The Nuts and Bolts

You want your website to exude confidence and promote the competence and efficiency of your business. Strong content and site design are important, but so too is the ‘back end’ (the behind the scenes programming which makes everything work properly). Back end is as important as the ‘front end’ or design of the website because it’s about ensuring that the site works quickly, efficiently and securely.

Web development is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.

For larger organizations and businesses, web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting webmaster, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer and/or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department.
