The rate of dissatisfaction over the intransigent website provided by web development companies to government, organizations and businesses, not meeting their routine operational demands has increased in recent time. In this light, we explore the modern web development frameworks and productivity tools by considering the distinctions amongst the types of web applications and the different tools that are used for building website which have posed serious problems, confusions and debates amongst developers and their clients. We equally examined the features of the different types of the website and the tools that would enable organizations determine the type of web app they need and the corresponding tools most effective for actualizing the overall goal of the business. Finally, we compared the web frameworks to enable clients decide the tools appropriate for their type of businesses websites that would reduce the cost of building and maintaining the website, enhance performance and productivity that would stand the taste of time.
