Website Development - Web Design...

Jonathan Rigdon

Website development involves creating and maintaining websites. It encompasses various aspects such as web design, web programming, and database management. Web developers use languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the structure, style, and interactivity of websites. Additionally, they may work with server-side scripting languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby to handle dynamic content and databases. Understanding user experience (UX) and search engine optimization (SEO) are also crucial for creating successful websites.
