JavaScript is like the roots of a jungle, connecting everything to everything else and holding it all together. JSized takes care of all your JavaScripting needs, defining and coordinating the JavaScript architectural strategy for your entire website or web application project.
A New Method of Development
JavaScript is often under appreciated as just an add-on gimmick or a cool effect, but in reality it's so much more. It directly manipulates the Document Object Model (DOM) which is the heart and soul of everything you interact with on the web. JavaScript is the tree that branches out across platforms and browsers to control your websites and web applications. With the advent of AJAX, it's a huge part what made Web 2.0 such a universal success. There are a lot of good reasons companies like Google and Yahoo utilize JavaScript as the core technology for building their applications - shouldn't you use it too?
In fact, JavaScript is so important to the overall success of your project that we develop it before the HTML and CSS as part of our standard architectural programming strategy. Most web development agencies leave it for last, adding it on like an afterthought, but we know how critical it is to the quality of the customer experience and we believe that should come first. This gives us several developmental advantages, including the ability to clearly define all user interactions from the beginning and eliminating any possiblitlity of missing functionalities.
But it isn't easy constructing a project this way, which is why we have the best-of-the-best on our teams. They have the ability to define the entire JavaScript strategy for your project and have mastered pure JavaScript, and know which tools and libraries, like JQuery and Prototype, to use in which situation. When you combine that with their experience and expertise, the result is a perfectly tailored solution to all your website or web application needs.
Taking Advantage
One of the biggest advantages JSized enjoys is a prioritization tool called Fragments. Fragments are a way of constructing your website from modular building blocks that interact with one another sequentially. They're used to deliberately stagger the loading of specific page content (HTML and images) in order to optimize the user's experience without sacrificing the site's performance. For instance; rather than forcing the visitor to wait until the entire page loads before showing them anything, the user will see whatever fragments you deem appropriate in descending order of priority.
Another big advantage are the reusable common libraries we build. Instead of writing new JavaScript from scratch for every project, every page and every element, we can write custom libraries and call upon them whenever we need them. Our motto is 'efficient, maintainable, expandable', and these common libraries fill the need perfectly. We only have to write them once but we can use them over and over again, saving us valuable time and resources. And when there's any maintenance or minor adjustments to be made we don't have to re-write dozens of different scripts, we just tweak a couple of lines of code from a couple of common libraries. It doesn't get any more elegant than that!
Lastly, JSized has built a priority Model-View-Controller framework that gives us our biggest advantage: easily maintainable performance. One look around the web these days and it's clear that many sites employ dynamic content, but this content is typically generated from a source separate from the site itself, usually a database or other information repository. This means the information requires extensive manipulation to get it from its source to the page, usually through some kind of back-end interface. The problem is that a front-end development team won't have access to real data until very late into the process, so they'll use 'dummy' information placeholders instead which can lead to small bugs and errors when it comes time to implementation. JSized solves this problem by designing a blueprint for how the content will be served, establishing an interim interface and letting the front-end team work with an exact match of the real data. When the time comes to hook in the back-end, it's as simple as plugging in the new data connection; no digging around in HTML, no wasted time, no miscommunication between front-end and back-end developers. Just a smooth and elegant process of project programming.
Planning for Tomorrow's Internet
The character of the web is becoming increasingly now and real-time, actively pushing information to users instead of passively waiting for it to be requested. A perfect example of this new attribute is Twitter. When one of your friends tweets a new tweet, your page doesn't wait for it to be reloaded before it shows it to you - it's pushed right now in real-time. We predict this push-now mentality will be one of the defining dimensions of Web 3.0, and we've been working toward it for well over a year. As we've looked forward to tomorrow's Internet we've designed a priority development process for 'Live Interfaces' that'll live up to and beyond your visitor's expectations for a pushed experience.
Optimized for Speed and Performance
JSized knows as well as you do that users don't like to wait around for pages to load. That's why we've built our propriety JavaScript library called Assets which ensures your site will be snappy and spontaneous. Assets is JSized's propriety method of minimizing your site assets, making your pages light-weight and fast-loading. It allows the best of both worlds: easy development and fine-tuned performance.
HTML, CSS, Flash-savvy and Cross-browser Compatible
Many of the most popular elements of any project behave differently depending on the browser they're loaded in, sometimes resulting in significantly degraded performance. But by working in tandem with the XHTMLized tribe, we can ensure your project will be ideally suited for optimum JavaScript development without sacrificing its performance across supported platforms and browsers. The wealth of JavaScript knowledge at JSized combined with the browser programming expertise of XHTMLized virtually guarantees the best user experience in the right browsers every time. And when you consider the possibilities of bringing FLASHized into the equation, with their impressive arsenal of sound, video and interactive effects, there's no user experience we can't bring to life in your project!
