In today’s article, we’ll list some of these challenges and give you brief insights into how expert teams like Accubits Technologies can help you tackle them.
The world of web design is ever evolving with popular design trends usually linked to technological advancements. From the dark ages of web design, where designers worked with pixels on the black screen, to the introduction of JavaScript and Flash to the present day, where responsiveness of an app is the distinguishing factor, web development has sure come a long way.
Here is a brief outline of how web design has evolved.
With changes in the design, web development also continued to change. While web development has been traditionally known for developing web pages and websites, it has now turned to create web applications surpassing the browsing device’s complexity and size.
The evolution of web development has witnessed various prominent stages:
The two main aspects of web development are Frontend and Backend development. Since the 2000s, websites have been developed using standard web dev technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. But with the ongoing changes, the platform requirements have changed. The involvement of web frameworks and libraries came into the picture. Developers now have various tools at their disposal:
In the backend, multiple programming languages are used to introduce all features and functionalities into web design. Python, Java, C#, and Git remain some of the most traditional and latest choices of developers.

Creating a consistent and easy-to-maintain web development process is perhaps the biggest challenge businesses worldwide face. Companies sometimes fail to follow a standard roadmap and have to incur losses. Other times, they experiment with different approaches, which might prove valuable for a short time but cause unforeseen vulnerabilities in the long run. Yet, at other times, businesses focus on micromanagement instead of optimizing the development stages.

Our team works with your team to create a standard process focusing on consistency and continuous improvement, which is implemented across the value chain.
Delivering engaging user experience is essential for businesses today. In fact, poor UI/UX has been one of the top web design challenges faced by developers for years now. Today’s web and/or app design must improve interactivity and provide simple yet exceptional interfaces.
The developers at Accubits ensure that your web and/or app design is flexible and the UX content is easily available at each step.

Second, we ensure that interoperability isn’t compromised and that all built0in features and functionalities support smooth navigation. We also ensure that your app’s design renders content easy to read and comprehend throughout the user journey.
No user like slow-loading applications delayed processes, or lagging issues. However, achieving consistent performance throughout the app interaction process is difficult. Plus, keeping a check on this performance isn’t easy as well. Frequently occurring speed and performance issues can not only have a negative impact on your search engine rankings but may also lead to poor user experience.
The Accubits team works with you to ensure that the best practices are followed to maintain good app performance and speed. We help you track essential KPIs and user metrics, leverage app analytics to improve performance and speed, reduce app size, and use a content delivery network to ensure that your app is in optimal working condition.
The ever-increasing number of cyberattacks has highlighted the importance of maintaining top-notch security. Businesses often find it difficult to address cyberattack issues which further contribute to data malfunction, phishing, and poor user authorization, among other app vulnerabilities. Moreover, if you have an app that deals with critical user information such as payment and contact details or confidential documents, maintaining a high level of security is all the more important.

Accubits help you adopt practices that enable secure, confidential information exchange between clients and servers. Choosing a secure web host, backing up your app with SSL certificates, validating user input, following a good password policy, and sticking to the Principle of Least Privilege is just some of how we ensure that your app is secure.
A tech stack is a series of tools for designing and developing a web application. These tools can range from web-based technologies and independent apps, platforms, and services to frameworks, programming languages, APIs, and more. Your choice of tech stack directly impacts the outcomes of your business. Given the abundance of technological solutions available today, businesses often get overwhelmed while choosing the right combination.
However, when you work with the experts at Accubits, you can be sure to choose the tech stack that is most suited for your operations. Our team assists you in defining your project requirements (the type of product you want to build, the target audience, timeline, features, etc.) and compares those against the available tech stack to help you choose just one. Because we are well-versed with new updates, releases, and modifications of the tools being used, we can always ensure that your business never experiences a lag.
In the 21st century, it is one of the basic needs for businesses to ensure that their app is compatible with all preferred browsers, platforms, various operating systems, and different screen sizes.
We help you address this challenging problem by performing proper testing, both manual and automated, for your web app. We help you define a doctype, use a CSS rest, verify support for all CSS properties, exploit cloud-based browser testing to test cross-browser compatibility, and focus on fallback solutions. In addition, Accubits experts validate your code and use platform-agnostic tools to facilitate code reusability.
Scalability is one of the most important aspects businesses cannot compromise on. After all, it helps businesses interact with users while simultaneously acquiring new ones. But managing scalability is challenging because it requires balancing the load on the server. Essentially, your app needs to be able to cater to the requirements of multiple users simultaneously.
At Accubits, we help you utilize solutions such as cloud computing capabilities, microservices, and other distributed systems architectures that help you scale at a larger level. Exploring popular cloud platforms/solutions and using distributed systems such as microservices, shared database architecture, and distributed caching solutions is important to scale hundreds of millions of users.
Most businesses make the mistake of believing that third-party integrations are limited to payment gateways. Your app can offer several different functionalities through third-party integrations. For instance, you require Google Maps API Integration to access maps from your app. Third-party integrations are also beneficial because they can help you improve your social media capabilities. But why are third-party integrations a challenge for developers? Majorly because they need to be securely integrated with app customizations.
Accubits experts take the time to understand your app architecture and work to ensure that the changes made by third-party service providers is reflected in it. We check to architecture to ensure that it is in sync with your API code and carry out regular maintenance and updates to reduce development costs.
As many challenges as one may encounter while developing an app, the real challenge begins after the app is live. Poor execution of post-launch support and maintenance activities can lead to unresponsive web pages, slow loading, performance issues, etc. In addition, ensuring zero downtime while carrying out updates and other maintenance activities is difficult.
Accubits offer constant app monitoring support wherein we closely observe the essential aspects of your app to plan effective remediation. Based on this, we predict conflicting circumstances and plan corresponding bug fixes as per requirement. When the situation calls for it, we help you adopt a microservices architecture without disturbing or affecting any existing function during the upgrade.

Today, it is about developing complex applications, web services, and other digital products that cater to many users.
