Business applications for front-end web development are interactive, dynamic web-based tools like online banking or project management software, built using frameworks like React, Vue.js, or Angular for efficiency and scalability. Key technologies include JavaScript, along with CSS preprocessors like Sass and utility-first frameworks like Tailwind CSS, and state management tools like Redux. Businesses can create these applications in-house, hire freelancers, or use agencies to develop solutions tailored to specific needs. 

Core components and technologies

  • Programming Language: JavaScript is the foundational language for interactivity in front-end applications.
  • Frameworks and Libraries: These provide pre-written code to speed up development, ensure consistency, and manage complex features.
    • React: Popular for building user interfaces, used by companies like Dropbox and Airbnb.
    • Vue.js: Another leading choice, used by Nintendo and Adobe.
    • Angular: Used by Microsoft Office, Gmail, and Deutsche Bank.
    • Svelte: A framework used by Capital One and Snap! Raise.
  • Styling Tools: These help in styling the user interface.
    • Sass: A CSS preprocessor that adds features like variables and nesting.
    • Tailwind CSS: A utility-first framework that enables rapid styling through pre-defined classes.
  • State Management: This is crucial for handling and updating data in the application.
    • Redux: A common state management tool.
  • Other essential tools:
    • Webflow: A tool that can be used to build responsive websites and applications without code.
    • BugHerd: A tool for managing client feedback and bug reporting. 
Application types
  • Internal business tools: Applications for internal use, such as project management, financial tracking, or internal communication platforms.
  • Customer-facing applications: Software that clients interact with, like online banking portals, e-commerce sites, or customer management systems.
  • SaaS (Software as a Service) products: Applications offered as a service, often with recurring subscriptions. 
Development approaches
  • In-house development: Building a development team to create and maintain applications internally.
  • Freelance development: Hiring individual developers for specific projects, which can be managed through platforms like Upwork.
  • Agency development: Partnering with a development agency that offers a range of services from front-end to full-stack development, including UI/UX design.
