  5. The world of website development continues to be very much misunderstood. We've even heard people call it a "dark art". Then when you need assistance turning your opinions and fashions in to a good quality website or web application, you need to whom you can trust to get this done?

  11. The intention of this informative article would be to provide some outline about what produces a good website development company, and definately will help you view the sort of questions you have to be asking development companies.
  12.  
  13. That is destined to be a very opinionated post and now we make no apologies correctly. If you disagree with anything were certainly ready to accept discussing it further.
  14.  
  15. Now to continue the post. Here are the key areas we intend to delve into, and just what you have to be seeking in a website development company.
  16.  
  17. Able to do both front-end and back-end development
  18. Don't concentrate on one back-end technology
  19. Should follow best practices
  20. Idea of marketing strategies around the projects
  21. Invests in time research and development
  22. Features a rigorous testing process, including automated tests
  23. Flexible to switch
  24. Use source control
  25. Capable of singing both front-end and back-end development
  26. Unfortunately we cannot enroll in idea of developers who do front-end development and developers that do back-end development. That is the equivalent of developing a plumber who only fits pipes and instead gives off the fitting of the baths, showers, sinks and toilets to someone else.
  27.  
  28. We agree there is a separation between web developers and web site designers, you will find there's totally different thought processes taking place there, but the separation between front-end and back-end is just wrong. Becoming a good web developer you must understand the entire development cycle also to be capable of getting mixed up in the project from start to finish. There is also much to become learnt through the dealing with the varying technologies, but we'll seriously fot it.
  29.  
  30. Don't specialize in one back-end technology
  31. There are a variety of proper back-end technologies which might be right for web development including Ruby on Rails, ASP.Net and PHP (while others). Every one has their good and bad points and never one is perfect. A good web design company should be flexible by which technologies they'll use, so that they make use of the most appropriate one because of their clients' needs.
  32.  
  33. The primary reason we have spent time learning many technologies is usually to capable to select the bits we love. Through the years the developers active in the League are already able to take the good elements of each technology and formulate several guidelines and use them across all platforms.
  34.  
  35. Should follow guidelines
  36. The key to like a good webmaster isn't the technologies that you use, nevertheless the guidelines that you just follow. As technologies appear and disappear in our extremely fast moving industry those recommendations will continue to be, or otherwise evolve. Being a developer if you have a fantastic grounding then you can definitely move together with the times and technologies fairly easily.
  37.  
  38. So what are these best practices that we are talking about. Listed below are some in the key ones we follow.
  39.  
  40. Writing semantic HTML
  41. Follow web standards for all those front-end coding
  42. Automated testing of both front-end and back-end code
  43. Use of a MVC framework
  44. Understanding of marketing strategies around the projects
  45. We've heard this complaint more often than not that template designers don't even think in regards to the online strategy of a project. This is generally because developers don't care. Well they must. Just how do they advise clients and think of helping clients make the right solution, if they aren't with the "bigger picture" (sorry, we realize it's actually a horrid phrase, we'll go wash our mouths out now). If your developer blindly will the work, they may not be giving the client something, they're just as a meat puppet.
  46.  
  47. The key question a developer can ask is "Why?". Make time to view the client's requirements fully, and advise them, in fact the customer doesn't see the how to go about website development, one does. Increase the risk for development cycle a two way conversation.
  48.  
  49. Invests time in development and research
  50. As we know the world wide web market is an incredibly fast paced industry. Things appear and disappear from the blink of the eye. A good web design company gives it's developers allocated time per week to check out new trends and technologies. Admittedly some of these trends and technology is dead ends, however, you won't know until you explore them.
  51.  
  52. If you want to see whether an online development company knows there stuff, simply inquire what their developers happen to be looking into recently. You don't need to understand everything you are told, note them down though and appearance them up on the internet to understand if your company are looking at new trends you aren't.
  53.  
  54. R&D is probably the most important time each week for the developer. If developers don't evolve, the solutions they build can become stagnate and dated in a short time. Like a client do you want an obsolete solution even before you start?
  55.  
  56. Includes a rigorous testing process, including automated tests
  57. Many times we percieve the customer will be the tester for the project. If it is happening, then, to put it bluntly, the event company don't get your project sufficiently, they're just "banging out" code.
  58.  
  59. A good web design company needs to be writing automated tests (integration tests, unit-tests etc) for all their code, both front-end and back-end. On a simple level, tests help developers to concentrate on the code these are writing at that with time, in addition they help developers to publish more concise code. More concise code means the code is made of simpler to understand and cheaper to maintain.
  60.  
  61. The most important benefit for a test suite to a client is when changes are designed to the code inside the project there is additional confidence from the proven fact that the modification, or new code, hasn't broken anything else.
  62.  
  63. We are really not saying automated tests are the silver bullet of website development, and exams are only effective should they be written well, nevertheless they certainly must be section of any web-developers toolset.
  64.  
  65. Automated tests aren't the only important factor of testing. The web development company must also have a a higher level human testing also, and this is certainly something clients ought to be linked to. User stories are step to this method. Included in the development process, clients should work with the web development company to create User stories, to ensure that everyone concerned know how users will talk with your website or application along with the results of those interactions.
  66.  
  67. Flexible to alter
  68. Everyone's heard developers complaining how their clients' alter the requirements of your project midway thought a task. Developers must stop complaining relating to this, it will affect all of us and not going to change. An excellent web design company needs to have processes set up to deal with change. A high level client, ask how change requests will be handled.
  69.  
  70. Web designers should work to short release cycles, preferably 1 - 2 weeks. The hardest situation that could occur to a job is the developers receive the brief, start the task after which Two months later they announce it's finished, just for your client to say "This isn't some tips i requested!". By trying to short release cycles, clients can be involved at every stage. Following each release the consumer should look at the project thus far and submit any change requests.
  71.  
  72. Use source control
  73. Our final recommendation is a pretty obvious and one, to many people, but we still talk to developers who don't use any kind of source control. This seems more predominant with freelancers because they can't locate the importance since they are the sole ones working on the code. You might need the way they notice, chances are they are missing the actual.
  74.  
  75. There are numerous logic behind why all code needs to be source controlled. We're are only going to mention a couple of outline here. Firstly it's a smart way of keeping a log of changes built to code. (As long as developers place a comment into the commit). Secondly and most importantly is allows developers to alter code minus the nervous about losing already work already done. Almost all of the useful when trying out other possible coding methods to a difficulty.
