Web Development

Career Overview

Web development is a blanket term that can be used to cover all the people who plan, build, and manage a given website—which can include everyone from product and project managers to writers, designers, information architects, programmers, and database administrators. Web development professionals are charged with nothing less than conceiving, designing, building, programming, populating with content, branding, marketing, supporting, and managing websites.

The Web developer's is a 24/7 world. The Web developer contends with server migrations, download times, and site crashes in a virtual space driven by databases. The Web developer's Holy Grail is to optimize user experience to drive e-commerce sales, website-content subscription purchases, or online ad click-throughs (or whatever else is the primary strategic goal of a specific website).

Web developers typically work either as part of an in-house staff, professional service, consulting organization, or on a contract basis. At smaller organizations, the Web developer will wear a variety of hats; at a larger organization, his or her role will be better defined.
