Front-end Development agency: Custom Frontend Solutions

(FAQ) You might be wondering:

• What are the front-end development services?

  Front-end web development services are the process of creating the visual part of the website or web application, such as a graphical interface, that product users directly view and interact with. The front-end developers mainly use such programming languages as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create responsive, engaging, feature-rich, and user-centric web solutions. Some considerations to keep in mind when choosing frontend development agencies for your projects are the technologies used, how well a team understands security features, and the experience the team has had previously on projects similar to yours. Any button, font, color, menu, slider, link, animation, or any other element you can actually see, read, or have an effect on by pressing, scrolling, hovering over, etc., is part of a page's frontend. It also acts as a go-between for UX/UI design and back-end development services of web solutions.

• Why is front-end development so important?

  How well the front-end was developed determines the success of your entire company website or web application. Any web solution consists of what people see - the graphical user interface, and what they don’t - the server. Of course, the first impression of your company is going to be entirely influenced by the interface and its responsiveness, intuitiveness, and ease of use. Our application development services take both these factors into account. As we work on frontend development, we always ensure that our solutions will work with your existing infrastructure. Front-end development gives you the opportunity to make the most out of your direct and indirect communication with your visitors. Your site's frontend dictates how users will experience it and by extension a major factor in your site's conversion rate. Besides being good-looking and feature-rich, how smoothly the front-end part of the website or app performs will impact your sales and conversions. No one wants web applications to load for a long time, right? Another important factor to consider is the responsiveness of sites and applications. Good front end development takes into account how all users will experience the front-end regardless of the device they're accessing it from. This, and many more important aspects such as optimization, navigation, user experience, etc., are the reason front-end development is so important and will probably help your sales better than simple marketing ever will. Our development agency takes a holistic approach; we make sure your front-end always performs as good as it looks.

• What are the differences between front-end and back-end?

  In the previous question, we mentioned that there is another crucial part of websites or web apps that people don’t see - the server. The server-side of web development is called the back-end. It attends to the website’s or app’s logic and interactions. Every inquiry user makes on the interface goes through the server and returns to the front. Apart from servers, the back-end also includes databases and everything else that has to do with the structure, system, and logic. However, there’s no rivalry between the front-end developer vs. back-end developer. Both work for a single purpose - creating a functional user-oriented product or software for your company.

• How much do front-end development services cost?

  The costs of the website and web app development, as well as mobile app development, depend on a number of factors. You’re already familiar with the fact that the more complex the work will be, the more the project will cost. If you plan to have an enterprise-level web solution with numerous compound features, expect to lay out more than you would for an average business website or application. The second most important factor is the agent or developers’ rates. If junior developers can charge, on average, around $20-$60 per hour, then more experienced front-end specialists' services can set you back up to $150 and more. Full-stack developers will also expect a higher hourly rate than specialists with a more limited set of skills and programming languages. Last but not least, the country of the developer’s residence for outsourcing plays an important role in the price of their services.

• What are your key technologies for front-end development?

  Regarding our frontend services, web development, as well as any other work a project may require, always gets the best tools in the market. At the base of our work is the most common and time-proven toolkit of modern front-end development - HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These are the three main technologies that power most modern sites' frontend development. We use HTML to provide structure and element definition for your future website or web application. The style sheet language called CSS is there to add styling and layout and to interact with the components provided by HTML. JavaScript brings everything we’ve made to life by adding interactivity. Good web design relies on a solid understanding of how these elements work together to create an attractive web design or application interface. Depending on a site's needs, other technologies such as Angular can help streamline frontend development. These types of frameworks help a developer create applications and web features that perform better with less effort. Even though it seems like these three would be quite sufficient for most of the tasks we can successfully perform, we extend our set of technologies for front-end development by adding numerous helpful task and package managers, libraries, frameworks, and CSS preprocessors. We like to use frameworks like React JS, AngularJS, Vue.js, Bootstrap, and JavaScript libraries like React, jQuery, and D3.js.

• What are the front-end development deliverables?

  In software development, deliverables are items and services that the app development company should provide at each step of a software development project. Here, the primary deliverable is, of course, the front-end portion of the website or web application for your business, which includes the whole set of responsive web components, reusable skins, and themes. There’s also such a thing as the back-end services integration with the provided APIs, without which there won’t be a connection between servers and databases and the user interface. The less obvious deliverables of your front end development project also involve providing an extensive requirement specification document.

• How to outsource front-end development?

  Front-end development outsourcing helps save money on hiring in-house developers and presents an opportunity to choose a more suitable development team a larger pool of talents not restricted by geographical differences. First, to correctly outsource front-end developers, you need to select the outsourcing destination that will work for you - time-zone-wise. For example, see if your communication will not be set back due to a several-hour difference and if it will, check if you’ll be able to work around that. Eastern Europe, in particular, remains one of the most attractive destinations for outsourcing today due to an adequate time zone for most of the clients, the high quality of work, and slightly lower rates of its software developers.

• What is the typical timeline for front-end development projects?

  The typical timeline for front-end development projects can vary greatly depending on the scope, complexity, and specific requirements of each project. Clients have different requirements for their web applications that will impact the project timeline. However, here's a general outline to give you an idea of the time involved in different stages of a front-end development project when working with us: • Project Discovery and Planning: 1-2 weeks.

This helps us create a project plan, define the development milestones, and estimate the overall timeline. We can also recommend user interfaces and other app features to enhance your product. • UI/UX Design: 2-4 weeks. In the design phase, our frontend development agency creates wireframes, mockups, and prototypes of the user interface. Out development team works closely with you to ensure the visual design aligns with the project goals and brand identity. The duration of this stage of the development cycle depends on the number of pages, complexity of the design, and any revisions needed. • Front-end Development: 4-12 weeks.

A frontend developer will also integrate front-end components with back-end services, if required. The development time depends on the number of pages, complexity of the features, and any third-party integrations needed. • Testing and Quality Assurance: 1-3 weeks.
