Key Facts to Know About Web Development

Fundamental Types of Web Development

There are three main types of web development: front-end development, back-end development, and full-stack development. Broadly, here is a closer look at each type:

Front-end Development

Also known as client-side development, front-end development refers to creating 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 are JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. 

Back-end Development

Back-end development (server-side development) involves building the underlying infrastructure—the part of the website or app that the user can't see. 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 back-end languages include Python, PHP, Java, and C#. JavaScript is also applied to the back-end when used with Node.js.

Full-stack Development

Full-stack development combines both back-end and front-end development. Full-stack developers work on both sides of the website or application, using a combination of 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.

Specialized Types of Web Development

There are specialized aspects of web development in addition to front-end, back-end, and full-stack development. Examples include:

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.

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

Your tools and libraries must stay up to date to ensure that your website or web application also remains updated.

Test Non-Functional Requirements

We test elements like performance, security, scalability, and availability. We employ strategies such as Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD) so that quality assurance is central to the process. 

Security and Best Practices

Ensure Cross-Browser Compatibility

We test across multiple browsers to confirm that the web app looks and behaves consistently from browser to browser. 

Follow Web Standards

We adhere to W3C guidelines. These guidelines are a set of standards and practices from the World Wide Web Consortium designed to maintain consistency and accessibility across the internet. While they are not legally binding, they are widely adhered to by the web development community.

Write Clean Code

Maintain organized, clean code, and provide plenty of comments to retain a clear record of your development efforts. This will help with updates and changes in the future. 

Incorporate Security Measures

We implement strong security measures such as HTTPS and input validation.

Validate Data Inputs

Securing client and server-side inputs helps prevent malicious data from permeating your system, affirms data integrity, and improves the user experience.

Development and Maintenance

Use Version Control

Track changes with systems like version control systems like Git. This helps with collaboration and enables you to save previous versions of your work.

Test and Debug Regularly

Continuously check for issues through testing. Debug the website or web application as needed to maintain functionality.

Adapt and Learn

Stay updated with web trends by tapping into the web development community, participating in forums, attending events, and reading about the news and latest goings-on in the industry.

Apply SEO-Friendly Practices

We use proper meta tags and structure to better optimize your website for search engines like Google. 

Employ Frameworks

Choose the right libraries and frameworks based on project requirements, functionality and type, and the preferences of the web developers involved.
