Let’s have a look at the top 5 mistakes that the beginners should avoid for providing better Website Development services-
- Skipping the User Input Validation
The developers should never skip validating user input. It takes time, but it is best if such input validation is carried out on the client-side as well as the server-side. User input validation is important because we all know that user inputs can never be trusted.
Also, you can access the easy to use validation rules as provided by most of the front-end development frameworks. Most of the experienced website development companies recognize user input validation as an important component of the checklist.
- Incorrect SEO
It has been observed that web developers are not always aware of the latest SEO practices and trends. This results in the incorrect implementation of SEO in the development process that ultimately scales down the overall productivity of the website.
If you want a dynamic web development process in place, then make sure that SEO experts and web developers effectively coordinate with each other during the process of website development.
Some good SEO practices that can be followed:
- Use of good tags, keywords, site-map, meta-data, etc.
- Elimination of duplicate content
- Crawlable site architecture
- Intelligent and competitive link building
- The fast loading time of the website
- Ignoring the Optimization of Bandwidth Usage
A good website development service also expects the developers to consider the optimization of bandwidth usage so that the website still works for all such users who have a relatively slow internet connection. An efficient boost in the web site’s performance is observed when bandwidth usage is optimized. Some tips to achieve this optimization:
- Adjusting and optimizing the size and resolution of images and other graphics.
- HTTP Compression (Server Side)
- Using Content Delivery Network
- Using fewer plugins
- Minimizing the quantum of all JavaScript & CSS
- Identification of 404 errors.
- Not Implementing Cross-Browser Compatibility:
Cross-browser compatibility is something that a developer should never ignore in the practice of web development. However, most of the developers make use of only a single web browser at a time like Chrome, Firefox, etc. and as such, the cross-browser compatibility goes unchecked. We cannot blame them because they are always short of time and have intense pressure to release the website as soon as possible.
Some of the best practices that can be taken into account:
- Switching to different web browsers every 2 days to identify the major problems at the early stage of development.
- Avoiding the browser-specific code.
- Including the vendor prefixes.
- Using the correct JavaScript library or task runner
- Developing for Single Screen:
Responsive design has become the need of the hour as more and more people visit your website via different devices that have different screen sizes like smartphones and tablets. When website development is initiated a developer should not ignore the fact that more and more traffic to a website comes from such smartphones & tablets.
The trend is changing and people prefer to access the content from the more handy devices. Hence, it is of no surprise that an experienced and credible web development company CA will offer you a website that runs on different devices.
