What is development in web development?
Web development is website design combined with back-end programming. The typical goal of web development is to produce a website that is database-driven. Some of the largest websites in the world rely on databases that allow the site owner to add, change, or delete what is stored in their database without having to open each individual file. The programming embedded in the website then takes care of updating the hundreds, if not thousands, of web pages.
However, web development is an evolutionary process for every individual client. Some businesses may require more basic catalog style website’s whereas; larger businesses may feel that an Intranet or an eCommerce style web design is more appropriate. TWENTYONEweb solutions consultants can help you tailor a business solution that meets your business requirements. To learn more, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.
Isn’t web development and web design the same thing?
All websites are created using web design techniques but web development, or Web programming, is only used when a site needs to be interactive, dynamic, or perform a function that is outside of the realm of static website design.
What else do I need besides a professional web developer?
That will depend on the purpose of your site and the type of interactivity it offers. You may need secure hosting, an SSL certificate, a merchant account, or an online transaction provider. We will discuss your requirements with you and provide the web consultancy necessary to help you determine exactly what is necessary as well as the best method of obtaining it.
Are your web developers properly trained?
Our professional web developers have all received training in web development languages and we have an ongoing training program to ensure that our knowledge is kept up to date. They attend regular seminars conducted by Industry experts. We have certified professionals in Google PPC, Amazon Web Services, Linux server administration, Javascript, System Administration, UX, Scrum, AdWords, and SEO. Our UI and UX designers have, at the minimum, a Degree, and the Developers are Engineers and Masters in Engineering and in Computer Applications from reputed universities in Greece. We also give them professional Project management training, team building, and knowledge-sharing practice.
Do you use ready-made website templates?
NO, and YES. We know you have a unique business and need a unique website to reflect your business. So, we prefer to give you a solution designed for you alone. However, although we do not recommend ready-made templates if your budget requires such, we would work with an agreed-upon template with you.
How long does it take to complete my website?
A website with 5 – 10 pages would normally take 7-14 days. However, this depends on the complexity of the pages and also on the participation level of the customer. It is crucial for the customer to provide TWENTYONEwith all requested information on a timely basis. We will involve the customer as much (or as little!) as they desire. Some prefer to be part of the process along every step, while others would rather let us use make decisions based on our past experiences.
How do I know the progress of my work? How will I report any errors?
We have our client help desk system with which you can easily view the status, follow up on the development and report errors. This is enabled in a secured location, which will help you to keep in touch with the developers without any hassles.
