In short
The part of web development that runs in the browser and shapes what users see, click, read, and complete.
It includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive layouts, accessibility, forms, interaction states, and performance work that affects Core Web Vitals.
Where it bites
Front-end development matters when the website has to carry revenue, content, integrations, or compliance work. The useful question is what the build must keep working after launch.
What to check
- What must a user be able to do without friction?
- Which integration or content workflow owns the hidden complexity?
- What breaks if traffic doubles or an editor changes the page?
