Creating a website consists of two main steps: website development and website design. But it can also entail website programming, website publishing, and database management.
Web development refers to the functionality of a website, while web design describes the look of a website. Both are equally important skills when it comes to building a website. You can have the best-looking website that is perfectly curated for your brand, but if it doesn’t function properly, it’s not going to be successful. And vice versa.
There are a few different types of website development, but the most common types are front-end development and back-end development. This refers to what a user sees on the website, and what a user doesn’t see.
Front-end development is what the user will see and interact with on the website. This typically involves website design and includes the website’s colors, layout, fonts, and images. If you’re a front-end developer, that means you're responsible for having a website look and feel a certain way. Front-end development involves using tools like Photoshop and Illustrator to create the website design. A front-end developer will also need to understand various programming languages, or coding languages, like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Understanding these programming languages is crucial so that a user can actually interact with the website with buttons and navigation menus.
Back-end development is what the user doesn’t see with the website. Back-end development is focused more on how the website works, rather than how it looks. This can include user authentication, network and hosting configuration, database interaction, and anything else that goes on behind the scenes of a website. A back-end developer is responsible for making sure everything is running smoothly within the website. For example, if people upload their information onto a website, a back-end developer is responsible for compiling and analyzing that data. A back-end developer needs to be familiar with server-side languages, like Ruby, .Net, and Python. Another type of website development is full-stack development. Full-stack developers can do both front-end and back-end development. A full-stack developer must be knowledgeable of both programming languages and server-side languages and needs to be able to handle all aspects of website development. Because hiring one person to the job is obviously much easier than hiring two people, many businesses prefer to hire full-stack developers. However, it’s a very in-demand job in the tech industry.
