A few years ago, layout scientists pointed out the urgent need for a website for business. It is difficult to imagine life without the Internet, websites, and mobile applications. Providers of the new generation of 5g communication assure that the Internet will even be in the jungle after the launch of the updated communication format on the market. Therefore, overall globalization and dependence on Internet technologies will only grow.
The market for software and tools has also undergone significant changes. Despite the fact that many giants of the IT industry still retain the leadership in the segment of the software for website development, smaller players compete and offer their own unique solutions.
In the context of a large number of types of online resources, the choice of a platform (or “engine”) for a site depends on the specifics of the business problem. A developer uses several solutions in most cases: a software platform or website builder and a working framework. If you want, you can write the site code yourself and do without editors and frameworks, but this has not been done for a long time. Therefore, the provision of backend development services is simply irreplaceable today.
Online constructors for modeling and content management
The first thing is the builder when it comes to platforms for developing websites. Using the platform does not exclude editing the site engine itself (a piece of code), but given the huge number of templates and extensions, the developers simply do not have such a need.
Today there are many online platforms for website modeling; about 10 of them are popular and form trends in the platform programming market. Almost every major player in the IT market offers its own website builder for a developer or is directly related to one of the popular website builders. So the Google search engine offers programmers Google Sites to implement their online projects. You can choose an online constructor from uCoz, such as uKit. In most cases, each service is very similar to its competitor and offers a basic list of site modeling tools. The choice of a platform depends on the complexity of the final task, budget, and peculiarities of the software environment. No matter what famous constructor a developer chooses, he can always use applications, frameworks, or extensions to create a unique, authoring product of almost any complexity.
CMS systems as the basis for comfortable website content management
The comfort and versatility of the CMS system is a fundamental parameter when choosing the platform itself for site modeling. This is due to the fact that programmers themselves are rarely involved in filling and editing text and graphic content. As a result, copywriters and content managers do this. If the CMS system includes complex interaction algorithms, this deficiency will negatively affect online resource development in the future.
The financial component should also be taken into account. Some resources involve payment for using the service; some are free or shareware. The most popular platform with an advanced CMS system is WordPress. This “engine” is used by most of the sites in the world. WordPress is a versatile and complete solution for any online project. Here you can choose both free CMS systems and templates and paid options.
It is believed that the use of platforms and standard CMS is more suitable for typical sites. Perhaps earlier it was possible to describe the situation in the market for such services in this way. Today, online designers offer how many typical templates, which, together with additional extensions, can help solve any problem.
Frameworks as a professional tool for unique applications
Frameworks do not require a CMS system at all. This technology itself is a solution for the site framework and its further management. The framework allows you to develop unique software solutions for routing, banking, or complex data exchange systems.
Popular frameworks have so many extensions that even a static and simple site can be made advanced. All services are very similar to each other and assume the same operating principle. Having mastered the principles of one framework, you can easily work with similar tools.
