Web Development

Web developers build web sites. Web developers are at times artists doing interface designs and conceptualizing a project and they are also programmers or system administrators writing code and managing all the elements of a web site. Web developers are interdisciplinary in nature, meaning they must possess a combination of code skills as well as artistic and interface design skills, among other things.
