About Rivetous Studio

Productised frontend services for teams who need predictable delivery.

The Studio

Rivetous Studio builds productised frontend packages: fixed-scope deliverables with fixed timelines and fixed pricing. No open-ended contracts, no scope creep, no recurring meetings.

We deliver three core packages — Branded Component Kits, UI Platform Setups, and Frontend Builds — all built on a proven, opinionated tech stack. Every engagement ships in 10 working days with a 30-day warranty.

Why Productised?

Traditional contracting creates friction on both sides:

For customers:

  • Unclear timelines and unpredictable costs

  • Endless meetings and status updates

  • Risk of scope creep and budget overruns

  • No guarantees on quality or delivery

For contractors:

  • Context switching between different tech stacks

  • Rebuilding the same patterns for every client

  • Time wasted in meetings instead of building

  • Difficult to scale beyond one-to-one work

Productised services solve this. One opinionated stack. Fixed packages. Async delivery. Predictable outcomes. We build faster, customers get certainty.

The Stack

Transparency matters. Here's exactly what we use for every package:

Core

  • React 19 (baseline for all packages)

  • TypeScript 6 (strict mode enabled)

  • Vite 8 (build tooling)

  • Tailwind v4 (via @tailwindcss/vite)

Components

  • Ark UI (headless primitives)

  • CVA (variant styling)

  • clsx + tailwind-merge (class utilities)

Forms & Data

  • react-hook-form + Zod

  • TanStack Query (client-side caching)

  • MSW v2 + msw/data (mocking)

Testing

  • Vitest (unit + integration)

  • Playwright (end-to-end)

  • Biome (linting + formatting)

Multi-framework packages (Tier B) expand to include Vue and Svelte, but the tooling foundation remains consistent.

The Founder

Rivetous Studio was founded by Alex McNeill, a frontend engineer with 15+ years building production web applications. After years of traditional contracting — endless meetings, scope creep, and rebuilding the same patterns for every client — the productised model was the answer.

Every package we sell, we've built for ourselves first. The Branded Component Kit powers this marketing site and the Rivetous Showcase. The UI Platform Setup is the foundation for future products. We're customer zero.

The goal: predictable delivery, transparent pricing, and production-ready code. No surprises, no open-ended timelines.
