Here’s Why Just About Any Node Js Developer Won’t Do (and Why You Should Look for a Fast Learner)

Node.js development is undertaken for the creation of scalable server-side and networking applications. However, if your developer doesn’t keep track of the changes that the node.js libraries go through, almost every month, and is unable to address the version issues, if any, can he/she still develop the desired apps for you? The answer is no. For better results, you must hire someone who knows that node.js libraries have an active development cycle. It is also important for the developer to ascertain the platform’s feasibility so that you can take a look at other options, if the need be.

For instance, if you need to get some CRUD (create, read, update and delete) applications developed, he/she should be quick enough to tell you that node js development is perhaps not one of the best options for you in this case and that you should rather consider Ruby on Rails. But what if the node js developer is not willing to accept the platform’s limitations readily? Now, that can cost you a fortune, in terms of money as well as time. So it’s better to avoid hiring any such developer.

That being said, you may also want to look for another node js developer in Sydney, or wherever your business is based, if the one available for hiring is yet to learn the event-driven, functional programming aspects of the platform. He/she must move up the learning curve really fast.

I Am A Website Designer. Let Me Talk You through the Design Process.

For a good web designer, it always starts with the planning. After all, not much can be done before your requirements are analysed, your ideas are heard, a project charter is put in place and the resources are determined (and more importantly, arranged for). Once the planning is taken care of, it’s more about bringing the ideas to life. It is now that your website begins to take shape. A layout is designed first, which is then turned into a mock-up or a prototype. And once you approve of the prototype, it’s coding time. However, changes, if any, are made before the code is written – that’s when it is the easiest to tweak the design as per your liking.

That being said, coding also calls for the involvement of a developer, who needs to perform some key tasks:

• Ensuring that only the most suitable framework is chosen for your website
• Working with you to zero in on the pages to be created
• Introducing special features, if possible, and testing the site for interactivity 
• Taking care of the content part; paying attention to typography and other important details

Once the developer does what he/she is supposed to do, I take over and prepare for the launch of your site. It is my responsibility to fine-tune the design and then transfer it to a live server. However, before transferring the design, I need to make sure that the site has been checked for broken links and other errors. For this, I use various tools, including code validators. And yes, I also check the site for cross-browser compatibility.

 

The Big Day 

Finally, the website is launched. But that doesn’t mean that my role is over.  In fact, being the website designer, I now have a more important role to play. After the site has been launched, you must be provided with proper documentation and the source files so that you can easily make changes later on, if the need be. I hand over these files to you and also ensure that the requirements specified in the charter have been fulfilled.
