Aleks Apps is a company that specializes in application development. We build internet-based applications for the web. The applications are built using web-based programming languages. For example, we utilize HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL to build an e-commerce solution for a customer. The applications are for all the major device types. For example, we make e-commerce solutions for desktop and mobile devices. We set up all the network infrastructure for the e-commerce solutions. An e-commerce store is operated and housed through a web server. We take care of web hosting and domain name registration. A domain name is required for the site to be accessible through the internet.

User Interfaces

We design and code the front end of our e-commerce solutions. The front end refers to the graphical user interface (GUI). This is what the customer uses to control the application. The GUI is composed of the components like HTML layouts, buttons, and dropdown menus.

Application Logic

We design and code the back end of our e-commerce solutions. The back end includes the JavaScript and PHP classes that form the architecture of the application. The back end includes the API library classes and methods required for common programming tasks.

Application Testing

We perform the testing necessary to correct bugs and errors. We test our e-commerce solutions in all major browsers and across various device types. We perform unit tests to isolate the origin of problematic code.

Programming Languages

We code all aspects of the applications ourselves. The end product is a custom e-commerce store that the client has full ownership off. These web languages are what are used to create the computer code required to build the front and back end of the web application.

HTML5

HTML is used for all the components of the user interface. The structure of the web pages is coded in HTML. Lining up elements horizontally is achieved with HTML code. Lining up elements vertically is made possible with HTML. Grouping elements into rows and columns are achieved with HTML.

CSS3

This language is used for styling the web pages. All the colors are made with CSS. The spacing of element are handled by CSS. The sizing of elements is achieved with coding in CSS. This language is required to make the web pages responsive to different screen sizes.

JavaScript

This language enables the behavior of the application. Page transitions are achieved with JavaScript code. Button states are made possible with JavaScript functions. JavaScript can make it possible to hide and show different layouts depending on window size. Custom animations are achieved with JavaScript.

PHP

This language also takes care of application behaviors. Saving data to a relational database or file database is achieved with the help of PHP functions. PHP makes managing large applications easier by allowing you to make template headers, footers, and drop-down menus that can be reused across pages.

MySQL

This language is required to interact with the online relational database. The database resides on the web server. The e-commerce store (i.e., project folder) is also housed on the web server. Creating, reading, updating, and deleting information stored in tables is made possible with SQL queries. Customer, product, and order information are stored in records in database tables with the MySQL language
