FAQs: Web Development

Web development is the process of building a website. It involves elements of design and programming to create a functional and easy experience for users. Web development shares elements with web design, but where web design focuses on the things that users see on a webpage, web development tends to focus on the unseen elements that make the website functional.

In general, you'll need skills such as web design, web coding, interactive web page scripting and more. Taking web development courses can be a great way to learn about these skills and develop a solid foundation that can be used to build more advanced web development concepts on down the line. In addition to earning a web development certificate, it may also be useful to earn professional certifications such as the Adobe® Certified Associate (ACA) certification. This type of certification verifies your skills in specific areas of web development.
