What is website development?

Fast and interactive feature-rich, secure web applications for your business to go live. Website development is a catch-all term for the work that goes into building a website. This includes everything from markup and coding to scripting, network configuration, and CMS development. While web development typically refers to web markup and coding, website development includes all related development tasks, such as client-side scripting, server-side scripting, server and network security configuration, eCommerce development, and content management system (CMS) development.

 

Why is web development important?

A well-designed website is essential for reaching a larger audience and generating more leads or customers. Using a website, you can collect and read testimonials about your products and services much more quickly and easily. Web development and design help to promote a company's brand name.

The Internet isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s become a portal and primary method of research, connection, education, and entertainment in the world. As of 2021, there were 4.66 billion global Internet user  — more than half the world’s population.

Given the rapidly-increasing number of Internet users, it’s no surprise that web development is a rapidly expanding industry. Between now and 2030, the employment of web developers is expected to  grow by 13%, much faster than most other technology careers.
