Web development, that son of a web developer

In the era of let’s-google-everything, either you are a freelancer aromatherapist with a taste for the occult, a very serious and very boring accountant with a taste for OCD or a multi-million, international company with a taste for outer space, you need a website. Period. And you need it to be attractive, user friendly and better than your competitors’.

You have probably visited a gazillion web pages over the years and they just don’t grow on trees, there is always a back office. Web developers built those sites, web designers designed them, making sure they functioned properly and performed in ways that allowed for a great user experience. Web Developers do this by writing lines of code, using a variety of programming languages, which vary, depending on the tasks they are performing and the platforms they are working on.

Guess what tho, web sites don’t need to be created from scratch, no need to re-invent the digital wheel. There are a number of platforms out there used to manage or facilitate the construction of websites. A number of content management systems (CMS) fall into this category, including WordPress on which Double Dot is actually an expert!

Breaking down web development

There are three main types of web development that can be involved in a web development project and we know all about them.

  • Front-end development involves the “client-facing” side of web development. That is to say usually, front-end web development refers to the portion of the site, web app, or digital product that users will see and interact with.

  • Back-end development refers to the basic framework of a website before maintaining it and ensuring it performs the way it should, including database interactions, user authentication, server, network and hosting configuration and business logic. Working behind the scenes – or server-side – Back End Developers are concerned with the systems and structures that allow computer applications to perform as desired.

  • Full-stack development refers to both front- and back-end development. Full Stack developers usually understand a wide variety of programming languages and are familiar with every layer of development.

Frequently Asked Questions

All your questions, answered.

  • What is web development?

    Web development is how ideas become websites. It’s the process of building, creating, and maintaining everything that lives on the internet — from landing pages to full-blown web apps. It’s equal parts logic, creativity, and “why is this working locally but not live?”

  • What’s the difference between web design and web development?

    Web design decides how your website feels — colors, fonts, vibes. Web development makes it work — code, frameworks, and endless testing. Designers make things pretty. Developers make them exist. You need both if you want users to stick around.

  • What is web application development?

    It’s like website development… but with superpowers. Web app development creates interactive platforms like e-commerce stores, booking systems, or dashboards — basically, anything that does more than just sit there looking pretty.

  • What is a CMS in web development?

    A Content Management System (CMS) is your website’s control room. It lets you create, edit, and publish content without touching a single line of code. WordPress, Drupal, Joomla — all part of the CMS family. Bonus: it’s where we make your life way easier.

  • Which language is best for web development?

    Ah, the age-old question — and the short answer is: it depends. HTML/CSS make things look nice, JavaScript makes them move, Python and PHP make them smart, and SQL keeps their memory intact. The real secret? It’s not about the language — it’s about who’s writing it (hi, that’s us).

  • What’s the difference between frontend and backend development?

    Frontend is what you see — buttons, layouts, slick animations, and all that pixel-perfect goodness. Backend is what you don’t see — servers, databases, logic, and the occasional silent scream. Together, they make your website both beautiful and functional.

  • What is full stack development?

    Full stack is the web dev equivalent of “I can do it all.” A full stack developer handles both the frontend sparkle and the backend muscle — basically a one-person army who can take a website from concept to “live and thriving.”

  • What is PHP used for in web development?

    PHP is the behind-the-scenes workhorse of the internet. It’s a server-side scripting language that powers millions of websites — including WordPress. It handles everything from databases to dynamic content, all while you sip your coffee thinking, “wow, that just works.”

  • Why use JavaScript for web development?

    Because without JavaScript, your website would be flatter than a PowerPoint slide. It brings your site to life with animations, interactions, and real-time magic. Basically, it’s what makes buttons click, forms validate, and users stay engaged.

  • What is React in web development?

    React is a JavaScript library built by Facebook that developers actually like using. It helps create fast, scalable, interactive interfaces — the kind that make users go “ooooh.” Think of it as Lego for web apps: reusable components, endless possibilities.

  • What technologies are commonly used in web development?

    All the cool stuff:

    • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
    • Frameworks: React, Angular, Vue.js
    • Backend: Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby
    • Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
    • CMS: WordPress, Drupal
    • Tools: Git, Webpack, Docker
      It’s basically a digital kitchen — we just know which ingredients to mix so it doesn’t explode.
  • What does HTML stand for?

    HyperText Markup Language. It’s the backbone of the web — the reason text, links, and images appear where they should. In simpler terms: no HTML, no internet (and we’d all have to go outside again).
