Web Development
Web development is the discipline of writing the code that creates a website. On the client side, HTML provides the semantic structure of the content, CSS styles it and JavaScript allows behaviours to be added. On the server side, PHP (or other scripting language) connects to a database and serves up the appropriate content, including the HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Of course, there’s a lot more to it than that!
I started out as a web developer. Before I’d ever heard of content strategy, before WordPress was created, I was creating websites. Heck, I even went on a web development course before the term “search engine optimisation” was coined, way back in 1997. These days, I roll with HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery on the front end, PHP on the back end. Occasionally, I like to write about it.
