Web development

Front-end web development involves building the visual elements of a website, and creating dynamic and interactive features too. Modern front-end development typically involves using JavaScript frameworks such as ReactJS, VueJS, and AngularJS to simplify the development process and create a seamless user experience. In addition to the core HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills, a front-end developer must have a strong understanding of layout, colour theory, and visual effects. This includes implementing animations, hover states, and other dynamic features that enhance the user experience and make the website more engaging. Having a good eye for design and being able to create visually appealing websites that are easy to navigate separates great front-end devs from the good ones. With the rise of mobile devices, responsive design has long been a vital aspect of front-end development, ensuring that websites look and function well across all devices and screen sizes. The goal of our front-end developers here at Matterhorn is to create beautiful and functional websites that provide an enjoyable and seamless experience for the user.

Back-end web development involves building the server-side of a website, including the database and application logic. It involves using programming languages such as PHP, Ruby, Python, and Node.js to create a robust and scalable architecture that powers the website. A back-end developer works to ensure that the website functions smoothly and efficiently, handling tasks such as database management, server-side scripting, and API development – the less ‘sexy’ side of web development but incredibly important and powerful. Back-end devs work closely with front-end developers to integrate the front-end and back-end components of the website, making sure that data is properly stored, retrieved, and displayed to the user. Back-end developers must have a strong understanding of server-side technologies and database systems, as well as the ability to write efficient, scalable, and secure code. With the advent of cloud computing, back-end developers need to be well versed in cloud infrastructure as well as services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. At Matterhorn we have a small team comprised of specialist back-end devs as well as high level full-stack developers who can cover both the front-end and back-end aspects of most websites. Creating robust and scalable back-end systems that provide fast and reliable access to data, enabling the website to function seamlessly for the user is the typical objective of a Matterhorn back-end development specialist.

Systems like Salesforce have been designed to help businesses manage their customer interactions, lead capture, follow-up, and reporting. As a CRM integration web developer, our job is to customise the CRM system to meet the specific needs of the business, integrate it with the website using APIs and other methods, and automate tasks to create a seamless user experience. With expertise in both CRMs and web development, we help businesses streamline their processes, improve customer satisfaction, increase sales, and drive better overall performance. By integrating your CRM of choice with a website, we help businesses take their customer relationships to the next level, creating a more efficient and effective way to manage customer interactions.

Hypertext Preprocessor or ‘PHP’ web development involves using the PHP programming language to build dynamic websites and web applications. PHP is a server-side scripting language that is widely used for creating dynamic web pages and is well-suited for developing database-driven websites. PHP web developers write server-side scripts, integrating with databases, building the back-end logic that powers a website. At Matterhorn we have both specialist PHP developers who work closely with our front-end developers, as well as full-stack devs capable of working across both with the ultimate goal of creating websites which function seamlessly for the user. Having a strong understanding of server-side technologies, database systems, and web development concepts is a must when working in PHP. With its ease of use and broad range of libraries and frameworks, PHP is a popular choice for developing websites and web applications. Whether you are building a simple brochure website or a complex web application, PHP offers the tools and resources you need to create high-quality, scalable, and secure websites and applications. Building robust and scalable back-end systems that provide fast and reliable access to data and enable the website to function seamlessly for the user is always our goal.
