Web Developer

A web developer implements websites, interfaces, and web applications. Depending on specialisation, she may work on browser-based frontend interfaces, backend logic and data, or both as a full-stack developer. Tasks may include architecture, programming, CMS customisation, databases, integrations, testing, deployment, performance, and maintenance.

The title alone does not describe a fixed qualification or complete service. A project requires experience with comparable needs, transparent architecture decisions, code quality, security, accessibility, documentation, and reliable communication. Objectives, responsibilities, technical constraints, acceptance, source code access, licences, hosting, maintenance, and response times should be agreed before commissioning.
