Web development is about designing a website for the Internet or intranet. It can range from simple, clear text static page development to complex web applications, e-business, and social media.
What are the types of web development?
Front-end web development
Front-end web development is responsible for the website appearance. This means how colors, type, icons, and images appear. Increasingly, front-end development has to account for how a website looks on all devices, from desktop to tablet to phone. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are typical programming languages included. Front-end developers keep up with cutting-edge trends in web design and development to make sure websites are optimized for users and search engines — and with security best practices in mind.
Back-end web development
Back-end web development is responsible for building and maintaining the code that runs a website. Typical programming languages include Java (different from JavaScript), PHP, and MySQL; newer tools are Python and Golang. Back-end web developers can keep up with changes in technology by participating in networking communities that share coding tips and support.
Full-stack web development
This covers both front-end and back-end. Depending on the complexity of the website, a full stack developer may be responsible for all aspects of its development, from the back end to the user interface. Full stack developers are often responsible for defining cutting edge technologies such as advanced programming languages (or even no-code or low-code trends) and blockchain that can be used to leverage the business capabilities of websites.
When users click on a website link, such as a “Signup” button for instance, they do not think about the code that takes them to a payment page. The role of web developers here is decisive. Web developers are responsible for creating the appearance of this button, as well as the logic of the website.
What makes Exeltive web developers successful?
Below are just a few of the skills.
- Programming abilities: strong coding skills. HTML/CSS/JS/ReactJS/NodeJS are just the beginning. As technology changes rapidly, the willingness to constantly learn new coding techniques is one of the strengths of our developers.
- Precision is in the details. It takes patience and analytical skills to understand what went wrong and how to fix it while testing and debugging your code.
- Creativity. Successful websites need to be attractive to users, retain them, and be visible to search engines. So our web developers get creative with how to combine user experience, SEO, and more when designing a really good website.
