Software Development
With over 30 years of experience in a wide variety of technologies, we know how to bring your vision to life.
At Potter PC Services, we classify our software projects into four broad categories, based on the skills required and the tools needed.
Front-end development is focused on the presentation of content to end users by web pages or applications developed based on designs or wireframes from tools such as Figma. Front-end projects can be anything from a simple landing page or splash page for your business, to a WordPress-based e-commerce site, all the way up to a large web app using external APIs or cloud services.
Back-end or server-side development is the implementation of business logic and systems. This can include APIs developed for B2B applications, enterprise storage systems, the backing layer for cloud-native applications, and much more. Back-end projects often have to work at a lower level, communicating with databases, identity management services, and other aspects of a large web application.
Full-stack development is a hybrid class that combines front-end and back-end using technologies that allow for seamless vertical integration. Many projects that start as front-end eventually require full-stack developers to grow and scale, and it's best to take this into account early in the development process.
Non-web development is the catch-all category for any Potter PC Services software consultation that is not directly tied to the web. This includes native development for desktop and mobile as well as strictly non-development services such as systems analysis, architecture consultation, and DevOps.
