Crafting A Website

 

Generally, website development Brisbane refers to the tasks associated in the development of websites for hosting in the Internet. This development process includes web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting and network security configuration, among other tasks.

 

In a wider context, website development encompasses all the actions, updates, and operations required to build, maintain and manage a website to ensure its performance, user experience, and speed are optimal.

 

This process of creating and maintaining a website are usually referred to as website development while the professionals that maintain websites are called web developers.

 

Technical view

 

Website development is the actual coding (or programming) that enables website functionality, per the owner's requirements. This deals mainly with the non-design aspect of building websites (consisting of coding and writing markup).

 

The process ranges from creating plain text pages to complex web-based applications, social network applications and electronic business applications.

 

Creation

 

Website development, also refers to the tasks associated with creating, building, and maintaining websites and web applications that run online on a browser. Sometimes, it includes web design, web programming, and database management.

 

It is closely related to the job of designing the features and functionality of apps (web design). The term development is usually reserved for the actual construction of these things (the programming of sites and apps).

 

The languages

 

Currently, developers use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript to develop websites.

 

Defining the basic framework of a website is the HTML, the main foundation for most everything else. It creates the blocks that define a page’s layout, format, and critical components.

 

CSS

 

Theoretically, it is possible to code a website on HTML only. However, it would to be enriched with CSS and JavaScript. Also, even simple style modifications such as changing the color of a button require a lot of coding to be executed using HTML only.

 

CSS is utilized to style the content of a website using a small set of files that are kept across the entire site. Whenever a change must be applied (for instance, consistently change the color of all the buttons found in every page of the website), the developer needs only to edit only a single file in CSS.

 

JavaScript

 

This programming language is used to take care of the interactivity of many unique website elements.

 

Used to create effects that alter the appearance of icons and drop-down menus, add animations, games, and other interactive elements, this language is another versatile piece of digital marvel.

 

A number of content management systems (CMS) fall into this category, The other languages include WordPress, Joomla! Drupal, TYPO3, and Adobe Experience Manager, among others.

 

Types of development

 

Just as there are several types of development needed to create a whole website these types are also divided among developers to work on: the front-end, the back-end and full-stack.

 

The front-end development represents all the visual aspects of the website (layout, navigation bar, etc.), its interactivity, and binds together all its elements.

 

The back-end part is developed to take care of less visible tasks that ensure the website runs smoothly, such as managing the website’s hosting services, database, and applications. Additional server-side languages such as Python, Ruby, Java, and PHP are used here.

 

Full-stack developers are those that are able to handle managing both the front-end and back-end tasks at the same time.
