Web Developers typically fall into three primary categories: ● Front-End Developer: These developers focus on the "client-side" of web development, dealing with things that users directly interact with, such as site layout, design, and user interfaces. ● Back-End Developer: Back-End Developers concentrate on the "server-side" of web development, dealing with the functionality of a website, which includes databases, servers, networks, hosting, and other technical aspects. ● Full-Stack Developer: Full-Stack Developers are proficient in both front-end and back-end development. They work on all aspects of a website, which is why they need knowledge of both client-side and server-side technologies. Next Stage: Essential Programming Languages No matter your focus area, you can’t skip mastering coding and understanding various programming languages. Three main families of programming languages serve as fundamental tools for web development: ● HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

  4. ● CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) ● JavaScript Grasp the Basics of UX Design Many newcomers to web development often mix up UI and UX.

User flows illustrate how users will navigate through a design, aiding in prioritising key sections and ensuring accessibility. Get Acquainted with UI Design UI (user interface) design is a significant aspect of web development services. A user interface is essentially a tool that activates a piece of technology. For instance, a doorknob serves as a user

Just as physical buttons allow interaction with machines, UI elements on a website enable users to initiate actions. Apply Your Knowledge and Create While tutorials, blog posts, and free web design courses are valuable for learning web design theory, the only way to truly become a web designer is to start designing websites. That’s probably one of the first things employers at a web development company are going to ask you. Begin with a straightforward project. Perhaps a friend needs assistance with building a portfolio, or someone you know has a side business lacking an online presence. Offer to design a website for them free of charge. Creating a blog is another excellent beginner project. This will allow you to gain hands-on design experience with tools like a content management system (CMS) and showcase your writing abilities. Designing a website for a fictional company or business is another enjoyable creative exercise to hone your design skills. Additionally, you can add these projects to your portfolio.
