What Is Web Development?

Web development is the work of building and maintaining websites and web applications, covering the visible front-end, the behind-the-scenes back-end, and databases.

Front-end development is what users see and interact with; back-end development is the server, database and logic that power it. Most projects need both.

Modern web development focuses on speed, mobile-first design, security and SEO — so a site doesn’t just look good but loads fast and gets found.
