Web Development

What is web development?

Web development is the creation of websites, web applications, and APIs, both on the front end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks such as Vue, React, or Svelte) and on the back end (PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, databases). Good web development encompasses architecture, code quality, testing, security best practices, performance, accessibility, and deployment processes. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we develop according to long-standing standards and documented processes, no experiments at the client’s expense, no frameworks for their own sake, and no code without a maintenance plan.
