Svelte
Compiles the framework away, so interfaces ship less JavaScript and run faster.
What we build with it
- Interactive islands inside content sites
- Embedded widgets
- Data-heavy UIs where bundle size matters
- Internal tools
Why we use it
Svelte components are shorter than their React equivalents and compile to small, fast output. The mascot popping around our homepage is a Svelte island inside an Astro page.
When we don't use it
When a project needs React's ecosystem, a specific component library, or your team already knows React well, we don't fight that.
What we have written about Svelte
- Next.js vs SvelteKit: we built the same dashboard twice
Same SaaS dashboard in Next.js 16 and SvelteKit 2: SvelteKit shipped 33.8 KB of gzip JavaScript to Next's 131.6 KB. Build time, code, and method inside.
- Best SvelteKit agencies: who actually ships Svelte
7 Svelte agencies scored on how much of their real work is Svelte. Mainmatter and Okupter lead. Most of Clutch's top Svelte firms show none.
- Svelte 5 runes vs React hooks: we write both every week
A mental-model comparison of Svelte 5 runes and React hooks, based on two things we maintain: this site's Svelte island and FurnitureAxis's React 19 frontend.
Questions clients ask
Short answers, no sales language. If yours isn't here, ask an engineer directly.
Ask us anythingIs Svelte ready for production?
Yes. Svelte 5 is mature and plenty of large products run it in production. Its ecosystem is smaller than React's, which is the honest tradeoff.
Svelte or React for a new project?
React when ecosystem and hiring dominate the decision, Svelte when performance and simplicity do. We've shipped both and will tell you which fits your case.
