Long-Term Frontend Advisory
Ongoing strategic partnership
Ongoing access to senior frontend thinking without a full-time hire.
The Problem
Most teams lack ongoing senior frontend leadership. The cost shows up slowly, then all at once.
Senior frontend decisions fall to mid-level engineers
No one with the experience to evaluate architectural tradeoffs at scale
Technical debt accumulates between major initiatives
No ongoing oversight or prioritization of structural improvements
Third-party vendor evaluations lack depth
Teams make tool and framework choices without long-term perspective
Design system adoption stalls after launch
No governance, no accountability, no ongoing refinement
These problems compound over time. Addressing them requires consistent attention, not occasional heroics.
What's Included
A fractional frontend leadership role, structured for impact.
Monthly Architecture Reviews
Regular sessions to review recent work, upcoming plans, and structural concerns. I bring an outside perspective that is hard to maintain internally.
Decision Support
Async access for architectural questions, technology evaluations, and second opinions. Answers within 24-48 hours on business days.
Team Office Hours
Direct access for your engineers to ask questions, discuss approaches, and learn from real-world experience.
Quarterly Roadmap Input
Strategic input on your frontend roadmap. What to prioritize, what to defer, and what to stop doing.
What Changes Over Time
- + Architectural decisions made with long-term consequences in mind
- + Technical debt addressed proactively rather than reactively
- + Junior and mid-level engineers developing senior-level judgment
- + Consistent quality standards that do not require constant enforcement
- + Technology choices that serve the business, not just the developers
The value compounds. Early wins are tactical. Long-term value is strategic.
Who This Is For
Good fit
- + Growing teams (5-20 engineers) without a dedicated frontend architect
- + CTOs who want senior perspective without a full-time hire
- + Organizations preparing for scale but not ready for a full leadership role
- + Teams that have completed a consulting engagement and want ongoing support
Not the right fit
- - Teams that need hands-on implementation help (consider consulting instead)
- - Organizations looking for a quick fix to deep structural problems
- - Companies not willing to commit to ongoing improvement
- - Early-stage startups where the product is still finding its shape
Investment
Based on team size and depth of involvement
Minimum: 6-month minimum commitment
Includes: All deliverables, async support, and scheduled sessions
Compare this to a full-time senior frontend hire ($150k-250k/year plus benefits and management overhead). Advisory gives you senior perspective at a fraction of the cost.
