Web development refers to the process of building and maintaining websites for the internet or an intranet. It encompasses a wide range of tasks, including web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting, and web server configuration
Before starting a web development project, it's essential to understand the client's needs, objectives, and target audience. This involves gathering requirements, conducting research, and creating a project plan.
Web design involves creating the visual layout, interface, and user experience (UI/UX) of a website. Design elements include layout, color scheme, typography, images, and multimedia content. Responsive design principles are often applied to ensure the website is accessible and user-friendly across different devices and screen sizes
Front-end development focuses on building the client-side components of a website that users interact with directly in a web browser. This includes HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) for content structure, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity and functionality.
Back-end development involves building the server-side components of a website that handle data processing, business logic, and database management. Common back-end technologies include server-side scripting languages like PHP
Many websites require databases to store and manage dynamic content, user data, and other information. Web developers integrate databases into web applications using technologies like SQL (Structured Query Language) for relational databases or NoSQL databases for non-relational data storage
