Web Development refers to the building and maintenance of websites. It involves the tasks of planning, designing, coding, modifying, improving, and expanding a website.
Web Developers use various languages, technologies, and coding frameworks to create a website that is both functional and visually pleasing. Web developers might utilize HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and other coding languages to create a website. They must also understand the technology and design elements that work together to render a website on the web.
The web development process often begins with the identification of customer needs and/or desired features. These requirements are then translated into technical specifications and mapping out the structure of the website. The development phase consists of coding the website according to the design structure and deploying it on a web server.
Various tools are used at various stages of development, including coding editors, bug-tracking tools, source-code management software, debugging tools, code repositories, and content management systems. When all the coding and testing is complete, the website may be launched and made available for other users and customers.
