Front-End Development

Front-End Development

The front-ends of your web or mobile applications determine users’ first impressions of your company. How they interact with your content, from filling out forms to searching for products to browsing media, will determine their perception of your business. That’s why it’s important to get front-end web development just right — the first time.

What is the Front-End Development?

The front-end development is the process of designing and creating the user experience on a company’s web pages or mobile applications.

For internal applications, the front-end experience is critical to employee productivity, satisfaction, and retention. When team members can work easily and efficiently with your platforms, they get more done.

For customer-facing applications, the front-end experience is critical to branding, sales, and customer service and can have a powerful impact on your company’s reputation.

No matter who is the end user, the goal is to develop an interface they’ll find aesthetically pleasing, intuitive, high-functioning, and easy to use, leaving them loving your brand.

Algothic’s Front-End Development Expertise

Algothic’s Front-End Development Expertise

Algothic’s front-end development experience spans a wide range of industries, business sizes and platforms and has produced countless happy clients. Here are just a few examples.

Lifelong Driver

We converted a driver’s education company’s successful desktop software to a web application that would make its classes available to a broader audience. The seamless driver’s ed experience, including text and video lessons, quizzes, and simulations, all within a single web application.

Our Front-End Development Process

Front-End Development Process Front-End Development Process
Discovery

We start by working closely with our clients to understand business processes, workflows, challenges, and goals so we can create a comprehensive list of application features and technical specs.
Learn more about discovery.

Prototyping

To be sure our vision is aligned with our client’s, we use what we’ve learned in discovery to build a prototype — a visualization that starts to bring the software solution and its user experience to life for your team.
Learn more about prototyping.

Development

Once we are aligned on the vision for the product, the development process begins. We use an agile approach that enables us to deliver usable iterations of the application on a regular basis, adding layer upon layer of complexity until the project is complete.

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance happens in tandem with development, as a separate team thoroughly tests every line of code to ensure it functions as it should — and ensuring any bugs are fixed prior to delivery and integration.

Integration

Once your new front-end application is ready to deploy, we work with your team to “start the engines”, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with other systems in use and operates exactly as it should.

Maintenance

Whether real-life usage of the software reveals necessary adjustments or your growing business could benefit from additional features down the road, Algothic’s team is on call to support the performance of your new application even after implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Front-End Development?

Front-end development is the process of designing and creating the user experience on a company’s web pages or mobile applications. Whether the end user is an employee or a customer, the goal is to develop an interface they’ll find aesthetically pleasing, intuitive, high-functioning, and easy to use.

What exactly does a front-end developer do?

The front-end developer’s number-one goal is to ensure the application being built is designed so its users can interact easily, efficiently, and smoothly with every page. This involves both design and development, as well as quality assurance and maintenance.

How can you determine whether a project requires a front-end developer?

If it’s important that your application is aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, and if you don’t have front-end development experts on your team already, then you more than likely need a front-end developer. We’d love to talk about your current and upcoming projects to discuss whether our services can help.

What's the difference between front-end and backend development?

Front-end development projects are focused on the parts of an application that users see and use, including both design and functionality. Back-end development, on the other hand, is all about what takes place behind the scenes, including a site’s structure, foundational systems, and underpinning data and logic.

Which language is the best for front-end development?

There are a variety of programming languages that can be used for front-end development, and the best choice will depend on your business’s particular goals, existing systems, and needs. As a technology-agnostic software development company, Algothic is not beholden to using or selling any particular platforms or technologies, and we pride ourselves on working with each client to select the best programming language—and other technologies—for their unique project.

What JavaScript framework do you suggest, between Vue.js, Angular, and React?

Again, each of these frameworks has benefits and drawbacks depending on your project’s requirements. We don’t default to any one framework; rather we work closely with our clients to understand their needs and examine their projects before selecting the best one for their particular scenario.

Why is interactive frontend application design essential for my business growth?

Think back to the last time you struggled to use a clunky, unintuitive, or buggy application.
  • If you were using it at your job, did it help you get your work done, or did it slow you down? Did it make you excited to come into work every day, or did you find yourself dawdling in the mornings as you dreaded logging in?
  • If you were using it as a customer, did it make you want to buy from that brand, or did you navigate to a competitor’s easier-to-use application? Did it leave you with a good impression of the company’s customer service and competence, or did you find yourself thinking your time and money would be better spent elsewhere?

What does it cost to hire a good front-end developer?

Custom software development prices vary from $15,000 to $250,000 or more, based on a variety of factors. Read our blog post to learn why prices are so varied and how you can work with your chosen vendor to develop a full scope and pricing structure.

How do you ensure application security?

We know that data privacy and information security are top of mind for businesses and customers alike. Thanks to our experience in heavily regulated and high-security industries like finance and healthcare, we have a bevy of tools in our toolkits to ensure every application we develop meets world-class security, privacy, and quality standards.

How long does front-end development take?

Again, unfortunately, it depends on the scope of your particular project. When we begin the discovery process, we’ll work with you to chart a course toward an application that meets all of your needs on a mutually satisfactory timeline. And, because we prefer to take an agile approach to development, most of our projects are completed in short cycles or iterations, usually lasting one to four weeks, that each result in the delivery of a portion of the end product that is valuable and can be integrated right away. This means you can start adding value to your business before the project is fully completed.

How quickly can we start the project?

We’re as excited to get started as you are! Lead time will depend on the scope of the project and volume of Algothic resources required, but in general, you can expect we’ll be ready to get started within about two weeks after the scope has been determined and paperwork signed. Some larger projects, particularly those requiring larger teams or team members with unique skills or qualifications, may require more lead time. However, we know every client’s project is critical to their business operations, and we pride ourselves on moving efficiently from initial talks to project development.
