Front-end

Front-end development is the process of creating the visual and interactive aspects of the parts of a website that users see and interact with directly. It includes everything from the layout and design of the website to its buttons, forms and navigation menus. With front-end development, coding, creativity and user experience (UX) design are combined to make websites not only functional but also visually appealing.

If you've ever clicked on a website or even browsed an online store, you've experienced the work of a front-end developer!

Core Components of Front-End

We can consider front-end development in 3 basic technologies:

1. HTML (HyperText Markup Language)

2. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

3. JavaScript

These three core technologies enable you to click a button or navigate a web page, but front-end development is the detail that powers these actions.

Frameworks and Libraries

To make coding easier, front-end developers also make use of some frameworks and libraries. Tools like React, Angular and Vue.js make development more efficient as they maintain a consistent design across web applications.
