Working with both businesses and agencies across the UK, we understand how important a role it is to create solid front-end templates for the sake of a polished, final web product or site. We appreciate it’s not always easy to handle multiple front-end page conversions, especially those that also need to integrate with back-end frameworks. At J B Cole, we create front-end code with our users in mind – so we follow best practice, creating W3C-compliant code wherever possible (thanks, IE8!), as well as including strong HTML semantics so that screen-readers can more easily read the content for users with accessibility requirements.

Our frontend stack is HTML5, CSS3 (usually using the Bootstrap framework), JavaScript (usually AngularJS and jQuery). We create all our PSD to frontend templates with a responsive / one-web philosophy at the core.

As we know, users are now accessing information on the move from all manner of devices, so we create responsive templates as standard so that the most relevant information is displayed according to the screen size of the device. This in turn allows the layout to change and adapt when the site is accessed from a smart-phone or tablet device to avoid unnecessary panning, pinching and zooming to access resources.

All of this ensures that we deliver the best possible experience to the user regardless of their device, whether they hold it horizontally or vertically (for tablets and smartphones). We deliver the same content, functionality and brand engagement – but in the most useable format – all from the same URL.

We create frontend templates for implementation with the following platforms:
