Website development

But writing is just one part of the equation, how your website is developed and coded is also highly important.

In development, we can split it into two parts: frontend and backend. These terms are not restricted to SEO, but to development in general.

The front end is dedicated to what the final user sees on your website: blocks, content, and appearance. While the back end is its structure: data, logic, and systems.

The two have vastly different skill sets: from different knowledge of programming languages to different mindsets regarding their approach to development. But they must work closely together, for one impacts the other.

HTML, CSS, and javascript are examples of programming languages related to front-end development. While Python, Java, and PHP are related to the back end.

Also, backend developers will need to understand databases, APIs and Server Handling, just to name a few. For frontend developers, DOM Manipulation, web design, and responsive design are some of the skills.

Both of these roles need to work in sync.

For example, the backend developer will improve your website’s overall performance by optimizing its data structure, databases, and which platform your website was created.

On the other hand, the frontend developer can increase your website’s performance by minimizing the assets necessary to load your website to the final user by compressing files and reducing the number of calls to the database.

Sometimes, both the frontend and backend teams need to collaborate on a task, working on different aspects of it to ensure its functionality.
