FAQs

Front-end web developers create what users see when they enter a website or use a web application. For web applications, the presentation layer – or “front-end” – is created with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These technologies largely run the user-facing aspects of a web application.

While the front-end is what the user sees, the backend or “logic layer” contains any special functions the app may perform. Backend development centers around a programming language such as Python or a library of pre-made components like Flask.
