Why We Build Every Project with React and TypeScript
React and TypeScript aren't just buzzwords — they're the foundation of reliable, maintainable, and scalable web applications.
Every website and web application we build at Pixaloom uses React and TypeScript. Here's why these technologies matter — not just for developers, but for business owners.
React: The UI library powering the modern web
React was created by Facebook (now Meta) and is used by companies like Netflix, Airbnb, Instagram, and WhatsApp Web. It's the most popular front-end library in the world.
What it means for your business: - Component-based — Your site is built from reusable building blocks, making updates faster and cheaper - Fast rendering — React only updates what changes, keeping your site snappy - Huge ecosystem — Thousands of battle-tested libraries for any feature you need - Talent pool — React developers are plentiful, so you're never locked in to one agency
TypeScript: JavaScript with superpowers
TypeScript adds type safety to JavaScript. Think of it as spell-check for code — it catches errors before they reach your users.
What it means for your business: - Fewer bugs — TypeScript catches errors at build time, not in production - Better maintainability — Code is self-documenting and easier to update - Confidence in changes — When we update your site, TypeScript ensures nothing breaks - Long-term cost savings — Less debugging = lower maintenance costs
The combination:
React + TypeScript together provide: - Reliable, production-grade applications - Fast development cycles - Code that's easy to hand off or maintain - Modern user experiences that feel like native apps
Why this matters to you:
You might not care about the technology stack (and that's fine). But you should care about: - Will my site work reliably? - Can it be updated easily? - Is it fast? - Am I locked into one developer?
With React and TypeScript, the answer to all four is yes.
