FRONT-END
DEVELOPMENT
From full websites to the client-facing version of a program, we have developers who excel in the creative side of development and can make any vision come true. When we say Front-End, it means any visual representation of code, because even the back end of a website looks like strings of code and not pretty colors and shapes. Turning that code into something digestible by customers, users, and businesses is an incredibly critical part of the process.
Turning Script Into Art
Regardless of what device is being used to access your site or program, there’s a level of graphical computing involved. Operating systems like Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari all decode the script in their particular way, so by adding visual queues into the script, those systems can interpret it and represent the data that you want the way you want.
You’ve probably seen a website where a particular plugin or component of the site looks something like:
[code goes here][/cannot show properly]
The visual representation of this shortcode is a result of a misconfigured script, and while it may work properly, it’s not displaying correctly. All websites, all components of an app, anything that you can look at and not see the above code, that is the result of Front-end development.
Visual Languages
Our developers use the common building languages that majority of systems can interpret. These languages include but is not limited to:
HTML
CSS
DOM
JavaScript
You may have even heard of some of these languages, and that’s due in large part to the fact that almost every program you use daily was built using these languages. The page you’re reading right now would not be possible if a front-end developer did not rework script code to create this website, and therefore this page.
Mobile Applications
Our development services are not confined to the standard web browsers that most people use daily, because we are also able to turn any program into a visual piece to be viewed on phones, tablets, televisions, and even refrigerators.
Every one of these devices has their way of interpreting the information given to them, and it’s essential to have a system that can be read by anything.
Goals and Maintenance
The ultimate aim of front-end development is to provide accessibility that otherwise doesn’t exist. As you present your information to people, there are bound to be suggestions and requests you didn’t anticipate. We can continually maintain and refresh your visual elements to ensure that it’s always the best it can be. The way we digest information changes often, and as we continue to see new themes, we must be able to alter your program to meet those new styles. A site that hasn’t been updated since the original era of the internet stands out negatively against a more polished site, so having a plan in place for front-end development can mean the difference between being outdated and being eye-catching.
