Benefits of Hiring a Full-Stack Development Company

Reaching out to customers via the digital space is a growing business trend - and for good reason. As more attention shifts from physical billboards to digital screens, businesses have started to recognize the need for custom online web portals that take care of marketing, impressionability, sales, general traffic and the like in order to increase revenue.

That being said, a great portion of businesses have trouble designing and setting up websites/applications and subsequently need to hire a full-stack development company with a dedicated team to assist them. It is a no-brainer as to why this is the case. Here, we’ll explore why.

What is Full-Stack Development?

Full stack development refers to the end-to-end development of web applications and/or websites, which includes both the front-end (which consists of the user actions, themes, UI & UX) and back-end (which includes the business logic, app workflows, databases, data transactions, libraries, frameworks, etc.). As you can see, while the front-end deals with the client-side of the application, the back-end deals with its server-side.

Now let’s discuss the specific benefits of hiring a full-stack development company.

Better Team Management

There are strong benefits to hiring a full-stack development firm over specific professionals for each stage of development. These include the tight-knit, small team size, better communication and leadership response, more effective collaboration, greater transparency and attentiveness to ideas formed in-group. Moreover, it is simpler to manage a full-stack development company over a group of individual full-stack developers. Members of such a team can easily switch between front-end and back-end development depending on the project’s needs while adhering to the right process flows and accountability procedures. Thus very little time and effort is wasted in achieving one’s product objectives.

Cost-Effectiveness

As full-stack developers are capable of performing the duties of both front-end and back-end specialists, hiring them is overall a cost-saving move. A team of such developers, well-versed in different technologies and frameworks, can prove to save even more money as they eliminate the need for hiring multiple, individual resources for different tasks or jobs. A full-stack development company is an even more attractive option as their developer teams are trained to coordinate effectively with less waste incurred in time and money as a result.

Rapid Yet Comprehensive Development

As full-stack web developers have more comprehensive skillsets, they can handle and complete web development projects more efficiently. A team of such specialists under the coordinated umbrella of a firm usually make use of set plans with chunks of work assigned to each individual developer based on their availability, while also allowing for collaboration so that solutions can be achieved faster. They are also not tied down to simple web development but can view the entire design structure and work towards any objective or level as per need, concentrating on the root of the problem rather than just focussing on solutions. This is the reason why even though they have fewer fellow team members, full-stack developers offer faster and more efficient production times - an interesting proposition for those hiring on a more time-sensitive basis.

Up-To-Date, Multiple-Technology Expertise

Perhaps the most attractive highlight of full-stack developers is their ability to stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies, which further enable them to adapt to rapidly changing needs and trends of clients who need web development services. While individual developers keep a keen eyes on familiarizing with the latest libraries and frameworks, full-stack development firms train their developers to be competent in as wide a range of fields as possible - including but not limited to progressive web applications, blockchain technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence development. This wide breadth of knowledge has an interesting effect in that it produces developers who can spot and fix flaws, bugs and errors faster than other kinds of coders.

Connections, Market Insights & Knowledge-Sharing

The consequence of having many full-stack developers work together in the same company is that they naturally tend to share skills and knowledge, which in turn help them develop new competencies and provide better services to clients. These companies also interact with clients from a wide range of different industries, increasing their knowledge base and expertise.

Moreover, hiring local web development companies has two benefits: market-specific, trend-based insights and connections with other local firms. While the former helps them offer research-based recommendations to clients on how to make their websites more appealing to local customers, the latter helps them access various local resources (via networking) to help them develop websites, connect clients with partners, or build customer bases for their clients.

Support, Maintenance & Dependability

Full-stack web development companies maintain a long-standing relationship with their clients well after the release of their product. They offer a single point of contact with timely, round-the-clock and quick support for queries and issues, upgrade regularly based on latest tech advancements and app enhancements, address growing database needs and make sure to spot and fix flaws, errors and bugs so that the client is well-satisifed with the working of their web application or site. As a single development team builds the software program, they understand where and what modifications to make.

Final Thoughts

Full-stack developers can (given enough time and resources) individually and single-handedly develop both the front-end and back-end workflows. A full-stack software development company, on the other hand, offers full-cycle development based on the turnkey model. Such a company not only does what the individual developer can do but also analyzes the requirements, performs quality assurance and - most importantly - supports the project after it is released. Full-stack companies also have more access to resources such as databases, containers, hosting, web servers, etc. to build and develop web apps - thus making them excellent candidates for small and medium-sized businesses that seek to outsource the development of their online presence.
