Back-End Development

When a customer submits a booking request, something may need to receive the details, check them, and store or forward the request. Back-end development covers the server-side logic and services that can perform those tasks. It may include databases, authentication, application programming interfaces, and connections to scheduling software. Not every small business website needs a custom back end; static sites can rely on carefully selected outside services for certain functions. A cleaning company's booking tool, for example, may run through a third-party provider rather than a custom-built database. Back-end and front-end development are connected, but they address different parts of how a website functions and protects information.
