A web developer is a programmer who specializes in the development of web applications using a client-server model. They write lines of code using a coding language to create the functional aspects of a website based on a website design.
Developing websites and new applications. A web developer can help you design the architecture of a new application or website and determine the best coding language for your project. They can also integrate images, audio, and video assets into a website or application. Quality assurance testing and troubleshooting across different browsers and platforms is also a big part of a web developer's job.
Fixing bugs or other issues with existing websites and applications. They can audit the current application or website to find the source of the problem and fix it.
Use and adapt existing web applications for apps
-
Adding new features to live websites and applications. If you currently have a website or app that needs a facelift or feature enhancements, a web developer can help design, develop, and test new features.
Creating application program interfaces or APIs optimized for speed and agility.
Types of web developer
There are three kinds of web developers that you can hire depending on your needs including front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers.
This type of web developer writes the code needed to implement a website based on a website design created by the client, a design team, or a web designer. They employ programming languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to turn design ideas into lines of code that web browsers understand and translate into visual elements on a computer screen.
Front-end developers often work on client-side programming and add content to a website. They also implement the content style relative to color, size, and borders and can include interactive elements such as buttons.

On the other hand, a back-end developer is responsible for server-side programming. They create the code and programs needed to power a website's or an application's server and databases. They employ languages like PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, and JavaScript to build complex programs with clean and efficient code and create solutions that are secure, scalable, and easy to manage and maintain.
What does web developer do
Web developers work on the three main aspects of building a website - client-side programming, server-side programming, and database management.
Client-side programming involves creating programs that users interact with. Examples include generating dynamic content and creating interactive web tools such as wizards, price calculators, and other helpful resources.
Server-side programming involves bridging the webserver database to a user's web browser. A web developer writes the code that tells a web server what to do when a user performs a specific action.
Database programming involves the very technical back-end of most websites. A web developer can often be in charge of programming databases and determining how data is stored, sorted, or deleted.
