What we do
Capability 01 of 10Built for day 90
Web, mobile, and product apps built for real usage, not just launch day. Performance budgets, accessibility and real-user monitoring are built in from the first sprint, so what is fast in the demo stays fast on a mid-range phone ninety days later.
Illustration: the same “Your platform” product page shown on a desktop browser, a tablet and a phone, each laid out for its screen. Field data at the 75th percentile is good on all three: desktop LCP 1.2 seconds, INP 60 milliseconds, CLS 0.01; tablet LCP 1.7 seconds, INP 110 milliseconds, CLS 0.02; phone on a mid-range Android over 4G LCP 1.9 seconds, INP 140 milliseconds, CLS 0.04. Values are illustrative.
01 · Lab vs fieldp75 LCP · mobile · 90 days after launch
A site can score 98 on a fast laptop and still be poor for the people who use it. Tags, video and scripts arrive one reasonable request at a time. We judge the work by field data at the 75th percentile, and budgets in CI stop the drift before customers feel it.
p75 LCPLargest Contentful Paint, seconds, per day
Line chart, illustrative. Over the 90 days after launch, an unmanaged site’s p75 LCP on mobile rises from 2.2 to 5.1 seconds, stepping up at each event listed below and ending in the poor band. A site with performance budgets in CI stays between 2.1 and 2.5 seconds, inside the good band.

Loads on first interaction
Field data
Core Web Vitals are assessed on real page loads: a page is good when at least 75% of visits are good. The Chrome UX Report publishes that field data over a rolling 28 days; our own real-user monitoring adds every template, device class and release.
Responsiveness
Interaction to Next Paint became a Core Web Vital on 12 March 2024. It measures the latency of interactions across the whole visit, not only the first, so heavy JavaScript that looked fine at launch now shows. Good is 200 ms or less.
Budgets
Lighthouse CI assertions and bundle-size limits run on every pull request. A new tag, video or script that breaks the budget cannot merge until it is deferred, compressed or removed, and real-user alerts watch p75 after each release.
02 · What we buildSix surfaces · one release train
Each starts from the same foundations: a design system in code, budgets in CI, accessibility checks and real-user monitoring from the first release. The surface changes; the standard does not.
01
Server-rendered or static sites on a headless CMS, with structured content, preview links for editors and edge caching that holds as pages multiply.
02
Customer portals, dashboards and SaaS products with typed APIs, role-based access and state that survives unreliable networks.
03
Native iOS and Android, or one codebase with Flutter or React Native, chosen on evidence: device APIs, offline needs and team skills.
04
Shopify or headless storefronts where search, product pages and checkout are tuned for the slowest phone in the market, not the fastest.
05
Installable web apps with service workers, background sync and a local queue, so field teams keep working when the signal drops.
06
Tokens and components shared by web and mobile, documented in Storybook and tested for accessibility on every change.

An illustrative model, not a measurement of any site. Thresholds are Google’s Core Web Vitals, judged at p75: good is LCP ≤ 2.5 s, INP ≤ 200 ms and CLS ≤ 0.1; poor is above 4 s, 500 ms and 0.25. Emissions use the Sustainable Web Design model’s v3 coefficients (0.81 kWh per GB, 442 gCO2e per kWh global average grid) for a first view with no caching.
