Technologies in Web Development

With the rise of new and powerful front-end development solutions, the scope of website building and user interface designing is growing quite rapidly. Today, we have a range of web application development frameworks, UI libraries, mobile development technologies and several new software applications in the market.

Web development uses many different technologies and finished products: programming languages ​​and markups in a "pure" form, databases and other information stores, software products for simplifying development (frameworks and site management systems), and server software.

If very briefly, then the modern site consists of the following main components:

  • The interface. This is what the user sees when he visits the site. Implemented with HTML, CSS and JS.
  • The software part. These are algorithms that serve the processing of user requests. In fact, the program part creates or receives from the database information that the user requests, and also receives and processes data from users. The program part is written in server programming languages ​​and, as a rule, on the basis of some development platforms.
  • Database. This is the storage location of information that is used on the site. The database stores the contents of all pages of the site and their interrelations, orders of users in online stores and much more. Upon request of the software part, the database finds and gives the required records (for example, the information displayed on the page) or records new data (for example, the contents of the order).
  • Hosting. This is the server (computer) on which the program part of the site is running and the database is stored. Hosting can be different, on its kind depends the speed and reliability of the site.

The requirements for the components are quite predictable:

  • The interface should be beautiful and convenient, correctly displayed in different browsers and on different devices.
  • The program part should perform its tasks quickly and without errors.
  • The database must reliably store information and quickly process requests.
  • The server should work without interruptions, do not slow down and withstand many simultaneous calls.

If you limit yourself to one recommendation, then just find a professional contractor to develop the project: he will ask the questions you need, and he will design the solution that suits you, and realizes everything qualitatively. However, the realities of the market are such that it is not easy to find a good contractor, so it is very useful for the customer to understand some of the design features.
