Frontend development

Our frontend and backend development teams work seamlessly together to ensure skilfully created backends sit perfectly onto beautifully crafted and user-focused frontend developments.

A website with a finely engineered backend needs a perfect frontend to match. Our frontend developers will ensure that your important backend data is clearly displayed on your website.

Creatively crafted frontends will help sell your website, and with 63 years’ programming experience between us, we’re fluent in cutting-edge technologies. Our design-led approach specialises in hand-coded HTML5, CSS3 and AngularJS, using both progressive enhancement and graceful degradation techniques.

AngularJS

AngularJS is our JavaScript framework of choice and allows us to create faster websites and better user experiences. Maintained by Google, it is a cost-effective framework creating dynamic single-page applications. AngularJS provides a lightweight model-view-controller architecture allowing us to create interactive, data-driven applications. Extending HTML vocabulary and providing two-way data binding allows us to create scalable, data-rich applications. We have experience across a number of different projects including API integration to create RESTful applications. We also used AngularJS to create the popular Magento Ninja game.

Responsive design

All websites created at Absolute are fully responsive and mobile-ready. Our mobile design encompasses responsive web pages, mobile sites and apps, and our mobile-optimised designs continue your site’s look and feel, but in a touch-friendly format that makes the most of limited screen space. We can also offer different content on the mobile version of your site, such as location-specific functions that use the device’s physical position. Google now uses mobile-friendliness as a ranking indicator on mobile searches, so it’s best practice to invest in a responsive site.

Cross browser testing

The vast number and combination of setups in use on the web means that cross-browser testing is essential to your website’s success. Chrome, IE, FireFox, mobile, desktop and tablets all mean that your website has to work in a wide range of environments. Using BrowserStack, an industry-standard cross-platform test tool, we can check your website works successfully in hundreds of different combinations.

HTML and CSS

At Absolute we have specialist frontend developers who solely focus on HTML and CSS development, meaning that your website's frontend matches the functionality created in the backend development.
