What is web development?
It is a concept that describes the entire process of creating a website or internet series. This process may include the process of analyzing the market and recipients. Based on this information, UX design is created, under which we create wireframes and prototypes to develop the best website construction and architecture.The next stage of web development is interface design and graphic design. The front-end of the website is created on the basis of projects, i.e. the coded interface of the website from the user’s side, i.e. the part of the page that we, as users, most often deal with. As the owner and administrator of the website, he must be aware of how the back-end of the website will be created. This part of the website contains an administrative panel and processes, functions running in the background and building the success of your company.
What technologies are used to create the front-end?
Main technology to create front-end is HTML to build website structure and second main technology is CSS to style this structure. JavaScript is used to achieve interactive elements on the website. Of course, there is a broadly understood basis for creating websites and their front-end. Of course, there is a broadly understood basis for creating websites and their front-end, which is why we use more advanced solutions to create faster and better quality website code. Our main tool is gulp.js which helps us optimize our work and effects of this work. Our main framework is Boostrap. To write styles we use SASS and SCSS. To develop interactive solutions we use pure javascript with babel, jquery and also Vue.js and Angular.
How long does it take to make a website?
We are able to create an original website based on Wordpress and our original graphic design in less than 1 month. However, the total time depends on the complexity of the work and the dynamics of cooperation.
What are the stages of website development?
The first basic step is to create a design specification in which we accurately describe the scope of work in a way that is understandable and clear to both parties. The second step is the UX project, where on wireframes we will develop a scheme of building individual subpages. Based on previously developed materials, we create UI design, which is a graphic design that shows how your website will look. After this stage of web development, we go to coding the website. We start from the front-end development and then, or in parallel, the back-end of your website is created. Finally, the content is entered and the website is launched in public.
What tools do you use to manage an website project?
The main and basic tool for project management and communication with the client is traditional e-mail. Another tool for communication is Skype or Google Hangout, although the final arrangements from such a conversation must be in writing. Then, during web development projects, we use tools such as the Kanban board on Trello. We also use Google Docs for various tasks. We store the code on servers and in git repository.
Do you implement any project management tools?
Our project execution is always in a timely fashion because we love to keep everyone in the loop, thanks to existing project management tools. We store our codes on Git hub and other servers just in case. We equally use Google Docs to share tasks for everyone who is part of the project.
Do you charge higher or lesser than private developers?
The cost of development is one thing that has always driven people away from patronizing website development experts. Cost is of great significance and should not be taken for granted at any time. We understand this, and ensure that we are not causing our clients any discomfort when we develop their Wordpress websites. Even though our services are more affordable when compared to what you get from private developers, you can take advantage of our various web design and development packages. On top of that, we assure you more value for your money as our team is a composition of experts in different fields of web design and development.
Can you build a content management system site that has access control?
Access control is necessary for regulating site access between different user groups. We don't only design and develop world-class websites for our clients, but we also make sure data access is restricted to whatever user groups you may have in mind. We use access control to define user privileges and other security parameters. For instance, the right to publish content can be reserved for a particular user, while others can add and edit content to the pages. All of these can be handled by a reputable content management system like Wordpress.
What is back-end development all about?
A web application revolves around two things: structure and functionality. Back-end developers are responsible for writing the codes that will determine how the website will function. Back-end development can be achieved through programming languages like PHP, Ruby, Java, or a host of other languages. These developers are also expected to enhance a website performance in terms of how fast and efficient the site can be. Not only that, as it is equally the job of the back-end developer to see that the website is linked to a database for storing data if need be.
Must someone know JavaScript to work with the front-end?
The bulk of what you do at the front-end of a website is web design and bringing the website's structure into being. That said, JavaScript is what creates that interactivity at the front of the web page. Things like animation can be handled with JavaScript. So if you do not have any knowledge about this technology, you would probably end up having a static and very boring site. You need to know JavaScript to enable your website to feel like it's alive to end-users.
Do you have specialists who deal on the front-end alone?
Yes. Our team is broken down into front-end and back-end experts. We don’t do jack of all trades in our company. Our front-end professionals have been experienced in that line of work for quite some number of years. They’ve grown to understand all the latest and most reliable ways to indulge HTML, CSS, and JavaScript technologies. Our front-end experts are not into back-end development, and vice versa. But they do communicate with each other to make sure the entire team is on the same page regarding any project.
Is it essential to create website backups from time to time?
Many hosting companies often tell you they can help you with backing up all the contents you have on your site. While some hosting companies may be true to their word, it’s equally important that you create backups of your site yourself. A lot of beginners think it is unnecessary to back up their sites; hence, they only bother about having their database backed up. Creating a backup of your website is just as important as having your database backed up.
What is the essence of Ajax in web development?
Ajax, which is also known as Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a resource that has become very necessary for today's website development. Everything that happens in a web application has to do with client-server interaction. With the usual front-end and back-end technologies excluding Ajax, every new information you see on a web page is made possible after page reload. There has to be refreshing of the entire page before the client can communicate with the server again. But Ajax has been able to modify that trend. Thanks to it, you can update certain aspects of your web page without reloading the whole page. This is very important because it prevents you from reloading the entire page, which could lead to loss of data on the existing web page.
Any chance of getting you to offer consultancy services?
Some business owners make the mistake of trying to do everything all by themselves. Of course, there can only be one result to that. It amounts to reduced productivity. We do not like to leave our clients short sighted in their business decisions. Our business analysts can help you with the best way to run your website, keeping it optimized always while you focus on other interesting ways to get your business ahead of your competitors.
Are your services bound by time zones?
We are not limited by time zones in anything we do. Our company is a composition of remote teams who collaborate from different parts of the world. We have chosen this technique because that is the best way to respond to our clients excellently. Our work schedule has been organized in such a way that there must be one of our employees close by to take your requests. They are ready to carry out site modifications and implement enhancement measures whenever a customer is in dire need of such services.
Do you outsource any part of your project?
We don’t have any need to outsource any aspect of a project. We’ve never done that, and do not have any intentions of doing so. Our team is made up of some of the brightest developers and designers. From website design to development to animations, we can boast of some of the best hands. In all honesty, getting our work outsourced for any reason will be a sign of our unpreparedness. We want to be as professional as we can in the eyes of our clients, so we do not subscribe to outsourcing, unless we are seriously obliged to do so.
Do you assist with website credibility?
It’s great that you are thinking of setting up a website for your business. It’s also good that you know the relevance of credibility to your site. Whether it’s a Wordpress site or any other type of site, it is good that your audience trust you and believe anything you tell them. Enhancing the credibility of your brand on your site is one of our trademarks. We have a considerable level of experience in this area and we cannot wait to show you what we are capable of.
Which technologies do you prefer for building front-end?
Front-end in website development is all about structure and styling. The most familiar technology for building front-ends is HTML, and that is what we use for doing our work. On the occasion of trying to make the website interactive, JavaScript will be brought into the picture. Although all the tools mentioned above are basic elements for achieving a great front-end, sometimes you need a little extra to make your Wordpress site come out fantastic. We have adopted gulp.js for adding more functionality to web pages. As for styling, we like to go with Bootstrap. To write our own styles we use SCSS and SASS. To get our application on the top of the interactive ladder, we go with tools like Angular, jQuery, Vue.js, and a host of others.
Can you build a website that will render perfectly on all devices, no matter what?
We understand the importance of a responsive website to businesses, which includes the small businesses. The responsiveness of any website depends on how it has been styled. With the high-level of our experience and expertise in styling, we can flesh out Wordpress sites that can open in any device without losing any component. So if we ever have an opportunity to design and develop your Wordpress website, you shouldn’t bother about how it will be accessed by your end-users. Website responsiveness, security features, site optimization, and many other stuffs are what you stand to gain when we build a website for your small business.
I hope to integrate a payment solution on my site, can you handle that as well?
The more functionalities you have on your website, the better it will be for everybody. We do
website designs for those that would love to have payment gateways as part of their sites.
That is something we are so used to that we've undertaken that task successfully in past
projects. You don't have to worry yourself about that; integrating payment solutions on your
website isn't a great deal for us.
Any need for RSS Feed on my site?
RSS Feeds are suitable for websites that are considered as content-heavy sites. In other
words, those are sites that need to be updated regularly. The RSS Feed is a feature that will
help keep your site visitors updated anytime there is new content on the website. Fortunately,
if you are working with a content management system like Wordpress, you can easily add it
to your site.
Should a web design process consider SEO before decisions are made?
For a Wordpress website to be superbly built, you have to take certain things into account
before you do anything. One of such factors is Search Engine Optimization. That has to be
factored into whatever you are doing because it will eventually have its fair share of impact
on the website design.
Do you use deprecated or non-standard codes?
The best way to know if a website is truly professional is by checking if the site had been
built with non-standard codes. Site breakdown can be the outcome of non-standard and
outdated codes. As professional web designers who are well-aware of how things change so
fast on the internet, we prefer to keep our codes brushed with the latest standards. That is the
only way we can make sure your website does not go offline, which will ultimately translate
to more customers' satisfaction.
Do you bungle your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript codes together?
A website's performance will be well below the optimal level when best practices are not
strictly adhered to when the coding is done. It would help a great deal if these codes were
separated, and that is what we do. This is very necessary because it will be easy for such sites
to be maintained if any modifications are needed. After our many years of experience, we
understand that it is better to separate your website codes into their various categories. So you
can do likewise if you don't want to have any problems with modifying your website later on.
All your codes need to be in an organized format. That way, you can easily maintain them.
