Whether web or app – Helm & Walter keeps you technologically up to date
Programs and applications often offer different views or access levels to the underlying data and functionality. At Helm & Walter, we specialize in the technical aspects of the backend of digital applications. As fullstack developers, we also offer extensive support for your frontend challenges. This ensures a perfect interplay between robust, stable backend systems and great user interfaces (UI) for your customers or employees.
Frontend Technologies
There are numerous ways to create a frontend for an application. In most cases, we rely on cross-platform technologies such as:
HTML (5) and CSS (3)
For applications and simple static pages to be displayed in a web browser, content and controls are defined using HTML and styled and positioned using CSS. Every browser interprets HTML and CSS slightly differently or offers special features.
To implement websites and projects in responsive design, separate display instructions must be defined in CSS for each relevant screen size.

Single-Page Applications (SPA) and Frameworks
Using scripting languages like JavaScript or TypeScript, websites and web applications can be created fully dynamically. That means the HTML of the site is not only modified but largely generated initially through scripts. The data to be displayed (e.g. lists of texts) is retrieved from a server and the actual page is built in the browser. Since no full page reloads or URL changes are required, such applications are called Single-Page Applications (SPA) – complex, dynamic web applications available under a single URL. These can also be delivered as independent cross-platform apps.
There are several libraries (frameworks) that help developers create SPAs and offer standardization. The basic approach is similar: for different program states, specific views are defined and composed of reusable components like menus, forms, or text blocks to build the user interface.

Backend Technologies
The backend, or server-side, is much more technical and often less tangible for clients and users. Nevertheless, Helm & Walter specializes particularly in solutions in this area. A solid backend forms the foundation for a stable and powerful IT solution. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to this part.
Backend technologies can be fundamentally divided into three major areas, each requiring special expertise:
1. Server Infrastructure and Operations
Web servers form the basis for many applications. Helm & Walter IT-Solutions specializes in implementing distributed systems, cloud services, and web applications (web apps). We primarily rely on a Linux-based cloud server infrastructure that offers maximum flexibility and reliability for us and our customers.
For the management, setup, and customization of these servers, we use a variety of state-of-the-art technologies. This allows us not only to secure the operation of your (web) server-based application but also to create flexible and realistic development and test environments. This, in turn, minimizes risks during later deployment.
We offer expertise in many other programming languages, frameworks, and technologies for your diverse development needs.

2. Databases and Data Foundation
In most use cases we handle at Helm and Walter, the collection, management, analysis, and presentation of data are at the forefront. It doesn't matter how extensive these data volumes are – we find powerful solutions even for large amounts of data.
Databases are typically used for storing and processing data. These store entries in tables that are sometimes strongly interconnected. Searches or analyses can then be performed on this data. A good and professionally designed structuring of your data forms the basis for a high-performance IT solution. We support you in finding, developing, and implementing such a solid data model.
We can also help you with NoSQL (Not only SQL) systems for extremely large database systems.
Of course, we also assist you in migrating your existing data to a new system.

3. Functions, Logic, and Interfaces
Software must run on a web server to receive, process, and respond to requests from clients (end devices such as PCs, mobile devices, or other servers). These programs can be created with different programming languages and technologies. At Helm and Walter, we primarily use Java, PHP, or Python for backend programming. PHP in particular has become the standard for such tasks. However, various base frameworks can be used.
Dev-Ops
The launch is just the beginning
From development to daily use – DevOps makes the difference.
An application isn't finished when it goes live – that's when the real test begins. Our DevOps expertise ensures that software runs reliably even under real-world conditions. We rely on active monitoring, automated deployments, proven tools, and experienced professionals to detect issues early and respond quickly. This guarantees smooth operations, continuous optimization, and high availability.
