Web development is the process of making, building and keeping websites and web apps. It involves various skills such as web design, coding, programming, database management and web server administration. Web developers use programming languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to make websites and web apps.

In this article, we will explain what web development is, how it works and what kinds of web developers there are.

What is web development?
Web development is the work involved in making a website for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). A website is a collection of web pages that are available on the internet, such as:

• The SAND IT SOLUTION website
• A closed, private network, such as your company or school intranet website

A web app is a software package that runs on a web server and is accessed through the internet. This is different from a traditional app that runs on your computer, tablet or phone. A web app can do various things, such as:

• An online store that sells products or services
• A social network that connects people and lets them share content
• A game that users can play online with others

Web development can range from making a simple single static page of plain text to complex web apps, electronic businesses and social network services.

How does web development work?
Web development can be split into two main parts: front-end development and back-end development.

Front-end development
Front-end development is the part of web development that deals with the user interface of a website or web app. It is also called the client-side of the app, because it runs on the user’s browser.

Front-end developers make everything you see and use on a web page, such as:

• Colors
• Layout
• Navigation
• Buttons
• Forms
• Images
• Animations

Front-end developers use programming languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to make the structure, style and behavior of a web page. They also use tools like Bootstrap, React and Angular to make their work easier and faster.

Back-end development
Back-end development is the part of web development that deals with the data storage and processing of a website or web app. It is also called the server-side of the app, because it runs on the web server.

Back-end developers make the logic and functionality of a website or web app, such as:

• Database operations
• User authentication
• Data validation
• Security
• Performance

Back-end developers use programming languages like PHP, Java or Python to write code that talks to the database and does commands. They also use tools like MySQL, MongoDB and Firebase to store and manage data.

What kinds of web developers are there?
There are three types of web developers: front-end developers, back-end developers and full-stack developers.

• Front-end developers are in charge of making the user interface of a website or web app. They use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to design and code the front-end of a website or web app.
• Back-end developers are in charge of making the data storage and processing of a website or web app. They use PHP, Java or Python to write code that talks to the database and does commands.
• Full-stack developers are in charge of making both the front-end and back-end of a website or web app. They use both front-end and back-end programming languages and tools to make websites and web apps.

Conclusion
Web development is the process of making, building and keeping websites and web apps. It involves various skills such as web design, coding, programming, database management and web server administration.

Web development can be split into two main parts: front-end development and back-end development. Front-end development deals with the user interface of a website or web app. Back-end development deals with the data storage and processing of a website or web app.

There are three types of web developers: front-end developers, back-end developers and full-stack developers. They use different programming languages and tools to make websites and web apps.
