Single-page application development
A single-page application (SPA) provides app users with a more flexible and desktop-like experience and fantastic performance. Businesses turn to SPAs because the technology allows developing a smoother UX that hides the structural complexities of web applications perfectly.
Do you need help in developing a single-page application for your company? We have ample experience in web development projects that use SPA at the core technology. Our teams know what it takes to build SPAs that take your business to the next level
What is a single-page application (SPA)?
It’s enough to see some examples of single-page applications to know what this technology is all about. Jira, Facebook, Netflix, and Gmail are all SPAs. In a single-page application, users download the heavy base of the application only once, at the start. And then there are all of the other application elements that change and are downloaded only when necessary – for example, a movie in your video streaming platform or an email in the inbox.
That’s why SPAs offer such great performance. After the initial load time, everything works fast and smooth thanks to minimizing data transfer. Every single-page application is made of the frontend and backend layer. Some of the most popular technologies for building SPAs are JavaScript frameworks for the frontend (React.js, Angular.js, and Vue.js), and backend technologies such as Node.js, Python, or Ruby on Rails
SPA vs. MPA – what is the main difference?
If you’ve heard about single-page applications, you are probably also aware of multi-page applications (MPAs). Naturally, SPAs and MPAs occupy their respective places on the tech landscape and are not competing in any way. However, knowing the key differences between them will help you choose the best technology for your project.
In multi-page applications, the frontend and backend layers of the app are located in the same place. For example, if a user adds an item to the shopping cart and presses the back button, the MPA might lose all of the data. This provides a poor user experience.
In single-page applications, the frontend and backend are kept separately. This opens the doors to many different possibilities for designing user interactions. Consider Facebook as an example. Users don’t have to reload the page every time they like a post or add a comment. Just imagine if they had to wait for the entire interface to reload every time they do that.
Benefits of single-page applications
High performance
Since SPAs refresh only a small amount of data, resources such as HTML, CSS, and Javascript are loaded only once. This makes the application smooth throughout its lifecycle, and users get to enjoy a lightning-fast load time
Separation of data and UI layers
Since the frontend and backend layers are kept separately, development teams find them easier to build, test, and deploy. This helps to speed up the process of building a solution and increases the team's productivity
Outstanding UI
SPAs allow designers to create an attractive and visually appealing design. This makes the applications instantly more attractive and engages users to boost the conversion rate and increase loyalty
Powerful simplicity
Simple layout and easy navigation are two defining features of single-page applications. Developers can also transition SPAs into mobile apps by reusing the backend code easily and accelerating the development process
