At their core, front end developers are problem solvers and designers. Their focus is on the user experience when using a web page or application. They are tasked with figuring out the best way to structure and lay out text, interactive elements, visuals, and more. They have a wide spectrum of skills, most of which focus on the user interface and, therefore, the design and architecture of the layout of a website or web application.
Front end developers use web design through coding languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Key responsibilities for front end developers include:
In order to create viable, functional, and appealing designs, front end developers use a combination of technologies and programming languages to bring an idea to life. Front end developers must also have a profound understanding of management systems like WordPress. The most commonly used technologies used by front end developers include:
HTML is, of course, the standard markup language used to create web pages, so it’s kind of a basic building block to other front-end frameworks. CSS and HTML are basic Front End programming languages that help add materials to a website and style them how you want.
JavaScript frameworks that help create interactive and fluid experiences and effects in web and mobile interfaces.
Server-side pre-processing CSS platforms. They extend the capabilities of CSS and make writing style-sheets easier.
JavaScript testing frameworks. They help test user interface components to make sure they are behaving as the developer wants.
JavaScript Library has a collection of plugins and extensions that makes writing JavaScript easier by providing the developer with ready-made elements.
