§ 02In practice

Production work on this stack.

Lite n Easy. Nationwide e-commerce platform

Our Brisbane-based React skills have helped build and maintain the ReactJS and .NET applications for Australia’s largest meal delivery service. The ordering platform, customer portal, and internal operations tools. Thousands of daily transactions, tight integration with logistics and warehouse systems.

drtalk. Healthcare web platform

Next.js web application for a US healthcare platform, built by a blended team: Australian product leadership with senior Philippines-based developers. Server-side rendering for performance, real-time features via SignalR, and strict security requirements for patient data. Six years of continuous development with the same core team.

§ 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

Our React developers are senior engineers based in Brisbane and the Philippines, working AEST hours. Australian delivery leadership manages quality and architecture 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.

§ 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.

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 is based in the Philippines, working AEST hours from our office. 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?

The Philippines. Senior developers working AEST hours from our office, with Australian delivery leadership from Brisbane. You get direct access to your developers via Slack. No handlers, no middlemen. The Philippines has a strong pool of experienced React and Next.js developers, and our team has been delivering production React applications together for years.
