Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications that are accessible through the internet. It combines programming, design, and problem-solving skills to create digital experiences that are both functional and user-friendly.
It combines principles of engineering, technology, design, and business strategy to create products that meet customer needs while staying cost-effective, scalable, and competitive in the market. Unlike simple product design, product engineering focuses not only on the initial creation but also on performance, usability, reliability, and continuous improvement.
There are two main sides to web development: front-end and back-end. Front-end development focuses on what users see and interact with, such as layouts, buttons, animations, and overall design, using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
