Web Development in San Francisco
San Francisco is where web standards get set. It is also where agency rates hit $300-$500/hr. We give SF companies the technical quality the Bay Area expects at 40-60% less cost. Our Dallas HQ runs 2 hours ahead of Pacific Time — your morning standup fits perfectly into our schedule.
Why SF Companies Choose an Outside Team
Here is the math. A senior React developer in San Francisco earns $190K-$240K base salary, plus equity, plus benefits. That is $300K+ fully loaded. Agencies pass those costs through at $300-$500/hr. Meanwhile, SF companies compete for that same talent against Google, Meta, and every well-funded startup in a 30-mile radius. Our model sidesteps this entirely. You get senior developers — 7+ years average experience — managed by a US-based team, at blended rates that reflect global engineering economics, not Bay Area real estate.
- SF senior developers cost $190K-$240K base — agencies charge accordingly
- 2-hour timezone offset (CT to PT) means full overlap during business hours
- Bay Area companies spend $4.1B annually on contract web development
- Our team averages 7+ years experience across React, Next.js, and Node.js
Web Development Services in San Francisco
SF clients expect technical excellence. Here is what we build for Bay Area companies.
React & Next.js Applications
San Francisco practically invented the modern React ecosystem. We build server-rendered Next.js apps, component libraries, and design systems with TypeScript that meet the code quality bar SF engineering teams expect.
E-Commerce & D2C Platforms
Shopify Plus, headless commerce with Hydrogen, and custom storefronts for Bay Area D2C brands. San Francisco is home to Allbirds, Ritual, and hundreds of digitally-native brands that need high-converting online stores.
SaaS Marketing Sites
Marketing websites for SF SaaS companies that need to convert developer signups, enterprise demos, and free trial activations. Built for speed, SEO, and the kind of design that signals product maturity.
Progressive Web Apps
PWAs with sub-second load times, offline capability, and cross-platform reach. For SF companies that want app-like user experiences without maintaining separate iOS and Android codebases.
Headless CMS & JAMstack
Sanity, Contentful, and Strapi powering Next.js, Gatsby, or Astro front-ends. The JAMstack approach SF teams prefer — fast deploys, CDN-first, and content teams that can publish without engineering tickets.
Performance & Growth Engineering
Core Web Vitals optimization, A/B testing frameworks, and conversion rate improvements. SF companies measure everything. We build the infrastructure to run experiments and the technical foundations to make sites fast.
Industries We Serve in San Francisco
The Bay Area has a unique industry mix. Here are the sectors where our web development makes the most impact.
SaaS & Developer Tools
Marketing sites, documentation portals, and developer-facing landing pages for SF SaaS companies. From seed-stage to post-IPO, these companies need web properties that explain complex products clearly and convert visitors into signups.
D2C & Consumer Brands
High-end e-commerce for Bay Area consumer brands. Product pages that tell a story, checkout flows that reduce friction, and mobile experiences that match the in-store feel. SF consumers expect premium digital experiences.
Fintech & Crypto
Web dashboards, portfolio trackers, and onboarding flows for SF's fintech ecosystem. Clean data visualization, real-time updates, and security-first architecture. We have built interfaces for companies handling $100M+ in transaction volume.
Biotech & Health Tech
Clinical trial portals, patient-facing web apps, and data management platforms for the South SF biotech corridor. HIPAA compliance, accessibility standards, and scientific accuracy are non-negotiable in this space.
How We Work with SF Teams
Two-hour timezone overlap, modern tooling, and engineering practices that match Bay Area standards.
Technical Discovery
Video-based discovery covering your product, audience, conversion goals, and technical constraints. SF companies often have opinionated tech stacks — we work within your ecosystem, not force ours.
Design & Prototyping
Figma designs with responsive breakpoints and interaction specifications. We match the design quality bar SF companies expect — clean typography, intentional white space, and interactions that feel polished, not decorative.
Sprint Development
Two-week sprints with deployed previews on Vercel or your staging environment. PRs with code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and the engineering workflow your team already uses. Our India team overlaps with your morning stand-ups.
QA & Performance Validation
Automated and manual testing. Lighthouse scores above 90. Cross-browser and device testing. Accessibility audits against WCAG 2.1 AA. We hold ourselves to the performance standards SF engineering teams set.
Ship & Iterate
Deployment to Vercel, AWS, or your infrastructure. Post-launch monitoring and iterative improvements. SF companies ship fast and learn fast — our engagement model supports that cadence.
