We deliver a variety of custom web development projects, from enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to SaaS applications. We use a range of tools depending on the requirements, such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS for front-end development; Python, Ruby, and PHP for back-end development; and database technologies like MySQL.

eCommerce Development

Create user-friendly storefronts that provide enjoyable shopping experiences. Incorporate payment processing systems, customer service chatbots, checkout systems, and more.

Leveraging e-commerce platforms like Magento and Shopify, along with languages and tools such as JavaScript, Python, and Ruby on Rails, our web developers build appealing and intuitive online stores. We also focus on creating easy-to-navigate user interfaces and responsive designs to ensure your site is consistent across devices, including mobile platforms.

Front-End Design & Development

First impressions matter. Since the front end is the part of web development solutions that users can see and interact with, it must be intuitive and engaging. It should provide fast loading times and responsive layouts so users can find everything they need quickly and easily.

Our front-end developers and designers collaborate closely with back-end developers to create cohesive websites. We build responsive and accessible user interfaces and use languages and tools like JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, React, and Vue.

Back-End Web Development

Even though the back end of a website is hidden from view, it is central to the web development process. This is the powerhouse of web development—the infrastructure of web solutions. It focuses on the logic, functionality, and database interactions. 

Using programming languages like Python, PHP, Java, and Ruby and frameworks such as Express.js, Django, and Ruby on Rails, we write the code that runs on the server and devise the logic for a variety of processes. These processes include user authentication, data processing, application functionality, and more. We also focus on database management, server management, and API development.

Content Management System (CMS) Development

Simplify content management. With a robust CMS, you can create, store, and publish digital content without extensive technical knowledge. You can also visualize performance and user interactions to inform your business strategy.

We build custom content management systems using a variety of technologies like Visual Studio Code, PHPStorm, phpMyAdmin, and Postman. We also customize and enhance the functionality of existing platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal with plugins such as Yoast SEO, Views, and VirtueMart. 

API Development and Integration

When you access location-based services, make purchases on e-commerce websites, or book flights online, that's all thanks to APIs. Application Programming Interfaces are central to many of the services we use every day, sharing and communicating data seamlessly among apps.

We develop and integrate a variety of APIs into your web applications using frameworks such as Express, Django, Ruby on Rails, and ASP.NET Web API. We also rigorously test your APIs with tools like Postman, Insomnia, and SoapUI.

Key Facts to Know About Web Development

Web development can be broadly categorized into three main types: front-end development, back-end development, and full-stack development. Each type plays a crucial role in creating and maintaining websites and web applications. Here is a closer look at each type:

Front-end Development

Also known as client-side development, front-end development refers to the creation of the part of the website or web app that the user can see and interact with inside their browser. Developers build user interfaces, optimize UX, and ensure a responsive and easy-to-navigate design. The main languages used in front-end web development are JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. 

Back-end Development

Back-end development (also called server-side development) involves building the underlying infrastructure—the part of the website or app that the user can't see or manipulate. This infrastructure consists of the server, application logic, and databases. Front-end and back-end developers collaborate closely so that both aspects of the application function together seamlessly. Key programming languages for building the back end include Python, PHP, Java, and C#. JavaScript is also applied to the back end when it is used with Node.js.

Full-stack Development

Full-stack development combines both back-end and front-end development. Considered jacks of all trades, full-stack developers work on both sides of a website or application, using a combination of front-end and back-end languages and technologies. Developers who specialize in full-stack development can handle the entire project from start to finish, leveraging their knowledge of both the visible design and underlying components of the app. This versatility allows them to create cohesive and efficient web solutions, bridging the gap between user experience and server functionality.

Specialized Types of Web Development

There are also specialized aspects of web development in addition to front-end, back-end, and full-stack development. Here, we will take a closer look at the different specializations: UX/UI design, DevOps, mobile web development, e-commerce development, CMS development, and web API development.

UX/UI Design

User experience/user interface design isn't precisely an area of development, but it is integral to the functionality of a website or web app. In addition to aesthetics, UX/UI design concerns the overall look and feel of the web app. Using tools like Adobe XD, Figma, InVision, Sketch, and Illustrator, designers conduct research, perform wireframing and prototyping, gather feedback via usability testing, and map user journeys. UI design in particular involves creating an accessible, responsive visual design, graphics, design systems, and styles.

While UX and UI design have several overlapping functions, they are not identical. UX design concerns the entire user journey, while UI design focuses specifically on the visual appeal of the design. In other words, UX lays the groundwork for successful UI. On some teams, these roles are combined into one position, while on others, they are separate but collaborate closely to deliver an exceptional user experience.

DevOps

DevOps, bringing together development and operations, focuses on the tools and processes involved in building, scaling, and deploying web applications. DevOps engineers leverage principles of collaboration and efficiency to deliver high-quality apps quickly. 

DevOps engineers should have knowledge of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, automation tools, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and cloud platforms. They use this knowledge to shorten development cycles, improve collaboration, and deliver higher-quality web applications.

Mobile Web Development

Mobile web development refers to the development of web applications and websites that are optimized for mobile platforms, including smartphones and tablets. Given today's mobile-first landscape, it has become increasingly important to ensure that web applications are responsive and consistent on mobile devices, along with other platforms like desktop. 

When developing web apps for mobile devices, it's important to focus on touchscreen interactivity, accessibility, user-centric design, and performance, along with responsiveness. Developers leverage mobile-specific frameworks like React Native and Flutter to achieve these and other qualities.

E-commerce Development

This subset of web development involves creating online stores and platforms. The process of building and managing these stores requires specialized developers and designers who understand the online retail landscape, digital marketing, and web development. E-commerce platforms should be aesthetically pleasing, as well as navigable, scalable, and user-friendly. 

CMS Development

Content management systems (CMS) are the backbone of many organizations' digital presence. CMS development involves building and managing a platform for housing, editing, and publishing different types of content. After the development process, organizations will have systems in place that they can use without the help of a technical expert. 

Common CMS platforms include WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla. They can be customized by web developers to produce websites and other digital content. 

Web API Development

APIs play an important role in web development. They essentially act as intermediaries between different web apps, enabling them to communicate with each other. Web API development involves building these important protocols to facilitate this data exchange. Developers rely on tools like RESt, GraphQL, and OAuth to build them.

Web developers also leverage third-party APIs to extend the functionality of applications and integrate the software with external services

Best Practices for Web Development

Design and User Experience

Design with Responsiveness in Mind

Ensure your layout adapts to different screen sizes, orientations, and resolutions across a variety of devices. 

Prioritize Accessibility

Make your app or website accessible to people with different abilities. We follow Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), use semantic HTML, and more.

Implement User-Centric Design

We focus on crafting an intuitive user experience. That's not only the UX/UI designer's responsibility—it extends to the developers, too. We prioritize usability and make data-driven decisions.

Performance and Optimization

Optimize Performance

We minimize HTTP requests and optimize images. We also implement lazy and asynchronous loading to enhance loading times.

Utilize Progressive Enhancement

Progressive enhancement refers to starting out with a universally accessible and functional base, then enhancing it with more complex features. This helps ensure that the content can be accessed by the largest number of people. 

Regularly Update Dependencies
