Why We Shouldn’t Give Up on Europe
It might sound strange coming from someone who left Europe for Asia When I tell people I am going to defend Europe, they usually raise an eyebrow. I live in Bangkok, I run a software agency in Thailand and I am surrounded by markets that move at full speed. On paper, I should be the last person promoting Europe as a place full of opportunities. And yet, the more I work with European companies, the more convinced I am that Europe is misunderstood rather than behind.
Beyond Vercel and Netlify: finding smarter frontend hosting alternatives
Not so long ago, deploying a website was a messy business. You rented a VPS, installed Nginx, configured SSL certificates, worried about ports and permissions, and hoped you didn’t bring the server down while deploying a new version. Then came Netlify and Vercel. Suddenly, you could connect your GitHub repo, push your code, and your website went live. For frontend developers, that was magic.
Every great project starts with the right tools
At We Do Dev Work, we’ve learned that successful projects don’t really begin with code or design. They begin with people, conversations, shared goals, and a clear picture of what we’re building together.
SEO for developers
Where marketing and code finally meet If you’ve ever built a website and heard someone say, “We’ll handle the SEO later,” you already know how that ends. Later never really comes. SEO isn’t a last-minute checklist after launch. It starts in your code, in how your pages are structured, and in how your data is served to both humans and search engines.
Why UX/UI Design Should Be Part Of A Business Strategy
“Hey, can you give this to your UX/UI team? So they make it look good.” We hear that a lot. And yes, we do make things look good, but that’s just the surface. Because UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) are not about decorating screens. They’re about designing journeys.
CEO insight: The state of e-commerce after the pandemic spike
E-commerce is simply the buying and selling of goods or services over the internet. That can be anything from ordering a pair of sneakers on Zalando, paying for a Spotify subscription, or buying digital Labubu cards at 2 AM, all because you “just wanted to check the price.” If money changes hands and it happens online, it’s e-commerce.

What to look for when choosing an outsourcing partner

Webdev never svelte so good
Why we started using a “niche” frontend language in production. React rules the web development landscape for almost 10 years. At We Do Dev Work, we’ve done plenty of projects in React as well as NextJS, which added server-side before React did themselves. React is great for single page applications (SPA’s)!

Just don't write bugs, bro
Every Software Engineer, Project Manager and QA has been there: a tight deadline is coming up and there are still issues with the software. A page doesn’t load, an API always throws an error or a user can read messages that are not supposed to meet their eyes. These issues are called “bugs”, named after a small bug that crawls into a computer, touches the motherboards and thereby fries itself along with the pc. Nobody intentionally writes bugs.
