Our comparative web development

Esokia takes care of the web development of your website. For relevant results, for a better management of each project, we have however chosen a fluid and efficient strategy. Our agency has indeed preferred to separate its teams of developers into two main categories:

• The one dedicated to the development of visible elements (Front End, i.e. all the elements that will be interpreted by the computer's browser in order to display a "visual" result);
•  The one dedicated to the development of elements running in the background (the Back End, which consists of setting up, configuring and maintaining the website's server and database).

The technologies mastered by our web development agency

Symfony : An open source PHP framework, Symfony runs on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, which separates the databases, the view displayed to the user and the business logic. This results in structured projects, which simplify and accelerate the development process.

A powerful toolbox, Symfony is the framework that responds fully and quickly to the needs of creating intranet, extranet, marketplace or SaaS service sites, in a secure, high-performance framework that is easy to install and use.

Laravel : This open source PHP framework runs on the MVC architecture and has a wide enough range of functionalities for rapid web development (useful if you want to create a website from scratch), structured and in line with your needs.

Whether you are a small or large company, this technology offers rapid development while simplifying redundant tasks such as authentication or online payments.

Node JS : this open source JavaScript development platform integrates an HTTP server. Neither framework nor library, it is an execution environment based on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and running on an event loop. This allows it to support high load increases and to work at an impressive speed.

Node JS is the right technology for your online payment system, social platform, streaming service, e-commerce platform, online publishing platform, e-learning platform and project management projects.

ASP Net Core : This open source version of ASP.NET runs on MacOS, Linux and Windows. First published in 2016, this technology is a redesign of previous versions of ASP.NET on Windows.

Esokia recommends ASP Net Core for its multi-platform aspect, its speed and performance for the creation of applications and web services, Internet of Things (IoT) applications and mobile backends.

Sitefinity : a content management system (CMS) to create, store, manage and present content on your website. With multilingual content and pages, it allows you to manage multiple sites with shared content.

Esokia will recommend the use of Sitefinity if your digital project consists of providing relevant and personalised content on the channels of your choice, without resorting to a complex infrastructure.

SiteCore : content management system (CMS) or web content management (WCM) platform, this technology has gradually become a customer experience platform (CXP). It enables companies to collect data about their customers, engage with users on a personal level and launch marketing campaigns across different channels.

Popular with major companies, the Sitecore CMS web platform is powerful, multi-channel and multi-channel: it brings together solutions for content management, digital experience management, digital marketing and e-commerce.

Drupal : An open source CMS, Drupal can be adapted to simple websites or complex web applications. It contains several thousand free modules and themes that allow you to reach your company's target audience.

Esokia recommends Drupal for rich web sites with high traffic in multi sites or multi domains, integrated with third party services (CRM, DAM, etc.), and whose content needs to be modified or updated very regularly (e-commerce, information, etc.).

WordPress : WordPress powers nearly a third of the world's websites. Far from being a simple tool to create blogs, this technology is actually equipped with many functions, themes and plug-ins compatible with browsers such as Chrome or Firefox as well as social networks. Powerful content management system, it allows you to create responsive websites.

Ideal for marketing teams, Esokia recommends WordPress for small and medium sized websites. This CMS allows fast development while being easy to use.
