CSS/HTML/JS Customization for Responsive Website
Understanding the Client’s Needs – Recognizing and understanding the ground level needs raised by the client helps in accelerating the website development process. This helped us in developing the perfect web architecture. We were provided with the design layouts at the beginning. We began planning the development process after communicating the requirements and expectations.
Planning – Solid planning makes or breaks any web project. We structured and fixed the deliverables, resources, and timelines needed for the project. We further planned the technologies, layout installation, UI/UX and other intricate details. Our team of developers started executing the plan based on the planning stage.
Developing – The nitty-gritty of the website is addressed at this stage. The design layouts provided by the client is transformed into a functional model. The responsiveness of the website was redeveloped according to the client’s needs. Separate screens and distinct sections were created for the horizontal and vertical versions to match the screen resolutions of tabs, iPhones and Android phones. The development process, mostly, is divided into two parts: (a) frontend development, and (b) backend development.
Frontend development -involves the conversion of design layouts into HTML pages with add-on features and effects. The development was taken to a further stage by creating a responsive website. Details, like the background color in the mobile version matching with the template colors, were important.
Backend Development – refers to the development of the server, which is the soul behind the frontend body. It converts the user interface into a functional website. Some of the features of backend development are as follows:
Manage Clients – Here admin can add/edit delete the client list
Manage People – Here admin can add/delete/modify People (Team Members)
Manage Portfolio – Here admin can add/delete/modify the Portfolio list
Testing & Launch – The website had to go through multiple meticulous testing stages to ensure the smooth functioning of the website. Our testing team conducted various tests such as W3C, browser compatibility, device compatibility, page loading speed, responsiveness, coding, usability test, functionality tests, performance tests and a lot more to ensure that the website was ready to launch.
