About Web Development
Sages
Analysis, design, programming, testing & review, deployment, and maintenance are the primary stages of web development. In order to develop a custom website that fits your needs and the needs of your customers, it’s essential for you to work a developer that will take the time to understand your business goals and how your new website will support them.
Types
The main types of web development are front-end, back-end and custom full-stack development. Front-end development is focused on user experience and user interface. It is the interface for end users to learn about and engage with your business. Back-end development is the “behind the scene” content that may include databases, ecommerce and content management solutions. Full-stack development is custom programing that affects both front-end and back-end functionality. This could include things like API development to get the website to send data to your in-house CRM.
CMS Framework
Content management system framework solutions like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, provide a framework for building and maintaining your website. The selection of a CMS is important because each one comes with benefits and downsides. A good web developer will help you analyze your project goals and recommend a CMS that will help support those goals before design and construction begin.
