]]>When creating a website, the web developer is the one who is responsible for building its structure. It is important that the developer relies on the specifications in order to properly meet the customer’s needs. The various languages (for example: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP), must also be well mastered, because he also has to work on the coding and on the programming of the site. Throughout the site creation process, technical testing should be done to make sure everything is working as it should.
Once the project is completed and delivered to the client, the web developer remains available to ensure the resolution of bugs and to offer technical support to the client.
Developing a website is complex. Thus, web developers can focus on a more specific side of the website. There are 3 concentrations: front-end, back-end and full stack. Frequently, on a job offer, the concentration desired by the employer is specified.
The front-end web developer takes care of the user interface: fonts, colors, menus, buttons, etc. After the graphic designer has taken care of the visualization of the site, the Front-End developer brings it to life, using languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. He’s the one in charge of the user experience.
The back-end developer makes the front-end possible. He takes care of everything behind the interface, including 3 essential elements: the server, the database and the application. It ensures communication between these components to enable the front-end display. Languages often used by the back-end developer are Python, SQL, and PHP.
Ultimately, the full stack developer is the versatile one. He works both front-end and back-end, taking care of the entire user experience.
To be a web developer, you have to be autonomous and self-taught. It is important to stay on top of technological advancements and trends in order to produce up-to-date sites. It is common for web developers to learn and improve on their own (with the help of the Internet).
In addition to being autonomous, it takes a good sense of organization and a good sense of responsibility to successfully complete projects. Web developers often have several projects at the same time: good management is therefore important. Also, they must be attentive to customers in order to clearly identify their needs.
It also takes a lot of patience and perseverance, as bugs can arise! It sometimes takes a lot of trial and error, often over coding, to get the desired result.
To become a web developer, some take college training in computer science or multimedia integration. Others go to college, in order to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science.
