Back-End vs. Front-End Development: Understanding the Key Differences

In web development, there are two sides to every website: front-end and back-end. Here’s a simple breakdown:

  • Front-End Development: This is everything you see on a website—the layout, colors, fonts, buttons, and more. Front-end developers use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the user experience (UX) part of the website.
  • Back-End Development: This is the “behind-the-scenes” work that makes a website function. Back-end developers work with databases, servers, and application logic. They ensure data is stored securely and that everything runs smoothly.

Both roles are essential. The front end handles how a site looks and feels, while the back end manages data and functionality.
