User Interface (UI) Design:
Visual design of the website elements like buttons, navigation, colors, typography, and overall theme.
Creating an intuitive interface for users to interact with.

Focusing on how users interact with the website and ensuring that their experience is smooth, easy, and enjoyable.
Includes wireframes, user flows, and prototype testing.
Responsive Design:

Utilizing media queries, flexible layouts, and scalable images.
Design Tools:
Tools like Adobe XD, Figma, Sketch, and Photoshop are commonly used for designing the visual aspects of a website.
Web Development:
Web development is the process of building the website’s functionality. It is divided into front-end and back-end development.
Front-End Development (Client-Side):
This is about what users see and interact with on the website:
Languages & Tools:
HTML (HyperText Markup Language): The structure of the website (headings, paragraphs, images, etc.).
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used for styling and layout.
JavaScript: Adds interactivity to the website (e.g., animations, dynamic content).
Frameworks/Libraries: Tools like React, Angular, Vue.js, and Bootstrap help streamline the development process.
Responsive Layouts:
Ensuring the site adapts to various screen sizes and devices using techniques like media queries and flexible grid layouts.
Web Accessibility:
Ensuring the website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This involves following best practices like semantic HTML and using screen reader-friendly features.
Full-Stack Development:
A full-stack developer is skilled in both front-end and back-end development. They can create a complete web application from start to finish, handling everything from the visual design to the server-side logic and database management.
