Web developers\u00a0develop websites, specifically by creating the site\u2019s code, connecting it to a server and maintaining its accessibility to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Web development is responsible for creating the sites and applications we use through a web browser in our day-to-day lives. Web developers, often working in teams or alongside other tech professionals like\u00a0data scientists,\u00a0UX designers\u00a0and\u00a0product managers, use specialized techniques and a thorough knowledge of\u00a0one or more programming languages\u00a0to create a foundation for where the website\u2019s database will live, known as a back-end.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The back-end is dependent upon the website\u2019s server, which stores web pages and applications to be loaded into the web browser upon request. The server acts as an intermediary between the web page or application and the data stored within the server, facilitating communication between the database and the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Web developers are also responsible for creating the front-end of a website through the use of\u00a0HTML,\u00a0CSS\u00a0and\u00a0JavaScript, which creates the layout and style that the user sees and interacts with when using the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, web developers are responsible for maintaining the site’s functionality and overall performance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
