What is website development? The basics that web developers need to know

Website development is a popular career in the era of Industry 4.0. Moreover, in the field of Algorithmics, children as young as 10 years old can create their own websites. What does the future hold for these young Algoers who have such early experience in website development?

What things do website developers do? 

Website developers are who create a completed website that provides interesting images, attractive interfaces, various features, and clear purposes that users are easy to use, understand, and access. In order to achieve this, website developers must have knowledge not only about coding but also about UX/UI design, content creation, and graphic design.

Web developers must be familiar with popular programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and more. Additionally, they should have knowledge about how UX/UI works, website operation, user interface design, deployment, and maintenance for users.

Having basic knowledge is not enough to become a website developer. It is essential to practice soft skills such as logical thinking, problem-solving, staying up-to-date with trends, and understanding user behavior.

The process to complete a website

To understand what website developers do, let's use the analogy of building a house. Just as building a house requires many steps, building a website also involves several stages. Let's follow the Algorithmics process to learn more."
