What Is a Web Development Company?

Web development is the building and maintenance of a website. It’s the work that happens behind the scenes to make a website look great, work fast and perform well with a seamless user experience. The applications typically use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the client and PHP, ASP.NET, Python, Node.js, Go, or Java in the server. Web development agencies employ expert web development professionals to create bespoke websites for their clients. The process requires both front-end and back-end development. Some agencies are specialized in one of these fields, while full-stack agencies offer both.

How to Choose a Web Development Company?

First of all, create a clear outline of your needs. Decide what kind of website you want to build. Do you need an e-commerce website or blog? What functionality and content are you planning to include? Who is your target audience, and who are your competitors? What is your budget?

After that, check out the web development company’s work portfolio, read client reviews, evaluate the company’s website’s quality, and learn more about how they measure results. You can also check their portfolio for clients in your industry for an even stronger opinion of their expertise in your field.

 

What Do Web Development Companies Do?

Whether coding or designing, a web development company delivers the final product in the form of a website or web app according to the demands of its clients. Starting from planning, implementing, monitoring, communicating, and finally delivering the completed project before the deadline, they ensure quality at each step. This is why it’s a more feasible idea, in terms of both management and budget, to outsource your web development needs to a company instead of hiring a team of web development professionals individually. There’s a large number of website development companies in Chicago to help you do just that.

 

What Are Web Development Services?

Backend Development

Back-end development refers to the development of server-side logic that powers websites and apps from behind the scenes. This ensures that the website performs correctly, focusing on databases, back-end logic, application programming interface (APIs), architecture, and servers. The right agency with expertise in back-end development can masterfully solve the coding end of the design process to create a smoothly running website.

Frontend Development

Front-end development is the development of the graphical user interface of a website through the use of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so that users can view and interact with it. A qualified web development company is able to create an efficient user experience and interface for your website, which your users will utilize with comfort and ease.

Full Stack Development

Full-stack development refers to end-to-end application software development, including the front-end and back-end. A web design and development company with experience in both can provide you with a website to capture all your needs.

Wordpress Development

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system and one of the most prevalent ones in the industry. A website development agency well-versed in WordPress development can build a custom website to cater to your specific needs and fulfill the potential of your web presence.

PHP Development

PHP is a widely-used open-source scripting language that can be embedded into HTML. Website development companies often have professionals in the team knowledgeable on PHP development and can create fully functional websites using the language for your backend needs.

CMS Website Development

A content management system (CMS) is a software application that handles the basic infrastructure of creating websites without the user having to write the code. Agencies often also include website development through CMS in their web development services and can help you build one this way.
