Why Partner with Sitefinity Certified Developers

So first, what makes a developer “Sitefinity Certified”?  So, some web development companies may claim they are Sitefinity developers because they built a few websites on the platform. 

And although experience is necessary, to become a Sitefinity Certified Developer you need to take certification courses and an exam from Progress. 

Now, there are two types of developer courses and certifications available. 

The first course that a developer would take is the Foundations of Sitefinity Development, now this would prepare them for the Sitefinity Certification exam. 

Now developers with an advanced certification study course material that covers much more complex development practices and they also have to pass an advanced certification exam. 

Now, let’s get back to why it is important for you to work with a Sitefinity Partner that has these developer certifications. 

Now the first thing is it is important because website platforms are different, and the development framework can be different too.  So, hiring a developer who doesn’t understand your content management system and the development framework that it's built on is kind of like hiring a plumber to fix your electrical issues.  

Now working with a web development company that has developers who are Sitefinity Certified can truly make the difference between a poor website implementation and a successful one. 

These certified developers understand all the features of Sitefinity, so they know how to do things like extend your website’s capabilities by integrating with other business systems and tools and also how to customize the built-in functionality of your CMS.
