Website Development

Web development has advanced rapidly with the spread of online retailing. Now more than ever, companies are using the internet for advertising and buying and selling products. The rise of social media also contributed to the growth in website development. There are tools available to help developers build more interactive and intuitive websites. Resources are further decentralized through the growth of cloud computing, allowing users to interact from remote workstations. Website development has changed the way companies do business.

Website development has many aspects. First, code needs to be written. Code for a website can be for the front-end or back-end, the first being client-side, and second, server-side. This process is also called “scripting.” Network security is also a big issue with web development. After the code is written, security measures are put in place to keep the website secure. When the secure foundation is built, e-commerce sites and online stores can be set up, often through the use of a Content Management System (CMS).
