Web development

How do we achieve all of this?

1. We spend time on the up-front design of the structure and semantics of the websites we produce. This ensures they adhere to best practices and well-established design patterns.
2. We validate our sites using a variety of tools - such as Lighthouse, Wave and schema.org - to make sure we really do conform to the standards we set ourselves.
3. We employ single page web applications where appropriate that use the latest stable versions of client-side frameworks such as Angular, React and Redux. This allows us to produce really snappy user interfaces that leverage the best that the web front end community has to offer.
4. We test our sites thoroughly on a wide range of devices and browsers - using BrowserStack amongst other tools - and unit test our client-side code extensively to prove it's robustness.

How do we deliver the right functionality that we know works as required?

• We look at the data access patterns needed for the application and document a design that allows the UI to be built in parallel to the API
• We ensure the database is tuned inline with the way the UI needs to access data; so performance is part of the design
• We use test driven development to ensure that all code built has provable, repeatable tests, verifying the functionality is correct. We create end-to-end tests for the API using tools such as Postman
• The API developers work in the same team as the UI developers ensuring that the communication, vital to seamless interaction, is always there
