What is a Front End?

Front end developers work to improve any elements that users experience directly. These can be a website’s layout, responsiveness, and navigation.

While back end developers manage databases, improve security, and debug websites behind the scenes, front end developers focus on a site’s visual experience. They might implement specific functionality, such as contact forms or payment gateways. The front end could also need a redesign with more accessible features and an aesthetic color palette.

Front end development is often the key to maximizing user experience, reducing bounce rates, and gaining repeat visits. If a website has a high-quality front end, it contains easy-to-use features while focusing on visual design.
