Fast, polished websites & web apps for startups.
I’m Remy Okada — an independent front-end developer. I design and build launched products in React & Next.js, obsess over performance, and hand you code you own.

How we work
Discovery → design → build → launch → support.
Discovery
A kickoff to understand the goal, the audience, the brand, and the metric that matters. We agree on scope and a performance budget up front.
A written scope, timeline & fixed quoteDesign
Design in Figma — or building faithfully from your designer’s work. We prototype the key interactions early so nothing surprises us in code.
Approved designs & interaction specsBuild
The part I love. Hand-built, typed, accessible front-end with motion, against the performance budget, shown to you in preview deploys as it grows.
A staging site you can click through weeklyLaunch
QA across devices, a final Core Web Vitals pass, SEO and analytics, then a careful go-live. No drama, no downtime.
A live, fast, measured siteSupport
A handoff walkthrough, documentation, and the code in your repo. Then optional care — a retainer or just being on call when you need me.
Clean handoff & ongoing support, your callIn their words
All reviews →Founders & teams I’ve shipped with.
Remy is the rare developer who cares about the design as much as the code. The site is fast, beautiful, and our team can actually run it. It made the raise feel inevitable.
We brought Remy in to fix our front-end and got a design system, a tested component library, and a team that ships faster. Worked like one of us from day one.
Our headless store loads instantly now. Same products, same traffic, noticeably more orders. The communication was as good as the work.
Off the clock
Open-source & the timeline.
