FRONT-END WEBSITE DESIGNER OCCUPATION
Back-end developter and Front-end developer
A back-end developer writes code to implement server-side logic, databases, and APIs. A back-end designer (often called an information architect, systems architect, or database designer) maps out the conceptual structure of the database and the flow of information before any coding begins.
A Front-End Developer builds the user-facing parts of websites and applications (the "client-side"), design interactive, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript . They check on browser compatibility, accessibility, performance, and a seamless user experience in collaboration with designers and back-end developers.
Key duties involve preparing layouts, features (buttons, forms), optimizing for mobile, fixing bugs, and managing workflows.
Develop User Interfaces: create functional web pages and applications, the implementation of animation, images, for structure, styling, and interactivity.
Ensure Responsiveness & Accessibility: Make sites work across different devices (desktops, mobile) and meet accessibility standards.
Front-end designers, work closely with back-end designers, back-end developers, and project managers.
-They also find and fix bugs, ensuring code quality and cross-browser compatibility.
They Build: Clickable buttons, menus, forms, interactive elements, overall site layout and structure that users directly interact with.
The outlook for front-end developers is generally positive and growing, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projecting faster-than-average growth (around 7-9% by 2034) for web developers and digital designers, translating to thousands of yearly openings, driven by digital reliance and interface-based tech. While high demand persists, especially for adaptable skills, the market favors those who continuously learn new techniques and focus on strong, and clean websites.
This role can start by creating and charging small businesses for original websites. It is amazing to see the number of small businesses without a website. You will gain experience while keeping your job and acquiring new clients. Experience like its name says, means by doing, so the more your do, the experienced you will become.

The extra code programs you'll learn will help you to advance to back-end developer position which pays much more with a great employment growth potential.
