Overview
The Front-End Web Developer Profession
A front-end developer uses a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build everything a user sees andinteracts with on a website—that includes everything from front-end features like fonts, sliders, drop-downmenus, and buttons, to the overall manner in which web content like photos, videos, and articles are displayedin your web browser. Front-end developer skills are often thought of in three levels depending on theirexperience. Developers start at the junior phase for the first few years, although the number of apps they’vedeveloped, and the apps’ complexity are far more important when you determine the right developer for yourproject. After working alongside more experienced developers, they move to the intermediate phase where they can work on more projects independently. A senior developer can not only code a project, but they canalso make decisions about how to design products.
