Steps in Front End Development Data Gathering and Prototype Development:
It's worth noting that front end developers don't always work alone. They collaborate closely with the product team to adhere to the roadmap and understand the project's requirements. Our front-end developers collaborate with our design specialists at the Watchtower London to understand what the user interface should look like. Front end design and development is not always an easy process because it is always tailored to the needs of the project and the client. The front-end development process, like other aspects of software development, begins with gathering and defining business requirements. The most important aspect of the project is gathering requirements. During this stage, the product owner describes the project's expectations: what the project's goal is, who the target audience is, and how they will use the product. Our development team understands the client's needs because this information is critical for responding to the product owner's requests. After the client provides product requirements, our project managers and development team begin analysing the requirements. This step is critical for reducing the possibility of a mismatch between customer expectations and the final result. After gathering the requirements, our developers create a prototype that is presented to the client for evaluation. Following client feedback, our development team revises the prototype and re-presents it to the client for review. Once the prototype has been approved by the client, it is used as a requirement for building the actual application.

Steps in Front End Development - Development:
All of the requirements from the previous phases are transformed into the actual system during the development stage. Our Developers at Watchtower London define the most relevant front-end frameworks, tools, and best development practices to ensure that the product is developed in the most efficient way possible. They purchase and install the necessary software and hardware, and then write the actual code based on the specifications provided. At this stage, our front-end developer: creates user-facing features; creates reusable code for future use; ensures the technical feasibility of UI/UX design; optimizes application for maximum speed and scalability; ensures that all user input is validated before submitting to the back-end; collaborates with other team members and the client. Mobile-first is a modern web design principle that is closely related to responsive web design. The phrase 'mobile-first' implies that you should design your page's mobile layout first, then design each subsequent larger format. The theory is that by adopting a mobile-first approach, we can improve the experience for mobile users (who account for a sizable portion of total users). Traditionally, as your screen size shrinks, so do the features and content on your website. However, as the number of mobile users has increased dramatically over the years, this has become a major concern for designers worldwide. At Watchtower London, our front end developers use this guiding principle to provide our clients with usability optimization that goes beyond what a fixed design model can achieve.
