or web applications.

There are generally 3 types of Web Developers:

(registration form, search bar, pictures, graphics, text, etc). They generally work close to
web designers to transform the website design into an actual beautiful and usable
website.
2. Back-end: These developers work a lot with everything about a website that happens
behind the scene. They work with databases, manipulating information that in the
database (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

kind of do the two.
