About
Frontend Dev Tees
Frontend gets treated as the easy half by people who have never fought a z-index stack or shipped against three browsers and a design system that updated mid-sprint. These designs disagree.

Every design is printed on ringspun 240gsm cotton and preshrunk, so your size on Monday is still your size after a Friday wash. We print what we would wear to standup ourselves. If a joke does not land with someone who actually does the job, it does not make the collection.
These also make a straightforward gift. You do not need to know their exact stack to land a joke that works. Pick the design, choose the size once, and you are done.

Asked
Questions
- What are frontend developer shirts?
- Frontend developer shirts are t-shirts printed with humor about building user interfaces: CSS quirks, browser differences, framework churn, and late-breaking design changes.
- How are these different from backend dev tees?
- Frontend designs lean toward CSS, components, and browsers. Backend designs lean toward databases, APIs, and what happens on the server.
- Do these make a good gift?
- Yes. Anyone who has spent an afternoon on a layout bug recognizes these regardless of which framework they use.
- What fabric are these printed on?
- Most tees use ringspun 240gsm cotton, preshrunk so the fit stays consistent after washing. Sweatshirts use a heavier midweight blend. Prints are made to survive repeated washes without cracking or fading quickly.
- How much is shipping?
- Shipping is free on orders of three or more shirts. Smaller orders ship at a flat rate. Most orders are printed and dispatched within a few business days, then delivered by your local carrier.
