Web / 5 technologies

Web interfaces people use every day.

Most of what we build has a web front end. Sometimes it is a marketing site that has to rank; sometimes it is a dashboard someone keeps open all day. Those jobs need different tools, so we pick per product and keep TypeScript throughout, which keeps the code readable for whoever works on it next.

What we use

Web technologies we know well.

Why us

What we bring to web work.

  • React in our own products

    The SoulCare care dashboard is a React web app we build and run, so we work with React in production, not only in demos.

  • TypeScript in a shipped product

    SimRhythm is written in TypeScript, so the shape of every value is checked before the app reaches a device or browser.

  • This site is the proof

    cirlume.co.uk is built with Astro and Tailwind CSS v4. You are looking at the result.

What you get

What a well-chosen stack gives you.

  • Pages that load quickly

    Rendering on the server or at build time where it helps, so people see content before scripts finish.

  • One language end to end

    TypeScript in the browser and on the server, with types shared between them.

  • Components you reuse

    A shared set of interface parts, so new screens look and behave like the old ones.

  • Pages search engines can read

    Server-rendered HTML for anything that needs to rank, not an empty shell filled in by JavaScript.

Where AI fits

AI in web work.

  • Answers inside your app

    Add a search or question box that answers from your own documents, streams the reply into the page and shows its sources.

    Knowledge assistants ↗

  • Review screens for AI output

    Interfaces where staff check, correct or reject what a model drafted before it is saved.

    AI workflow automation ↗

Where it stops: The browser should never hold model keys or decide what a user may see. That stays on the server.

Choosing between them

Which one, and when.

Astro for sites people mostly read. Next.js when public pages and signed-in features share one product. A React single-page app for tools that live behind a login. TypeScript in every case, and Tailwind when a design system needs to stay consistent.

What’s changing

Shifts to plan for.

Dates that affect web technologies, checked against the official sources.

  1. July 2026

    TypeScript 7 ships

    The compiler is now a native Go program, with full builds typically 8 to 12 times faster. Tools that used the old compiler API need checking before upgrading.

  2. January 2026

    Astro team joins Cloudflare

    Cloudflare took on the Astro team. The framework stays MIT-licensed and can still be deployed to other hosts.

  3. October 2025

    Next.js 16 released

    Caching became opt-in through Cache Components, Turbopack became the default bundler, and synchronous access to route params was removed, which affects upgrades.

Common questions

Web questions.

Do you build with WordPress?

Not as a rule. We use headless CMSs such as Sanity, Contentful and Storyblok, which give editors a familiar interface while the site itself stays fast.

Can you take over an existing React codebase?

Yes. We start by reviewing dependencies, build tooling and test coverage, then agree with you what to fix first.
