Development

Development refers to anything involved in creating a Web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet. Online web creation can range from creating a basic static website of plain text to creating sophisticated web apps, electronic companies, and social networking sites.

As Web professionals, we use the tag “development” to describe the key non-design elements of creating Web sites: writing markup and coding. Content management systems (CMS), as you’ll see can be used in web creation to make content updates faster and more accessible to those with only basic technical skills.

Web architecture, Web design, Web content creation, client liaison, client-side/user-side scripting, Web server, and network security configuration, and e-commerce development are some of the more general elements we associate with Web development.

Smaller businesses can only need a single permanent or contract creator, or a secondary assignment to similar roles like graphic designer or information technology technician.

Web development teams for larger companies and enterprises will number in the hundreds (Web developers). They often use common approaches such as Agile methodologies to create Web pages.

Front-end developers, back-end developers, and full-stack developers are the three types of Web developers and services we’ll detail in this area.

Among the main points discussed under this tag include:
• Web design / graphic design
• responsiveness on mobile
• With Web usability, accessibility, and SEO in mind, structure and copywriting/copyediting
