Web development
is a broad term for the work involved in developing
a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network)
. This can include web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side
scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development.
However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design
aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range
from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex
web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
For larger businesses and organizations, web development teams can consist of hundreds
of people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent
or contracting webmaster, or secondary assignment to related job positions such
as a graphic designer and/or Information systems technician. Web development may
be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated
department.
