Are you planning on hiring a web
development team for a business project? It’s a standard business
practice these days. You may be surprised by how large a typical web
development team is, though, and may wonder if all those members are
necessary for what seems to be a simple project.
Here is a typical composition of a web
development team, to help you understand what the members are
supposed to do on a typical project:
Front-end developer
The front-end developer is responsible
for writing code that makes the visuals of a website. They use
JavaScript, HTML and CSS for this task, and sometimes tools like
Photoshop.
Back-end developer
The back-end developer is responsible
for writing code that the server uses to process browser requests.
They work in languages like Python, Ruby, and ASP.NET.
Full-stack developer
A full-stack developer combines both
back-end and front-end development work, though this position is
difficult to handle for large projects. It’s better to have two
people to do separate jobs instead.
Database developer
The database developer works on how
data is stored in a database. He also fine-tunes data storage and
makes changes in it to make it more efficient to store data.
Graphic designer
The graphics designer is responsible
for actually designing how the site is going to look, though they
leave the coding to the front-end developer.
User interface designer
The user interface designer works on
the UI, coding it to make it look more attractive and clean.
User-experience developer
The user-experience developer, on the
other hand, is responsible for optimizing the interface and the
website, in general, to make it more user-friendly and as intuitive
as possible.
Data scientist
A data scientist is a new role, one
that is becoming increasingly important too. However, data scientists
are mostly employed by large companies and aren’t usually relevant
for smaller projects. A data scientist is responsible for analyzing
website data and making suggestions to the business to improve sales.
If you’re hiring a web development team, make sure that there is a specialist to cover every position.
It pays to hire professionals that know what they’re doing for
large projects – a large number of people send work to cheap
developers and later have to pay a lot of money to professional
developers to get it corrected.
