What does a Web Developer do?
It builds everything you see when you access a website, from top to bottom of the page, it’s all code behind. Where usually the website design is planned by a UX designer and the content is done by some other team (depending on the purpose of the website), a news website for example has its content produced by a team of journalists.
Building a website is not simple, as there are several concerns that a web developer must have, such as adapting the website to mobile devices, planning the structure of the tags so that google can “read” the website correctly to rank it in its search, worrying about the site loading speed, among other things.
