Website Development Experts: Crafting Custom Solutions for Every Need

Depending on the client’s needs, a web development company can either create a new website from scratch or make changes to an existing one. Developing a website from scratch can involve creating a new architecture or using ready-made templates, especially when it comes to e-commerce solutions.

So, to start development, we hold an initial meeting with the client, where we carefully listen to their needs and the purpose of creating the project. Clients at this stage are also different: some are prepared and have appropriate documentation, and some have only sketches and a project idea. If a client is inexperienced and does not have documentation, the company is obliged to write documentation for the client so that things move in the right direction. Writing documentation consists of several stages: Discovery Phase, developing a descriptive section, and writing a final summary. More about this in one of our previous articles.

During the first meeting, we develop a project charter, which clearly defines the project idea, the team of people who will be responsible for it, the deadlines for the work, etc. During the first meetings, a Project Plan is formed, which contains a full set of necessary tools, deadlines, a given budget and possible risks.

The next stage of work on the project is the creation of a prototype and design.  We turn to a designer who consults with the client regarding references and the selection of the desired color scheme and fonts. First, a designer creates the first mockup of the design, which does not necessarily contain all the details, but creates a general picture of what the client wants. After creation, the first mockup is shown to the client, and he provides feedback with the desired changes. Then the designer makes changes and the client approves them. Next, the general design of the site is created, which is also shown to the client for feedback. After final approval of the design, it is introduced into development and implemented into the web solution itself.

The web development process itself is carried out following Agile and Scrum methodologies. According to the documentation, the development itself takes place in sprints – weekly or two-week segments, during which developers must complete the assigned tasks. After the completion of each sprint, an analysis of the work performed is carried out: what was done, and what wasn’t. Uncompleted tasks in the first sprint are transferred to the next.

It is also worth noting that our company always works on the principle of working with three servers: local, staging, and production. On the first server, developers write and edit their own code. Then the developer uploads the finished code to staging for further implementation and testing. Next, a tester comes into work, who checks the program for all possible errors in the code and functionality. After the testing phase and full functionality verification, the finished product is uploaded to production, which is open to every user.

After the development is complete, we provide technical support and project updates, which we must carry out periodically.

What It Means to Be a Web Developer: Skills, Experience, and Duties

We select developers according to the qualifications and experience that are suitable for a particular project. For case development, we usually select a full-stack of developers who work on the frontend and backend.

When creating a project, a web developer takes on such responsibilities as writing code, checking its syntax, testing and refactoring. In addition, to ensure optimal and coordinated work, developers use the Docker Compose application, the essence of which is to unify the working environment. This application completely simulates the operation of an operating system such as Linux. And, thus, developers write their code in the same environment, which reproduces the same operating system. Developers also conduct additional testing before uploading their code to the staging server. After that, the project begins to be tested by QA testers.

In addition, every self-respecting developer always stores his code and its various versions in repositories such as GitHub and GitLab.

After final testing, developers upload the finished web project to a production server, with access to regular users.

Why Expertise in Web Development Matters for Your Business Success

When developing each web solution, a quality web development company, first of all, always listens to the client’s wishes and can provide quality advice on a particular problem. In addition, a web development company should strive for constant cooperation with the client at all stages of development: from the first meeting to the stage of technical support of the finished web solution. And, to ensure the best customer experience, we use the aforementioned Agile and Scrum methodologies, which both contribute to the flexible work of developers and allow us to make changes and wishes from the customer himself and implement them without disrupting the main workflow.

Using all these approaches, we have developed several web projects in such areas as telemedicine, education, fintech, e-commerce, etc. In particular, among the well-known projects we have worked on recently is the Tarka Health platform, where users can get advice from a qualified doctor from the USA. It is also worth mentioning the multi-tasking platform URCTRL, the feature of which is that the user is able to manage accounts in various social networks, as well as carry out trading operations within URCTRL itself.

Working with a web development company that understands its business is a guarantee of a quality result and a reliable partnership. Even before starting work, the client should have a clear understanding of the web development process from A to Z. And, thus, they will have approximate expectations of what usually happens during the development of each web project.

Thus, a number of companies rely on a flexible and individual approach to each client, taking into account all the specifics of the business and goals. By choosing the right web development company, you are guaranteed to receive a quality web solution that meets your business needs from a company that is ready to listen to you and values ​​partnership with the client.
