What is the difference between a UI developer and a frontend developer?

UI developers focus primarily on the visual and interactive layer — animations, layouts, and design fidelity — while frontend developers may also handle business logic and data fetching.

Do they collaborate with designers?

Absolutely. Our UI developers are experienced with design handoff tools like Figma and work closely with design teams.

Can they implement complex animations?

Yes. Our UI developers are skilled with CSS animations, Framer Motion, GSAP, and Lottie for rich motion design.
