Technologies We Use in Frontend Development Services
Good tools and technologies are crucial for successful development projects, and frontend development is no exception. Frontend developers utilize a range of computer languages to create interactive user environments. Among these languages, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the primary technologies that form the foundation of frontend development, even as newer methods continue to emerge in the field.
HTML
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a computer language used in web development to structure texts and organize elements such as headlines, buttons, and forms. It also allows for the introduction of media and pictures, as well as making lists, and creating links, tables, special characters, and texts. In general, HTML provides the basic visible structure for the website. It uses tags, professionally called “elements,” to lay the foundation for an interactive environment, and hence, it’s an essential skill for every frontend developer.
CSS
CSS, fully known as Cascading Style Sheets, is a programming language used to define how the basic structures developed with HTML presents to viewers. It determines the layout, the design, and the way the website will appear on different-size screens. In other words, CSS controls the website’s presentation and appearance. It gives each HTML tag additional properties. While HTML provides the basic structural content and layout of a website, CSS styles the web environment and everything in it.
JAVASCRIPT
JavaScript (JS) is the third essential tool in frontend development. It’s also a programming language used by both frontend and backend developers. Primarily, JavaScript helps developers modify websites accordingly with the use of frameworks. JavaScript is rather versatile, as it does everything from making a website more interactive to helping to further secure a website to making special effects. It’s used on the majority of websites and all modern browsers support it for its effective and efficient functionality.
The other technologies employed in the frontend development of a website are React, React Native, Angular, Flutter, Bootstrap, Vue, Next, TypeScript, Gatsby, Monorepo, and many more.
