What does a web developer do? How do I become one?

Web developers build and maintain websites. They shape the user interface, improve performance, and make sure content works across browsers and devices.

Types of web developers

Most developers focus on frontend, backend, or full-stack work. Frontend developers work closest to the visual interface, accessibility, responsiveness, and interaction quality.

Skills worth building

Start with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive layouts, version control, debugging, and the fundamentals of how browsers render pages.
