The designers provide the skin but it’s the developers who provide the skeleton. Don’t be fooled by design shops that rely on software products to mass produce design driven frameworks. The result is usually a poorly performing, highly redundant code set that is next to impossible to maintain. A great web site must be architected with a solid foundation aimed to support the user experience first; otherwise, the sharp graphics quickly start to dull.
An architect starts with a blueprint called the visual site map. From there considerations are made for functionality, security and data. Like a professional athlete training for a personal best, the web site framework must be flexible and agile, but rock solid. Building that type of body requires you to select the right fuel to be used on the correct equipment. In the same manner, 5Nova architects identify the appropriate technologies before they begin to markup and code.
A well developed web site framework means there is a clear separation between the presentation layer and the functional layer. The result is a highly efficient code base which leverages the underlying technologies. It is data driven, but engineered for easy content management and data reuse. So your team will have no problem separating the management of digital assets and content without getting tangled up in development code. That is Web Brilliance.
