Launch of Our Innovative Website

As one of the innovative software development companies, we pride ourselves on being among the first to embrace new technology. Thus, we are excited to announce the launch of our upgraded website featuring innovative PWA technology.

A Progressive Web App, or PWA for short, is a popular choice for major enterprises like Aliexpress, Starbucks, and Twitter. However, here at Profstep, we are dedicated to sharing this technology beyond large enterprises, making it accessible to all who are interested. This dedication led us to implement PWAs within our own solutions, allowing us to experience their benefits firsthand.

We decided to embark on a comprehensive overhaul of our website, revamping its design, enhancing its SEO capabilities, and enriching the overall customer experience. Our efforts have resulted in a website that is accessible across all devices, can be downloaded as an app, and seamlessly integrates online functionality. While there are many more features to explore, let's take it one step at a time.

Interview with Developers: Exploring the New Website

After an extensive development period utilizing completely new technology, we conducted a short interview with some of the tireless developers behind the project.

 

🟩 Interviewer : What do you consider the standout feature of our new Profstep.com?

Alex : The most impressive aspect is undoubtedly the progressive technology with its extensive cross-platform capabilities. It feels like stepping into a new world filled with opportunities. Did you know that we could easily deploy it to the AppStore if needed? We wouldn't have to develop a separate app; we could simply add our PWA website to the store. While we're currently content with it being downloadable directly from our website, the option remains open for the future.

🟩 Interviewer : Great insights. I have one more question. What was the biggest challenge you faced during development?

Alex : Well, the cross-platform nature of this technology presented a significant challenge, to be honest. As the main designer, I was responsible for ensuring that the website's design seamlessly adapted to various devices while adhering to current trends and providing a quality user experience. Thankfully, Magento, our e-commerce platform, proved highly adaptable, making the task more manageable compared to other platforms.

🟩 Interviewer : Thank you for your answers.

 

🟩 Interviewer : What were you responsible for, and did you enjoy your work?

Valera : I worked on different parts of the development project, but my main task was creating a Blog section. And yeah, I enjoyed it. I focused on implementing a new original strategy, so we could showcase our website as one of the projects.

🟩 Interviewer : Interesting! Okay, then what exactly did you do to ensure the best customer experience?

Valera : PWAs work greatly with extensions and third-party tools, but we went even further and used the Astro platform to integrate with PWA. I could speak at length about all the technical details, but in short, we created a symbiosis, and PWA allowed us to not adhere strictly to the instruction guide and create an innovative approach.

🟩 Interviewer : Cool! Okay, thanks for your time.

 

🟩 Interviewer : Could you please share what task you spent the most time on?

Petro : As a full-stack developer, I focused on the inner workings of our website, which may not be visible to everyone but forms the foundation of the entire system. I was responsible for coding the website with an innovative approach that adheres to all modern trends in the coding world. This involved integrating new regulations, coding systems, security patches, following coding best practices, conducting rigorous testing, and improving functionality. All of these aspects operate behind the scenes but ultimately determine whether visitors see a high-quality modern website or encounter a 404 error page, for example.

🟩 Interviewer : Oh, I see. So, I suppose your biggest challenge was implementing Profstep's ideas into the code?

Petro : Yeah, you could say that. We spent considerable time in the planning stage to ensure we mapped out the coding correctly before diving into the work. As they say, measure seven times, cut once. But thanks to careful consideration in the initial stages, the actual coding process became much smoother with a clear direction and detailed plan in place.

🟩 Interviewer : How do you feel after finishing such a project?

Petro It's a mix of emotions, haha. I'm pleased with the outcome of our work, relieved that our efforts yielded such results, and grateful to have worked with such a fantastic team, making the experience as enjoyable as possible. I'm certain that we'll revisit the project from time to time to ensure that our website remains innovative and modern, keeping pace with the latest trends. And, we'll have the flexibility to scale our website if needed. Moreover, thanks to this experience, future PWA projects will be easier and faster to undertake. We'll leverage this new innovative approach to deliver even better results.

🟩 Interviewer : Great, thank you for your hard work.

 

So, overall, our new website is a significant event for our whole team. We've invested time, resources, and effort into it. To provide visitors of our website with the best experience, we aim to offer our customers the finest e-commerce solutions and to create an innovative website that aligns with all our high standards.
