Website and app development refers to the process of creating digital platforms that are accessible via web browsers (websites) or mobile devices (apps). These platforms can serve various purposes such as business promotion, user engagement, e-commerce, education, entertainment, and more.
Website Development
Website development involves building and maintaining websites that are hosted on the internet. It includes:
Frontend Development: Creating the visual interface using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is what users interact with directly.
Backend Development: Building the server-side logic, databases, and APIs that power the website. Common backend technologies include PHP, Node.js, Python, and Ruby.
Responsive Design: Ensuring the website works well on all devices—desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
CMS Integration: Using content management systems (like WordPress, Drupal) for easier content updates and scalability.
App Development
App development focuses on creating software applications for mobile platforms like iOS and Android or for desktop environments. It includes:
Native App Development: Apps developed specifically for one platform using its native language (e.g., Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android).
Cross-Platform Development: Apps that work on multiple platforms using a single codebase (e.g., React Native, Flutter).
UI/UX Design: Designing intuitive interfaces and user experiences tailored for smaller screens and touch interaction.
App Deployment and Maintenance: Launching apps on platforms like the App Store or Google Play and providing regular updates and support.
