This is suitable for platforms needing extensive data operations and dynamic content generation. Firebase provides real-time database functionality which enables dynamic data synchronization for applications and stands out as a perfect solution for applications that require immediate data feed.

How to Choose the Right Custom Web Design Company

1. Portfolio: Review case studies of the web design agency or the team which is going to work on your website and build it. What websites have they worked on before you? When you visit the portfolio websites, do you find it aligned with the website of your thoughts? Is the website fast and secure enough?

2. Tech Expertise: Are the tech expertise compatible with your requirements? If not, you probably need to ask them for a portfolio for websites which were created with the technology or tech stack you want or the one that will fulfil your needs.

3. Support: The team should be able to support your website maintenance requirements. Server issues, updates, and new change requirements ask maintenance support. Agencies with a good reputation offer excellent support for their services and websites through AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract). Look out for it and keep your websites fresh.
