React layout development

We were approached by a company from Israel that needed to implement a modern corporate website based on a ready-made design layout. As part of the project, our team was solely responsible for frontend development, completely transferring the design to a working React application.

The main feature of the project was the localization for Hebrew, a language with a right—to-left writing direction (RTL), which differs significantly from the usual development of interfaces for European languages.

It was necessary to perform adaptive React layout of the site based on ready-made layouts, while maintaining high accuracy of design implementation and ensuring correct operation of the interface in Hebrew.

Special attention had to be paid to the display of all interface elements, taking into account RTL logic.

• React-layout based on a ready-made design layout;
• fully responsive interface;
• right-to-left language support (RTL);
• correct location of all blocks, menus, and controls;
• adaptation of typography and indentation to the peculiarities of Hebrew;
• cross-browser compatibility;
• optimization of frontend performance.

Despite the relatively small amount of work, the project turned out to be non-standard.

Designing an interface for Hebrew requires a completely different approach to page construction. Almost every element needs to be checked for correct display when sending a letter from right to left.

The additional complexity was created by the fact that all the working documentation, texts and interface were in a language that the team did not know. During development, we had to focus on the visual arrangement of elements, the features of RTL markup, and constant alignment with layouts.

RTL support has become the main technical challenge of the project.

React was chosen for the project due to its advantages:

• high-speed interface operation;
• component architecture;
• convenience of further project development;
• Ease of support and scaling;
• the ability to reuse components.

• React
• JavaScript
• HTML5
• CSS3
• RTL Layout
• Responsive Design

As a result, the customer received a fully modern interface that matches the design layouts and is adapted to the specifics of the Israeli market.

Special attention was paid to the correct operation of the website in the language with the direction of writing from right to left, so that the interface looks natural for native speakers and fully meets the requirements of the local market.
