How we build modern websites at Template - ByNoon
Devin · 2026-02-22
A look behind the curtain at the tools, the process, and the principles that shape every site that leaves our studio.
Every studio has its own way of working. Ours is built around three things: a small toolbox, a tight feedback loop, and a refusal to ship code we wouldn't be happy to read again next year.
The toolbox
We use Next.js for the frontend, Tailwind for styling, and Supabase for everything that touches data — auth, storage, and the database.
Three tools, used well, beat ten tools used badly.
The process
Every project moves through four phases:
- Discovery — what does success look like in six months?
- Sketches — paper before pixels.
- Clickable prototype — the client navigates the site before it's built.
- Code — the prototype becomes the spec.
Each phase has a clear hand-off and a clear definition of done. The client sees something tangible at every step.
The principles
Performance is a feature. Accessibility is a baseline. Readable code is a habit.
We don't ship anything that doesn't pass all three. The hundred projects we've shipped taught us that any shortcut on these three becomes someone's late-night problem.
