Website development is about choosing the platforms, technologies, and coding language that will help you achieve your goals. Proper web development should enable you to keep up with the changing times, ensure easy usability, and facilitate future needs.
What is Website Development?
Nowadays, web development is sort of the hidden ''what happens behind the scenes'' part of websites. With the rise in CMS (customer management systems) such as Wordpress, you can manage your website's content without even knowing where all the code or development is happening.
The job of a web developer is to understand the language(s) required for various platforms and tasks. Once they're given a design, they need to ensure the code will properly showcase the desired look & feel.
There's a lot of work that goes into customizing pages to fit a certain design and functionality. Plus, if you want speed and high performance, coding and development tweaks will go a long ways.

We apply site-wide styling and functionality, plus page specific building. We ensure that any forms, features, tools, and translation capabilities are all built if requested. We can also apply SEO and accessibility measures to ensure an optimized and high performing website.

TESTING
Functionality testing includes things like page loading, links, form submissions. Browser testing is done to ensure the compatibility with various browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Performance tuning ensures a quick loading speed. Mobile optimizations ensure that the design and functionality performs on various sized devices (phones, Ipads, computers). The design verification is to ensure that the user experience, design and animations are exactly as expected. And lastly, we apply on-page SEO or desired pages.

What our clients are saying...
Our collaboration with U7 resulted in a website that is converting visitors for us at about 70%-80% (no joke). We run an immigration consultancy and if we can get prospects to our website they almost always become a client. The design of the site fits our strategy perfectly, which is to create an instantaneous personal connection with and establish the bona fides of the principal of our company, Renata Brum. I don't know if the site could be any better than it turned out and it is performing way, way beyond our expectations. I presume the savvy team at U7 will do the same stellar work for your business as they did for ours.
As an active listener, engaged team leader, and expert web strategist, Jayson brings years of experience and knowledge to any project he works on. I've collaborated with U7 on multiple projects. Their client-centric approach, and dedication are key drivers in their ability to successfully deliver on time and on budget. I would recommend Jayson and his team, as their professional yet flexible management style create a stress-free client experience.
Thank you to U7 Solutions for partnering with us on the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime website by taking on the development of the website. The team at U7 architected a leading edge platform with WordPress on the back-end and Gatsty on the front-end. They were able to bring to life the new design and empower the client with an easy-to-use content admin experience. Looking forward to future collaboration!
