What is a Corporate Website?
A Corporate Website is designed to engage viewers to want to learn about your company or organization. It is a place where customers discover your brand, your mission, and what you have to offer. A Corporate Website is the home base for your business, something social media can’t provide, and is critical to business to business transactions.
Why Corporate Website?
Without a Corporate Website, your company doesn’t have a home base on the web, and consumers who are searching for online products and services will have little to no information about what you have to offer. A Corporate Website is critical to the success of any business these days, as most consumers spend a majority of their consumption online. If you own a company or run an organization, having a Corporate Website is an absolute must. At KOSMOS Digital Solutions we can help you build a powerful Corporate Website presence.

What is Web Development?
Web development is the building and maintenance of websites; it’s the process that happens behind the scenes that is responsible for the way the website looks (User Interface or UI), as well as, the way it performs and the way it interacts with the user (User Experience or UX.)
Web developers are able to achieve a specific design by using a variety of coding languages such as; ( HTML5, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, NodeJS ) as well as CMS platforms like WordPress, Shopify and others. The languages they utilize depend on a) the types of tasks the site has to be able to perform,, and b) the platform they are using to design the site. For instance WordPress uses PHP, while Shopify uses a code called Liquid, and so forth.
KOSMOS Digital Solutions houses some of the world’s top programmers and is here to help should you have any questions or in need of service.
Difference Between Front-End and Back-End Development.
A front-end developer takes care of layout, design and interactivity using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. They take an idea from the drawing board and turn it into reality.
What you see and what you use, such as the visual aspect of the website, the drop down menus and the text, are all brought together by the front-end developers, who write a series of programs to a) bind and structure the elements, b) make them look good, and c) add interactivity. These programs are utilized via browsers such as; Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Bing, etc..
The backend developer engineers what is going on behind the scenes. This is where the data is stored, and without this data, there would be no frontend. The backend of the web consists of the server that hosts the website, an application for running it and a database to contain the data.
The backend developer uses computer programs to ensure that the server, the application and the database run smoothly together. This type of process analyzes the company’s needs and provides efficient programming solutions. In order to accomplish these tasks, they use a variety of server-side languages, like PHP, Ruby, Python and Java.
