Web development transforms your vision for a website into a functioning product. Whether you have a website that needs maintenance or you want to create a website from the ground up, hiring a web developer lays the foundation for a value-driving product.
Web development teams follow different development processes like Agile or Waterfall and specialize in various development languages and content management systems (CMS). So, choosing the best web development company depends on the technologies you need.
We suggest focusing on website performance since it plays an important role in how search engines rank web pages. Make sure to ask web development agencies about their familiarity with optimizing for page speed.

Yes; you should hire a web developer. Unless you have the expertise in-house or can do the development yourself, most businesses find that hiring a web development company is the best course of action for building a website.
A web developer or website development firm has relevant experience across many different disciplines related to building a website. These capabilities include understanding and executing different website platforms and development languages and researching what works and what does not, as it relates to their customers' needs.
What Is the Best Language for Web Development?
Choosing the best web development language depends on what kind of site you’re trying to build and the functionality you want it to have. While there is no one best language, there are several web development languages available, including:
HTML
JavaScript
Python
C++
PHP
Ruby
HTML
HTML is a markup language that helps define how a web page is structured. It's a good fundamental to learn as you get into true programming languages.
JavaScript
Most web developers are familiar with JavaScript, as it is the most popular language for web development. JavaScript is critical for front-end web development and is used by the most popular social media websites today, including YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Python
With a syntax that is clear and intuitive, Python is a very user-friendly programming language. Python works with the open-source Django framework used in back-end web development.
C++
One of the oldest programming languages today, C++ has a large support community and a significant number of libraries that can provide additional functions. It's a very concise language, making it one of the more popular languages today.
PHP
A scripting language used primarily for the server-side of websites and apps, PHP is a popular language because it allows developers to add functionality by writing plug-ins or extensions in C. PHP can also be efficiently integrated into HTML and is ideal for beginner programmers to learn.
Ruby
An object-oriented language used as the basis for Ruby on Rails, Ruby features a friendly and helpful user community. Many consider Ruby an excellent web development language to learn because it's the foundation for many tech companies' websites, including Shopify and Airbnb.
No matter which language you choose for your web development project, one or more of the above can deliver what you need.
