FAQ

What does a front-end developer do?

Front-end developers create the visual and interactive elements users see when they visit a website or web application. Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, they build responsive, user-friendly experiences while working closely with back-end developers to bring websites and applications to life.

How is front-end development different than backend development?

While the front end is what users see and interact with, the back end powers the functionality behind the scenes. Back-end developers work with programming languages and frameworks to manage databases, servers, and application logic.
