§ 03How we work

What we build with React

React is our primary frontend framework for web applications. We have been building production React applications since 2022, and most of our recent work uses Next.js with the App Router for server-side rendering, static generation, and API routes.

Our React work spans e-commerce platforms processing thousands of orders daily, healthcare dashboards managing sensitive patient data, and internal tools for enterprise operations.

Our React developers handle the full stack: state management, API integration, authentication, database queries, deployment pipelines, and performance optimisation. When you hire a React developer from Donnish, you get someone who can own a feature from database to deploy.

The blended model

The blended model

Our team blends onshore and offshore: senior React developers and QA on the Australian East Coast and in the Philippines, all working AEST hours, with Australian delivery leadership from Brisbane.

You get direct Slack access to your developers. No handlers, no account managers, no project coordinators in between. The person you talk to is the person writing the code.

This model gives you senior talent at $475/day instead of the $1,000-1,500/day you would pay an Australian contractor. Same timezone, same standups, same sprint cadence. The only difference is the cost.

Working with us

What "offshore" actually looks like with us

When people hear "offshore React" they think 12-hour timezone gaps, account managers, and a junior developer they never speak to. That's not this.

Our React team blends onshore and offshore: developers and QA on the Australian East Coast and in Manila. Manila is 2 hours behind Sydney, not 11. Standups are AEST. You talk to the developer writing the code, in your Slack, on your schedule. Australian delivery leadership runs the quality bar.

Where this model isn't right: if you need someone physically in your office every week. For everything else, drtalk has been built and run this way for six years.

§ 05Common questions

Questions buyers ask first.

What React frameworks do your developers work with?
React 18+, Next.js (App Router and Pages Router), Remix, and Vite. Most of our recent work is Next.js with server components, but we match the framework to the problem. If you have an existing codebase, we work with what you have.
Is this offshore development?
Yes and no. Our React team blends onshore developers and QA on the Australian East Coast with senior developers in the Philippines, all in Aussie hours, with Australian delivery leadership. So technically yes, offshore developers are part of the team. But it doesn't look or feel like the offshore stereotype: no handlers, no account managers, no 12-hour timezone gap. You get direct Slack access to the senior developer writing the code. The blended model gives you the cost benefits of offshore React development with the control and accountability of an Australian team.
Can your React developers work with our existing codebase?
Yes. Most engagements start with an existing codebase, not a greenfield project. Our developers are experienced at reading legacy code, understanding existing patterns, and making incremental improvements without rewriting everything.
What does $475/day actually get me?
A senior developer who works your hours (AEST overlap), joins your standups, uses your tools, and ships production code. No handlers, no middle managers. You talk directly to the person doing the work. That rate covers salary, benefits, hardware, office space, and our margin. Your developer works AEST hours, onshore or offshore depending on the role. Brisbane-based leadership manages quality and delivery.
How quickly can you start?
Typically 2-4 weeks from signed agreement to a developer joining your team. We maintain a bench of pre-vetted React developers so we are not starting recruitment from scratch. For urgent needs, we have placed developers within a week.
What if the developer is not the right fit?
We replace them. No penalty, no drama. We have done this a handful of times in six years and it has never been an issue. The first two weeks are effectively a trial period.
Where are your React developers based?
Both onshore and offshore. Senior React and Next.js developers and QA on the Australian East Coast and in the Philippines, all in Aussie hours, with Australian delivery leadership from Brisbane. You get direct Slack access to the developer writing the code. No handlers, no middlemen. Our team has been delivering production React applications together for years.
