In today’s digital age, web development plays a crucial role in shaping our online experiences. From the interactive websites we browse to the complex web applications we rely on, skilled web developers bring these virtual worlds to life.

They utilise HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to structure and style web content, ensuring seamless interaction with users. They bring designs to life, implementing responsive layouts and interactive elements. With the help of frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js, front-end developers create dynamic and engaging websites and web applications.

Technologies and tools: At the core of front-end development are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript— the foundational trio of web technologies. They provide the building blocks for structuring web content, styling elements, and adding interactivity. Additionally, front-end developers leverage frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js to enhance efficiency and streamline development processes.
