Website Development

Web development encompasses the tasks involved in creating websites for the Internet (World Wide Web) or a private network (intranet). It can range from developing a simple static page of plain text to complex web-based applications, electronic businesses, and social networking services. Key tasks in web development include web engineering, web design, web content development, client-side and server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. Among professionals, "web development" typically refers to the core non-design aspects of building websites, such as writing markup and coding. Content management systems (CMS) are often used in web development to facilitate easier content updates, even for those with basic technical skills.
