Frontend development process at VM

We love React and TypeSript – Frontend development
We see the development of the front end as an independent discipline and have experts on our team who can cover all important aspects of a state-of-the-art web front end. At Ventzke Media, front-end applications are always fully responsive in HTML5, CSS3 and with the help of JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax, TypeScript or JSX. We use CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap, Foundation or UIkit and JavaScript frameworks such as Angular or React. All templates are implemented according to the “pixel perfect” principle.
Node.js is king! – Backend development
For the development of our backend applications and REST interfaces, we mainly work with Node.js. The development with Node.js enables a fast implementation of powerful, robust and scalable applications and server backends. In connection with database systems such as MongoDB, CosmosDB or PostgreSQL, Node.js forms the ideal basis for our projects.
Cloud-based applications – Individual software development
Another core competence of Ventzke Media is the development of web applications with technologies such as Angular or React. These high-performance JavaScript libraries developed by Google and Facebook work according to the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture pattern with the support of the Flux / Redux concept for creating the respective application states. With this method we separate the programming logic (backend) and the design logic (frontend) from each other. This makes it easier to carry out the developments in the backend without having to adapt the design of the application.
Testing, testing & testing 😄 – Quality assurance & testing

To ensure quality, our project managers monitor the entire programming process with regard to performance, functionalities and user experience. After completion of the development, the result is tested according to the same criteria.

At Ventzke Media we rely on automated processes, among other things. which make it possible to ensure consistent quality with increased productivity and higher development speed. These cyclical tests are called regression tests. So that every team member in a project is encouraged to integrate high-quality applications, central services are available that monitor the quality. These are CI (Continuous Integration) servers. At Ventzke Media, we use Jenkins, among others.

The technical implementation of the front end is basically implemented in accordance with the standards of the W3C defined in the project, apart from older browser compatibility. Validity and a minimum of warnings are guaranteed. The W3C validator is used for testing. In addition, we check the developed application for speed, image compression and script files with Google's PageSpeed ​​Insights tool.
