The development of the server-side of the website (backend development) and the correct implementation of its functionality is a priority task in its programming and preparation for use.

Web Focus, being a back-end development company, helps develop backend-components of the sites and applications from the necessary minimum according to the requirements specification (we draw up the TOR together with you, without asking for anything complicated). Programmers will deal with the selection of appropriate technologies, the design of the architecture of the site, and even with the “custom” administrative panel.

All you need to do is contact our staff, and we would help create a unique website with personally selected backend components.

What is backend development in outsourcing and what does it come with?

Back-end development for websites, applications and games in general can be compared to an iceberg. A user of the software sees only the final result of the work – the tip. A beautiful picture with the stuffing worked out to the state of the Swiss watch mechanism, which doesn’t let them down. Everything except the tip of such an “iceberg” remains hidden from the eyes of an average user. And the part hidden from their eyes (debugging, storing information in the database and other details which are not visible) will remain incomprehensible. The obscure part, is that the main component of the iceberg, is called the backend part.

From the standard development, which involves a “man in the office” (the company’s regular programmer), the development by outsourcers differs only in the fact that it will be carried out by outside specialists. There is a kind of advantage here – people are unbiased and ready to take on the work as requested by the customer.

How ‘backend’ differs from ‘frontend’

Back-end app development, back-end website development and development of other gadgets (for any device) have a rather complex internal structure. And the more tasks the app performs, the more problems it has to solve, the more complicated the internal structure will be, and the more layered it will be at the end of development.

But this is just a short preface to the basic part. And the basic part looks like this

Software development is divided into:

1) The client side, which is just called fronted development.

It is responsible for the visual perception and includes a web design, delays, animations and other interesting tricks able to attract the attention of the potential buyer of the product presented in the application or ensure sufficient monetisation of the resource.

2) The server side, which is just called backend development

The backend program is responsible for all the backend performances of an application or website – its connection to the server, processing information, storing information from accounts in the application and so much more. In short, outsourcing backend development is everything that's underneath the user interface of the application.

The initial difference between the “frontend” and the “backend” of an application is that the “backend” is responsible for handling information coming from the user, and the “frontend” simply provides a comfortable interaction with the “backend” component. Hence, the difference in salaries between frontend and backend developers (the latter earn somewhat more, even with minimal interaction with the customer).

These two types of developers may not understand neighboring areas (despite the similarity, the directions are different). It is enough for them to understand how the application interface will interact with the databases, and that is the end of the mutual understanding of each other’s sphere in programming. It is a mistake to think that a fronted developer would understand backend development services and vice versa.

Now let’s talk about backend development and outsourcing

If a fronted-developer only needs to get design layouts and rough terms of reference to get started, this will not work for a multi-tiered server component. The developer would have to take into account the variety of design nuances and peculiar pitfalls.

In order to achieve this desired result, all project participants will have to make an effort to describe the project requirements. Based on the project requirements, the project manager and the implementers will draw up a good TOR to ensure that the project is completed correctly. The more demanding the project itself, the more effort needs to be put into creating the TOR for the backend programmer.

So, about the possible nuances of backend development:

System architecture and tools

One of the pledges of a smoothly proceeding and adequately worked out project – correctly chosen system architecture and tools for creation. You shouldn’t rush the developer while he fits the system architecture to his purposes, even if you are closely involved in the project and think you know how to do it better and faster. Sometimes you shouldn’t get in the way of a professional doing his or her job.
