Understanding Web Design And Development Edmonton

By Freida Michael


When it comes to building websites, understanding the mechanics is a key part of the process. Web design and development Edmonton are two different, equally important parts of website creation. Without both of these components, there is no web page.

Appearance is always a priority. Adobe Photoshop is a great tool to crop and alter images and make them just the right resolution. Color schemes, font selection, type size are all tools of the trade for the professional designer. It has to attract visitors to the webpage and keep them occupied. The site can't be too busy or too plain. The content has to be clear and interesting. Links and buttons must be well marked.

Internet browsers do not always know what goes on behind the scenes. They don't always appreciate the efforts and time that go into creating an effective place to buy a product or use a service. They also don't know that there are front and back end developers. It is a mystery to most. However, these are the key people who manipulate the mechanics of a site using coding and sophisticated layout to make it fun and interactive. Without them, the web would be dull indeed.

Front-end developers take care of what the user actually interacts with. They take the color schemes and graphics from the web designers and turn them into codes. It is a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which translates through the web into the website you see on your browser. They work closely with the designers.

Front-end experts make links and buttons go live while creating drop-down menus, transitions, and sliders. They enable infographics, embed videos, and create multiple pages. They depend on the designer's good eye for color and graphic design; thus it is a unified project that takes the work of many hands.

Back-end developers, meanwhile, deal with the technology. They are responsible for the server, application and database. When people interact with websites, any data they enter (such as if they are purchasing something) is served in the server that the back-end developers are responsible for maintaining.

Back-end developers work with a different kind of coding than front-end. They mainly work in PHP, Ruby, Java, . Net, and Python. They are responsible for manipulating data and keeping things running. The servers they run store all information they gather from their users, making it important for them to always be on top of things and make sure nothing crashes. Front-end developers often have to learn the same skills as back-end developers. They are sometimes one in the same.

They may be different jobs or they may be combined, depending upon the skills of those hired to do the job. It pays to be versatile in cyber land. Whatever produces a quality site that is user friendly and engaging is the goal of the enterprise.
