Frontend Web Development

As a core discipline within web development, frontend web development is the practice of creating the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a website or web application that a user directly sees and interacts with in their browser. Often called "client-side development," it involves translating design concepts into reality using the fundamental technologies of HTML for structure, CSS for styling and layout, and JavaScript for interactivity and dynamic functionality. To build complex, scalable, and maintainable applications, frontend developers frequently employ frameworks and libraries like React, Angular, or Vue.js, which provide pre-written code and structures to streamline the creation of responsive and engaging digital experiences.
