Cutting down on web development time

Today some websites are so complicated that for many users they just take far too long to load, for some visitors this simply means pressing the back button, but for the website owner this means a lost visitor.

However, for many developers the pursuit for perfection this is a price that they are willing to pay. Yet the business owners cannot afford to miss out on any visitors as the one that presses the back button could be the one that is a buyer.

There are some options open to developers that can help, these are below:

Use frameworks
Use an Integrated Development Environment
Modularize
Debug front-end issues more effectively with browser tools
Code for reusability
Collaborate and track project status online
Automate code formatting and standardization
Invest time in requirements-gathering and planning phases
Use code that’s already written
Have less features
