas, organized APIs, and properly formatted JSON responses make React applications significantly easier to develop, extend, and support over time. Cleaner React applications are typically easier to expand as the business grows, while also reducing maintenance costs and making systems easier for internal teams to support in the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions address common issues we see when teams work with React applications, particularly around maintainability, data structure, and state management.

What causes React applications to become challenging to maintain?

React applications usually become hard to extend when data structures, APIs, and state management are poorly defined. As features are added, this often leads to duplicated logic, excessive prop passing, and fragile components. Addressing these issues early by clarifying data flow and component boundaries makes ongoing development significantly easier.

What Is Redux for React?

Redux is a tool for managing shared data in a React application. It is most useful when multiple parts of an application rely on the same data from APIs or databases. Clean SQL data structures and well-defined server responses make this easier, since React applications consume structured JSON. When the data layer is designed correctly, Redux simplifies how that data is shared and updated across components, reducing fragile wiring and making applications easier to extend over time.
