What is Web Development? ▼

Overview

Web development is the work involved in developing websites for the Internet or an intranet. It can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services.

Web development typically refers to web coding and programming.

Core Technologies

  • HTML: Provides the structure and content of web pages
  • CSS: Handles the styling and layout of web pages
  • JavaScript: Adds interactivity and dynamic behavior

These three technologies form the foundation of front-end web development.
