front-end developer

Browser-side code writer

A front-end developer builds the parts of websites and applications that users see and interact with—the buttons, layouts, animations, and visual elements displayed in a browser.

They work primarily with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, translating designs into functional interfaces.

Distinguished from back-end developers, who handle servers and databases, and full-stack developers, who do both.
