Web Development

Web development is the process of creating and maintaining a website or web application.

This work can range from creating a simple static text page to complex web applications, social networking platforms, or e-commerce applications, and can include user interface design, backend programming (the “engine” of a website that handles complex functionality), search engine optimization, and security management.

The field of web development is typically divided into front-end development (which deals with what the user sees and interacts with, so essentially the user interface and user experience), back-end development (what is invisible, so server-side site functionality and data management), and full stack development (which encompasses both fronts).

As the Internet and related technologies have evolved, web development has become a crucial area for companies’ online presence and access to information, with an increasing emphasis on usability, accessibility, and responsive design practices.
