What is Web Development?
Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites. It includes everything from simple text pages to complex web applications, e-commerce stores, and dynamic portals. In simpler terms, it’s the work behind the scenes that powers everything you see and interact with on a website.
Web development is typically divided into two main parts:
-
Front-end (client-side): This is what users see and interact with—design, layout, animations, buttons, menus, etc. It's built using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
-
Back-end (server-side): This is what you don’t see. It’s the engine that powers the site, handles databases, servers, user requests, and ensures everything works smoothly.
