How do the beautiful plans you have for a site become useable reality?
Even the most attractive plan for what a website should look like needs development. Development turns an idea for a website into reality.
What is web development?
Web development is the process of turning a design into a functional website. No matter how clean and attractive your website design is, without a developer, it will never become a functioning website. Web dev can vary from developing a single additional page for a website, to producing a whole new site from scratch. It can also refer to maintaining and hosting websites, as well as database management.
Web development is divided into two sides – front end and back end development. The front end is the part of the website that visitors interact with directly – otherwise known as the client side. The back end is the part of the website that users cannot interact with. It includes the database, and the frameworks.
Client Side
Client side development – or front end dev – is the art of using coding skills to create attractive, functional and useful websites. The client side is the part of the website that the user can interact with. Any element of a website that requires a user input is part of the purview of a front end developer. Client side developers work with HTML, CSS and Javascript to produce functionality from the framework of a design.
Server Side
The server side – or the back end – is the part of the website that the user cannot access or see, but that makes the website function. The back end developer puts together the technology that makes a website work, and then maintains that technology.

Mactech needed a new website that transformed how they did business
"We have worked closely with Gumpo for several years as part of a broad experiment in digital marketing. Where this has resulted in significant changes in process to the business, they have been consistently helpful and approachable in explaining various projects from email marketing through to PPC, with the latter now forming much of our online strategy. In an industry often saturated with ‘quick fixers’ and face-value marketers, Gumpo offer a fuller long-term solution tailored to the client. Regular meetings and catch ups are always productive, and have enabled us to continually strengthen the online elements of our business. There is also a particularly pleasant cup of coffee at in-person meetings…"

Digital Marketer
"Charlie and the team at Gumpo have been brilliant to our business. We have seen a notable increase in website traffic (and orders) since they took on our PPC advertising, they regularly update all of our keywords to ensure we stay relevant - and report back on a monthly basis with all of the stats. We have also recommended Gumpo to our sister company and they have also seen a dramatic increase in website orders since their PPC was updated. Can't recommend the team enough - thank you Charlie!"
