Fox Valley Technical College launched a new responsive website in May 2014 using the DNN Evoq Content CMS. The previous site from 2006 was not mobile-friendly and marketing had little control over content updates. The new site was designed to be mobile-friendly, with marketing empowered to manage content. Initial results were positive, with a 100% increase in mobile visitors, 16% increase in organic search traffic, and much higher ratings for professional design.

Breaking The Broken Web
with Kyle Simpson
OVERVIEW
The web is fundamentally broken in two deeply profound ways and unfortunately the only way we’re going to move forward is to painfully break from our past and present realities. First, we’ve got to break from the idealistic but untenable notion of unbounded backwards compatibility. Then we’re going to need to break from the notion of building sites/apps that assume fast and unmetered bandwidth, unlimited battery power, and users which want their devices completely maxed out in experience. Let’s stop building a broken Web and break it forward.
OBJECTIVE
To come to terms with the Web we’ve built broken by its very fundamental design, and break from this past to move forward.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Designers and Web builders.
ASSUMED AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE
Basics of Web design and standards.
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
Why are there so many bugs in Web technology that never get fixed?
What is browser game theory and what does it mean to me?
Besides screen size/orientation, what other factors should come into play when deciding what experience to give a user?
What limitations do real users face which limit what experience they want or can “afford” on your site?
How can we wire user-choice into the fabric of what we build and the way users experience the Web?
AMP is coming to improve the mobile web. Big time.
There are many aspect to a great user experience on sites.
In order to improve the speed of the media websites on mobile and the monetization, we needed few things:
1. Fast pages. Fast to load, fast to display, saving bandwidth when possible.
2. Easy for the developers and companies to create. Only based on known and widely used technologies.
3. Mobile Friendly: they should respect a standard and thanks to this standard, pages would be automatically optimized for mobile devices
4. Embrace the open web: non-proprietary technology, open source, available to anyone to use and improve. It should not only help for search engines, but for everyone.
In these slides, we will cover AMP and what it can do for you.
About a year ago, we started using Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). The idea behind PWA was to replace native mobile apps. In this talk, I will show you what is possible to build with PWA, what kind of limitations exist, and what we learned in our journey. Along the way, you will see where progressive web apps can be a good fit for your own projects.
Slides from my recent presentation on Progressive web apps. I showed what they are and how I believe they are the future of web/app development.
I also demonstrated how to use de F12 tools in Chrome to debug the Service Worker and the Manifest.json file. I also demonstrated how, by adding and changing a few lines, a Node.js app is converted to a progressive web app.

Welcome to
What is web development and how it can benefit your business | SEO Exparte BD Ltd.
Consider all of the web applications you have used in the past week. You probably can't even keep track of how many websites you visited, including your favorite news site, Facebook, and shopping sites. The internet is probably the first site you turn to if you need to find gifts, reserve a hotel room, or make a doctor's appointment. Even when the actual purchase takes place in a store, 80% of significant transactions begin with online research. The fact that 1 in 4 small businesses still don't have a website or a web app is somewhat astonishing, then. Especially in light of the numerous advantages that web apps may provide for organizations.
A web app can help your company grow by positioning you as a reliable partner who values its clients. But how can you build a feature-rich web application that your users would adore? Web development services might be used in this situation if you lack the time or the necessary abilities to create one yourself.
What is Web Development?
The entire process of creating, developing, testing, and maintaining websites and web applications is known as web development. This refers to the entire process of web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting, network security settings, and occasionally SEO optimization that goes into making a web app look great, operate well, and have a smooth user experience.
Full-stack web developers typically write lengthy lines of code in text editors, style it with CSS, and then combine all the components to make these products. Today, however, they can also create a new website without having to start from scratch by using tools like Adobe Dreamweaver or content management systems.
The three main types of web developers are front-end developers, back-end developers, and full-stack developers. All of a website's visual elements are the responsibility of front-end development experts (layout, navigation bar, etc.). Its functionality and interactivity are also the responsibility of front-end developers.
Less visible duties and development areas handled by backend developers include administering the web app services, databases, and applications. To fix server-side concerns with back-end development, backend developers may also need to use additional server-side languages like Python, Ruby, Java, and PHP. Full-stack developers can work on both the front end and the back end.
What tools do web developers use?
When people refer to "web app development tools," they typically refer to the HTML, Java, and CSS programming languages, apps, and environments that enable developers to write and debug the code for online applications. However, the job of a web developer changes along with the digital world.
They now need to be capable of more than just writing code fragments. They must be knowledgeable with graphic elements, responsive UI/UX design, prototyping, wire-framing
The web design services and its technology represents the service by which an interface of the web gets a decent look which directly affects the user experience.
The technology of web design services and its technology go hand in hand as it represents the web interface which directly affects the user interface by user experience.
Web Design service should be perfect to meet the user requirements and the an effective user interface.
Web Application Development- Best Practices in 2023.Techugo
A web app is an interactive app that utilizes web development technologies, and end users can seamlessly access the same from their browser.
Web apps use standard back-end and front-end development technologies. Notably, web apps are closely related to websites. Not only this, but Web app development and web design share a number of parallelisms. To know more, visit the post.
Web application development in 2023 is expected to focus on cutting-edge technologies like AI, AR/VR, blockchain, and cloud computing. The integration of these technologies will enable businesses to create more engaging and personalized web applications that offer a seamless user experience. In addition, the emphasis on security and accessibility will be even greater in 2023, driving the development of secure and accessible web applications that can be used by people with disabilities.
