What Is Web Development?
Web development is a huge area of expertise that encompasses a lot of different aspects of the online world. But in short, web development is the process of creating, building, and maintaining websites and web applications. From coding and design to maintenance and troubleshooting, web development can be a lot but it’s important that it’s done right!
There are different types of web development:
- Frontend development which is geared towards the user-facing side of a website such as visual elements and how users interact with the site.
- Backend development which is geared towards the server-side and includes building and managing databases, processing user inputs and collecting data, and ensuring security.
- Full-stack development which is a combination of both frontend and backend.
FourHorse Digital can handle it all and more. If you’re interested in learning more about our services contact us today!

Can you work with all types of websites?
For the most part, yes! We have experience working on websites that are static HTML, websites that are custom built with React or other coding languages, and websites built on Content Management Systems (CMS) such as WordPress, Drupal, Squarespace, Wix, etc…
Of course, there may some limitations to what we can work with. However, we will be able to find that out before you make any sort of commitment to us.
How do I make my site secure?
There are many steps to making sure your site is secure and safe. The most important is to ensure you have a secure HTTPS connection with an SSL certificate. Ask your hosting provider or web developer about this. You should also make sure your site has the proper security headers to protect from certain types of attacks. Apart from that, there are other things that should be done on a website such as keeping all software or apps updated, protecting user data, preventing user enumeration, etc…
How do you make websites faster?
Addressing page speed can be complicated and tricky but some of the most important ways to increase speed are:
- optimize and resize images
- compress HTML, CSS, and Javascript files
- enable browser caching
- minimize http requests
- use lazy loading
- ensure all proper updates are made to software and apps
Does my website effect SEO efforts?
Absolutely! Companies like Google take into heavy consideration your website layout and design, accessibility, page speed, security, and other factors when ranking you. This is why it is crucial to have a well-oiled machine as a website so companies like Google don’t ding you when utilizing their platforms.
Do I really need someone to manage and maintain my website?
The short answer is yes, you should have someone that maintains your website to ensure it’s always up and functioning properly. Whether that is yourself, an in-house developer, or a marketing company is up to you and your budget.
