Angular JS

An open-source, Google-built framework for single-page applications — with each part working independently but in coordination.

Angular JS is a JavaScript framework built by Google, providing structures for client-side MVC and MVVM development. It reduces the pain of manipulating the HTML DOM manually, marshaling data to and from the UI, and writing repetitive initialisation code.

Two-way data binding lets developers focus on building rather than wrangling code by hand. A built-in dependency injection system keeps apps simple to build and test, and directives let you create custom HTML tags for a clearer, more structured interface.

We've used Angular to build video streaming apps (in the vein of YouTube or Netflix), travel apps with review functionality, and user-generated content platforms — all benefiting from Angular's long-term performance.

Is Angular right for you?

A powerful framework, but not the right tool for every job.

Angular is a heavyweight, batteries-included framework. That is a strength for some projects and unnecessary weight for others, so here is an honest guide.

Angular is a strong fit when

  • You are building a large application with many screens, user roles and forms, such as a portal, dashboard or booking system.
  • Several developers will work on the code over years, and you want one consistent structure that keeps everyone aligned.
  • The app is data-heavy: tables, filters, charts and live updates.
  • You value strong typing with TypeScript, which catches many mistakes before your users do.

Think twice if

  • You need a small marketing site or blog. Plain HTML or WordPress will be faster to build and cheaper to run.
  • Search traffic is your main goal and the content is mostly public pages. A server-rendered approach usually serves SEO better.
  • Your team already knows React or Vue well. Switching has a real cost in time and mistakes.
  • You still run an old AngularJS (version 1) app. That needs a clear decision, explained below, not just a patch.
AngularJS vs Angular

AngularJS and Angular are not the same thing.

The names cause real confusion. AngularJS is version 1 of the framework, released in 2010. Its official long-term support ended on 31 December 2021, which means the Angular team no longer issues security fixes for it. Angular, with no JS in the name, is the complete rewrite that began with version 2. It is written in TypeScript, built around components, and released on a regular schedule with a published support window.

For a new project we build on current Angular. If you already have an AngularJS application that works, the right move depends on the app. Some can keep running behind careful hardening, some are best migrated screen by screen so the business never stops, and some are cheaper to rebuild. We begin with a short review of the code and give you a straight recommendation, not a default rewrite-everything quote.

Whichever path you choose, we agree the plan in writing first: what moves, in what order, what gets tested, and how your users keep working in the meantime.

How we work

From first conversation to a stable release.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Discover

    We map users, roles, data sources and the screens that matter most, and agree what version one must do.

  2. 2
    Step 2

    Architect

    We choose the module structure, state handling and API contracts so the app stays easy to extend.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    Build

    Short build cycles with working builds you can click through, not one big reveal at the end.

  4. 4
    Step 4

    Test

    Unit tests for logic, end-to-end checks of key journeys, and testing across browsers and devices.

  5. 5
    Step 5

    Launch and support

    Deployment, performance tuning and ongoing support as the application grows.

Common questions

What people ask before hiring an Angular team.

No. AngularJS (version 1) stopped receiving official updates at the end of 2021, so we recommend current Angular for anything new.

Usually yes. We review the code first and then recommend one of three paths: keep it running with hardening, migrate it gradually to modern Angular, or rebuild it. The best choice depends on its size, how well it is tested and how much your business relies on it.

Out of the box, Angular renders in the browser, which can make it harder for search engines to read. For pages that need to rank we add server-side rendering, or we keep public content pages separate from the application itself.

It depends on the number of screens, user roles and integrations. A focused internal tool can be ready within weeks, while a large portal takes several months. We give a phased plan with milestones before work starts.

Angular suits large, long-lived applications with many developers because it brings strong structure. React and Vue offer more freedom and a lighter start. We will tell you honestly which fits your team and product, even when the answer is not Angular.

Yes. We build the REST APIs and backend your Angular front end talks to, or connect it to services you already use.
