Strictly speaking, web site developers are responsible for back end of web development, that is to say the code behind a site’s functionality. They concern themselves with the mechanics of the site, while web designers determine its arrangement, look and feel. If your business has its own website, it is essential that the foundations on which it’s built are free from glitches and running smoothly, especially if you are using it for e-commerce. A beautifully designed website is useless without solid development to back it up.
Areas covered by web developers include:
- Server side languages/frameworks
- Client side coding
- Browser plug-ins
- Application development
- Data storage and database management
- Content management
A “web development agency”, though, will often offer the complete website package (including development, design, search engine optimisation, hosting) and there can be a lot of overlap between the respective duties of web developer and web designer. Once your website has been created, a development company will usually provide support and maintenance.
If you need a web developer to build solid foundations for your website, Approved Index will find you a development agency perfectly suited to the requirements of your business. Just fill in our simple enquiry form to receive free, no obligation quotes from up to 6 professional web site developers.

16 May 08 – Google Preparing “Doctype” Wiki for Web Developers
The mighty Google have announced the development of a new Wikipedia-style resource to further the understanding of web tools like HTML, JavaScript and CSS. The online tech encyclopaedia, already known as “Doctype”, aims to give website developers a reference service where they can share their own knowledge or take tutorials from Google’s own master developers.
With the tagline “written by web developers, for web developers”, the wiki is open to be edited by users at will (as long as they have a Google account). As well as the encyclopaedia, Doctype will also offer a JavaScript library with over 8,000 lines of code written by the Google development team. The resource will not cater for absolute beginners in the spirit of Wikipedia, but for developers of an intermediate standard upwards it should prove a useful tool.

29 Apr 2008 – Yahoo! Announces “Open Strategy” to Web Developers
Web giant Yahoo! have announced a mammoth project to unite their various services into a single social network. The so-called “Open Strategy” is aimed not only at connecting Yahoo! users more easily, but also at allowing web developers to create “write once, run anywhere” applications that can be used by millions instantly.
The announcement was made at the San Francisco Web 2.0 Conference last Thursday. Chief Technology Officer Ari Balogh was keen to emphasise that this was more than just another social network. Yahoo! vision is of a bigger platform – “We are building social into everything we do”, he explained. Yahoo currently boasts 500 million unique users and owns social sites including Flickr, Del.icio.us, and calendar site Upcoming.
Some have said that a development of this size is a move to ward off Microsoft, who made a $44.6 billion bid for the company back in February. Microsoft are now warning that they will push for a hostile takeover if their offer is refused or ignored.
