We build React and Next.js products that feel fast, consistent, and maintainable—whether it’s a customer portal, a dense internal tool, or the public face of your SaaS platform.
ColibriCode is based in Denver, USA. We plug into teams that already run serious backends in Drupal, Symfony, Laravel, Python, or Go and need a frontend layer that matches that level of care.

WHY NEXT.JS & REACT
Next.js and React give us a flexible way to build the parts of your product people touch: customer areas, admin dashboards, partner tools, and everything in between—while playing nicely with your backend of choice.
FOR PRODUCT TEAMS
Component-based UIs make it easier to ship, learn, and refine without rewriting entire screens each sprint.
FOR ENGINEERING
Whether your core is in Drupal, Symfony, Laravel, Python, or Go, we make the frontend a good HTTP citizen—no hidden coupling.
FOR OPERATIONS
We design UIs that degrade gracefully, log helpful signals, and behave well under unusual conditions.
HOW WE BUILD
We build React apps that are easy to reason about, test, and extend—not a tangle of components and global state.
We focus on perceived performance: smart loading, pagination, and responsiveness for real-world usage.
We turn your brand and UX rules into a living design system in React.
We use modern Next.js capabilities with an eye on maintainability and performance.
COMMON PATTERNS
We don’t treat your React app as a monolith. We think in terms of surfaces: who uses them, how often, and what they need from the backend and surrounding systems.
Internal tools with complex tables, filters, and workflows that your support, operations, and sales teams live in every day.
Multi-tenant interfaces for account management, reporting, and collaboration on top of your existing backend stack.
Extracting, codifying, and rolling out a component library across multiple apps and teams.
Interactive charts, drill-downs, and data exploration interfaces powered by PHP/Python/Go APIs.
FRONTEND + BACKEND
We use Next.js and React as a clean interface layer over your APIs, not a second backend in disguise. Each language in your stack does what it’s best at.

FAQ
How do you choose between SSR, SSG, and client-side rendering?
We start from your use case: SEO needs, data freshness, personalization, and infrastructure. Marketing pages and some public docs lean on SSG/ISR. Authenticated dashboards often mix SSR (for initial shell + critical data) with client-side updates. We avoid clever setups that your team can’t maintain.
Can you work with our existing design team or designer?
Yes. We often translate Figma, Sketch, or design tokens into a React component library, then refine it as real-world edge cases show up. We keep designers involved so the system reflects how they think about the product.
How do React apps integrate with our Symfony/Laravel, Python, or Go backends?
We put effort into clean contracts. That means clear API shapes, typed clients, error handling conventions, and auth flows that match your backend stack. The goal is that frontends can evolve without breaking everything downstream—and vice versa.
Can you improve an existing Next.js/React codebase instead of starting from scratch?
Absolutely. We often start by mapping the current architecture, identifying hotspots, and introducing structure step by step. We aim for refactors that are safe, incremental, and tied to real product goals.
TALK ABOUT YOUR FRONTEND
Share the kind of surfaces you’re building—dashboards, portals, public sites—and the backends they talk to. We’ll respond with how we’d structure the frontend and where we see the biggest wins.
A short description of your current frontend, the backend stack, and your biggest UX or performance pain points is enough to start.
