What Is Web Development? A Beginner-Friendly Guide for 2025

By Arnold Tarimo | T20 Classic Tech

🌍 What Exactly Is Web Development?

Have you ever wondered how websites like Google, Instagram, or even your favorite blog are made? The answer is simple: Web Development.

Web development is the process of building websites and web applications that run on the internet. Whether it’s a personal blog, an online store, or a game you play in your browser — it was all created by a web developer.

🧱 The 3 Main Parts of Web Development

1. 🔸 Frontend (What you see)

This is what you see when you open a website. It includes buttons, images, menus, colors — everything visible.

Technologies used:
- HTML – Builds the structure
- CSS – Adds design
- JavaScript – Makes things move and respond

📝 Example: When you click a “Read More” button and a post expands — that’s JavaScript!

2. 🔹 Backend (What happens behind the scenes)

This is the part users don’t see. It handles the logic, database, and servers.

Technologies used:
- PHP, Python, Node.js
- MySQL, MongoDB
- Apache, Nginx

📝 Example: When you log in to Facebook and it checks your password — that’s the backend working.

3. 🔄 Full-Stack Development

A full-stack developer does both frontend and backend — meaning they build the full website from start to finish.

They know how to:

Create the layout
Make it look good
Connect it to a database
Make it go live on the internet
