Front-end development

The front end determines the success of your website. It consists of all the elements that the user sees - from the menu to the page footer.

If you want your website to attract customers and rank well in Google, you need to take care of a good front end.

UI design

We Create Connection with the User

User Interface (UI), or simply the website interface visible to the user, is a key area of ​​designing web applications, software or websites. It is everything that the user sees, touches and interacts with. We combine an innovative approach with the latest trends, we not only create interfaces, but also build bridges between the user and the virtual environment.

A good user interface includes several important elements:

RWD: Responsive design

All our front-end designs are fully adapted to screens of various sizes, ensuring a good user experience regardless of whether they are using a computer, tablet or smartphone. Importantly, responsive design is one of the fundamental elements of positioning (SEO).

Why is responsiveness so important?

Nowadays, due to the variety of devices used to browse websites, responsive design has become an industry standard and its use is widespread and recommended.

UX: User Experience

This term is slightly broader than UI. UX covers the entire experience that users of your website have. Here is an example - an online store may have a perfectly designed website, i.e. a good UI, but if the purchasing process is complicated and requires providing a lot of unnecessary information or answering many different questions, the UX of such a website will be poor.

How do we design?

When working on your website, we design not only its appearance, but also its behavior and operating logic to make it as accessible and intuitive as possible for your customers/users.

We improve the quality of user experience

One of the UX solutions that we implement are various types of interactions and animations - they improve the quality of visual experiences when using the website and user engagement.

Performance optimization

Your future website should load quickly (ideally in less than 3 seconds) and respond quickly to user movements (e.g. button clicks). This is very important because some time ago Google implemented a new set of recommendations known as core web vitals (read more on the blog).

If your website does not meet the CWV requirements, its positioning will be very difficult. User experience will also suffer because such pages are slow to load and make it difficult to perform various activities.

The website you will receive from us will achieve good Core Web Vitals results, this is possible thanks to the use of several very effective solutions:

Optimization of graphic files

A site that has a lot of images (e.g. an e-commerce site) can become very heavy and slow. To avoid this, we compress all image files into the webp format, which provides good quality graphics with a smaller file size compared to traditional formats (such as JPG or PNG).

File minification and compression
Minification involves eliminating unnecessary elements from the code of a page, which makes it lighter and faster to load. Compression, on the other hand, reduces the size of files such as CSS style sheets or JavaScript scripts, which also speeds up the loading of the page.
Lazy loading
To technika, która opóźnia ładowanie obrazów na stronie internetowej do momentu, gdy są one naprawdę potrzebne (np. gdy użytkownik przewija stronę i dany obraz staje się widoczny). Dzięki lazy loading Twoja strona nie musi od razu ładować wszystkich elementów graficznych, co by ją niepotrzebnie spowalniało.
Reducing the number of requests to the server
The idea here is to limit the number of requests that the users browser sends to the server to retrieve the pages content. Reducing these requests also significantly speeds up the pages loading time.
CDN usage
Are you planning to do business internationally? If so, you need a CDN! In short, its a global network of servers located all over the world. CDNs speed up the loading of your website for customers living in other parts of the world. With a CDN, your website can load just as fast in the United States as it does in Poland.

Application testing

Our testing procedures ensure that no matter who views your website and where, they will always see a fully functioning website.

Before the website is published online, it undergoes a series of tests to ensure that it will function properly and be displayed on various devices and browsers. This is the so-called cross-browser compatibility.

We perform such tests on X operating systems and Y different web browsers. This allows you to capture (and eliminate) errors that may be specific only to a given device or browser.

VSC

This acronym stands for version control system. We use two VCS systems – Git and GitHub. We chose these systems because they are flexible and efficient - they enable source code management both on local devices and in the cloud. VCS is a solution that allows us to track and manage changes to the website code without the risk that any change will cause the website to malfunction. This is one element of our testing procedures. In practice, this means that whenever you want to change something on the site, we will test that change in a secure environment so that there is no risk of the site going down as a result of that change.
