Web development company, Seattle.
A senior Next.js + Shopify engineering team for Seattle B2B SaaS, climate-tech, healthcare, and outdoor brands. AWS-fluent, HIPAA-aware, Pacific Time. Same-PT response Mon-Fri 9-6.
§ 01 · seattle engineering context
AWS-fluent. Cleared by Microsoft + Amazon.
Seattle web development sits in a rare market: clients have seen senior engineering up close because they work next to it every day. AWS, Azure, the Office team, the Visual Studio team, and the long tail of senior cloud talent shape the local engineering taste. Reviews are rigorous, architecture decisions are interrogated, infrastructure choices have to be defended. Our Seattle engineering work runs Next.js on Vercel by default and AWS when the client's infrastructure already lives there. Shopify + Hydrogen for ecommerce. Postgres on Supabase, Neon, or AWS RDS for SaaS backends. The bar is Microsoft-meets-Amazon; the engineering posture has to match.
§ 02 · typical seattle stacks
Four common shapes. One engineering bar.
Climate-tech + healthcare
Marketing front-end on Next.js with HIPAA-aware backend integration via Aptible or AWS HealthLake. Compliance posture documented; PHI never lands on the marketing tier.
DTC outdoor + lifestyle
Shopify Plus with custom theme work, or Hydrogen + Oxygen when feature requirements exceed Liquid. Klaviyo for email, Gorgias for support, Recharge for subscription where it earns its margin.
AWS-native enterprise
Next.js deployed to AWS Amplify, ECS, or App Runner instead of Vercel. CloudFront + S3 + Lambda@Edge for static assets. CloudWatch + DataDog for observability. Secrets in AWS Secrets Manager.

§ 04 · questions
Five answers.
What stack does Seattle web dev work usually run on?
Seattle's tech-forward audience pushes us toward modern stacks more often than other US markets. Default for marketing sites: Next.js on Vercel with Sanity, Contentful, or Storyblok for content, Tailwind for styling, Vercel Analytics for measurement. For ecommerce: Shopify Plus with Liquid for theme-tier brands, Hydrogen on Oxygen or Vercel for headless. For B2B SaaS: Next.js plus a Postgres backend on Supabase, Neon, or AWS RDS depending on enterprise requirements. Microsoft and Amazon ecosystem clients sometimes require Azure or AWS specifically; we run both.
Do you do HIPAA-aware healthcare web dev in Seattle?
Yes, with a specific scope. Seattle has UW Medicine, Seattle Children's, Fred Hutch, and a strong digital health startup cluster, so HIPAA-aware web development comes up often. We handle marketing sites and patient-facing front-ends that route PHI to a HIPAA-compliant backend (Aptible, Datica, AWS HealthLake, or a client-managed BAA-covered AWS environment). We do not host PHI directly without a Business Associate Agreement and a documented compliance posture. The decision tree gets walked at discovery; if the project requires us to be a covered Business Associate, we scope the BAA cost and timeline before signing.
How does AWS-heavy Seattle work change your engagement?
Seattle clients often prefer AWS over Vercel because their internal infrastructure is already there. We deploy to AWS via Amplify, ECS, App Runner, or CloudFront + S3 + Lambda@Edge depending on scale. Most front-ends are still Next.js — we just deploy the SSR layer to Lambda or ECS instead of Vercel. CDN is CloudFront with regional edge caches. Logging into CloudWatch, monitoring through DataDog or New Relic, secrets via AWS Secrets Manager. The architectural defaults shift; the engineering quality bar does not.
What about Core Web Vitals on Seattle marketing sites?
Same standards as everywhere: LCP under 2.5s, CLS under 0.1, INP under 200ms at the 75th percentile of field data via CrUX. We hit those by serving the hero image as AVIF at fetchpriority='high', avoiding render-blocking JavaScript, deferring non-critical scripts, and shipping a responsive srcset for every image. Third-party analytics (GA4, Vercel Analytics, PostHog, FullStory) get loaded with strategy='lazyOnload' or after main thread interaction. Launch-day Lighthouse scores green on mobile and desktop, monitored via Vercel Speed Insights or Real User Monitoring through DataDog.
Can you work alongside our internal Seattle engineering team?
Yes — this is a common Seattle pattern. Many Seattle DTC and SaaS brands have senior in-house engineers who do not want to take on the front-end project but want to review architecture, code, and infrastructure choices. We integrate via shared GitHub or GitLab repo, code review on every PR, weekly engineering sync on Pacific Time, and full architectural documentation (ADRs) as we go. Internal engineers retain full ownership and operational handoff at the end of the engagement.
