In 2022, the digital era is at its peak, and thereby every business needs a perfect, fast, calm, and, most importantly, a fixed website that does not change with updates and upgrades like WordPress has been infamous for such issues. In order to mitigate such types of risks these days, all companies need a Front-End Development Company to get what they want since they have the option to get a customized website.
Usually, developers use a combination of CSS, JS, and HTML to build websites. There are many platforms that come in handy for Front End Development – HTML5, CSS, JS, Angular, React, Meteor, and Vue.js. Let us start with the basics.
What is Front-End Development?
Let us go with a very simple definition- it is the development of the website that customers see as and when they visit your website. The front page of your website – the looks, feels, and how it creates emotions inside the reader depends on how the website is inbuilt. These front-end page elements may include the page’s header, buttons, images, and interactive web designs when your mouse hover is done in this development.
As discussed above, the base languages used in the browser are those three languages. Still, for designing and giving a fabulous look to the website, other languages are used, like angular, React, and many more. Then comes the work with UX designers such that once you approve the design, you can find the same design on the website.
Why is Front End Important?
The front-end development has always been the most important part of website development because if you have a proper back end, the front end gives an echo of what all is your business is about and how it can help the customers. Here are a few reasons:
- First Impression is a Game Changer – It is always said once a new user comes to the website, the very first impression leaves a long-lasting effect on the user. Let’s explain with an example- Say there is a website that takes a lot of time to open, and your website opens within a few seconds. The customer or your future lead will go for the latter one (your website) because it is fast and gives all the information, exactly what they must be searching for.
- High Performance is Less Bounce Rate – If you have come across a website with the best content and, more importantly, the site structure which has baffled you, it is something a user tends to bookmark. In order to generate leads and rank higher with search engines like Google, Bing should have a completely optimized website. This High Performance comes with customized coding and different platform usage, which allows running the code with the click of a button. These results – the lowest bounce rate, best retention rates, high-yielding leads, and top of the search results (keeping other factors constant).
- Brand Goodwill gets a Huge Upsurge – If you are able to get an immersive, mind-blowing, riveting, and compelling website, one can expect that brand awareness will go through the roof. Yes, you have heard it right because if you have such a website, it will be shared on more and more platforms by a popular marketing technique – Word of Mouth (WOM). After this, more traffic means a good ranking for the website and more promising leads, so yeah, there are other factors that go hand in hand with the front end, but it is the first step to growing your business.
- Build Faith & Confidence in the Brand – When the website is built with the best outlook and thinking, the result is an interactive website that gives a complete makeover to the user’s trust. Let’s say you want to search for something, and you want information that is good, quick, correct, and to the point, and not long length sentences that do not make sense most of the time- that is when the website keeps fulfilling such needs it will automatically build confidence like the famous website like Quora. How does it happen?
- An effortless Navigational Menu is a Plus – An easy, informational and proper positioning of the navigational menu not only gives a better outlook to the whole website but also helps in the proper crawling of the website with its headings and subheadings. If your navigational menu has something out of the box that one click can make your customer buy that product/ service even if they haven’t come for that purpose. Imagine you are at Walmart or maybe a 24Seven Store, the things highlighted in the common places give you the pull to go near them, and in many cases, you tend to buy them even if you do not need them.
Obstacles in Front-End Development
React, Java and Angular have always been the favorite languages for developers because of the ease of use and a whole bunch of libraries that support and let them design as per the needs and wants of the customer. There are a few times when they create tremendous obstacles-
- Customer Design Expectations
- Bugs in Coding
- Unable to get the Design Right
- Non – integration with other languages
- Going off the designing customer’s likes
There are huge teams in the Front End Development, yet it becomes difficult for anyone to look and go through the whole code and realize the cause was non-existential. So, everything has a few challenges, but how a company overcomes them and succeed is what matters in the whole process.
