Web design and development involves creating and maintaining websites. It’s like constructing a digital house for your business or personal brand on the internet. Web design focuses on the site’s appearance and feel, while web development deals with its behind-the-scenes functionality.
Think of web design as choosing the colors of your house, the style of your furniture, and how rooms are arranged. On the other hand, web development is like the plumbing, electrical work, and structural aspects that make everything function properly.
Examples of web design elements include:
– Layout (how information is arranged on the page)
– Color schemes
– Typography (font choices)
– Images and graphics
Examples of web development include:
– Coding the website (using languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
– Setting up databases
– Ensuring the site loads quickly
– Making the site work well on mobile devices
Absolutely. In today’s digital-first world, a website is often considered as essential as a physical storefront. According to a study by Blue Corona, 30% of consumers won’t consider a business without a website. Moreover, 75% of people judge a company’s credibility based on their website design.
WordPress is often chosen for its ease of use and flexibility. It’s great for small to medium-sized businesses, blogs, and e-commerce sites. WordPress powers about 40% of all websites on the internet, according to W3Techs.
On the other hand, the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) is used for building custom, complex web applications. It’s chosen when businesses need highly specific functionality, scalability, and performance that pre-built solutions can’t provide.
We develop WordPress websites from scratch using page builders like Elementor or Divi, rather than using third-party themes, for several reasons:
Performance: Custom-built sites are often faster and more efficient, as they don’t include unnecessary code or features.
Uniqueness: A custom site stands out from the crowd of template-based websites.
Flexibility: Building from scratch allows for more control over design and functionality.
Security: Custom sites can be more secure as they don’t include potentially vulnerable code from third-party themes.
SEO: Custom-built sites can be optimized for search engines from the ground up.
