Hire Angular developers

Most Angular work is not greenfield. It is an application that has been earning money for years, written by people who have moved on, on a version that is increasingly hard to hire for — and the question is what to maintain, what to migrate, and in what order.

Maintenance is the real job

An established Angular application usually has more business logic encoded in it than anyone has written down. The risk in touching it is not technical difficulty; it is that behaviour nobody documented turns out to matter to somebody.

We start by reading, and by being explicit about what we do not yet understand. A migration plan written before that reading is a guess with a schedule attached.

Migrating without stopping the product

Where a move off AngularJS is warranted, a staged migration beats a rewrite: the two frameworks coexist, routes move across one at a time, and the product keeps shipping throughout. It is slower on paper and considerably faster in practice, because a full rewrite competes with the roadmap for as long as it runs.

We have done this — ActivityHub moved from AngularJS to React while remaining in service, which is the constraint that makes the work interesting.

Suited to
  • Companies running an Angular or AngularJS application in production

  • Teams struggling to hire for an older Angular version

  • Products that need migrating without a feature freeze

Not the right fit
  • New builds, where we would recommend React or Next.js and explain why

  • Applications where a rewrite is genuinely cheaper — sometimes it is, and we would rather say so

What drives cost

We do not publish rates, because scope decides them

A figure quoted before scope is understood is not a commitment either side can rely on. These are the things that actually move it.

Codebase size and age

How much behaviour is undocumented, which sets how much reading precedes any change.

Test coverage

Existing tests make change safe. Their absence is usually the first thing to fix.

Migration scope

Whether the goal is maintenance, partial migration, or a full move.

Uptime constraints

Migrating a live application costs more than one that can pause.

Working together

NDA first, contract on frozen scope

We sign a mutual NDA before the first detailed conversation, not after — you should be able to describe what you are building without qualifying it.

The contract follows requirement freeze rather than preceding it. Once scope is agreed and written down, it is what the agreement is drawn against, which is what makes a fixed commitment meaningful in the first place.

Questions

What buyers usually ask

Something not covered here?

Ask directly — we would rather answer a specific question than publish a general one.

Contact us
  • 01

    Do you still work with AngularJS?

    Yes. Several applications in our portfolio were built on it, and it still runs real businesses.
  • 02

    Should we migrate off Angular?

    Only with a reason beyond age — hiring difficulty, a blocked roadmap, or a security position that is no longer tenable. Working software is not a problem by itself.
  • 03

    Can you migrate without a feature freeze?

    Yes, and it is usually the right approach. Routes move across incrementally while the product keeps shipping.
  • 04

    What do you migrate to?

    React or Next.js most often. We have done that exact move on a live product.
  • 05

    Can you take over from a previous team?

    Yes. That begins with reading the codebase and an honest assessment, including what should be left alone.
