How can I optimize a web app for SEO?
The content you include on your web page plays a big part in search engine optimization. However, there are also technical aspects to consider, like the title attribute, alt attribute for images, subpages naming, domain and others.
A web application development company can assist with this by making your page speed faster, assigning proper title and meta tags and implementing a secure SSL certificate. Other ways to improve search ranking are using server-side rendering for single page apps and making use of Google Search Console.

How to prepare before partnering with a web development company?
1. Prepare a project description
Define your idea, either by supplying the documentation for an existing project or putting together a brief for a new idea.
2. Decide on a tech stack
Do you need both front-end and back-end services? What web technologies have you chosen to build your app with? Web development companies have experiences with multiple languages and frameworks, so they can help you with this. Nevertheless, it’s important to consider before starting a partnership.
3. Define your budget
The budget of your project will affect the team your web development company can put together, the project timeline and technologies used, among other things. Try to have a clear idea of how much you are allocating for your project. This will enable the development of a consistent project management strategy and avoid issues further on in the process.
How long does a web development project take to complete from start to finish?
That depends on the type and complexity of your project. Weeks 1-2 involve planning and organization. This is followed by the graphic design phase, which can take another two weeks.
Then there’s coding, development, testing, launch, and promotion/maintenance, so the process can be broken down into cycles, enabling you to keep track of the progress of your web application and manage the project timeline in more detail.
