What does a developer do?
Web developers will either specialise on the ‘front-end’ or ‘back-end’ of a website. The front-end of a website is everything the user sees. The back-end of the site refers to ‘server-side’ of the website, which is essentially everything that you don’t see as a user. Both are instrumental to having a properly functioning website. It may be that you need to hire developers to manage both of these: they are called ‘full-stack developers’.
A developer is responsible for ensuring that a business’ website functions effectively and has an user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing design. This will look different for every business. Once a website has been built, a developer will generally be responsible for maintaining the website. This involves tasks such as processing updates, fixing bugs, adding pages, and updating visual layouts as needed.
Depending on the needs of a company, a web developer will collaborate with other tech specialists such as web designers, software developers, UX designers and marketing professionals.
