Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites and web applications that run on the internet. It involves everything from creating simple static pages to complex web-based systems, applications, and services. Web development ensures that a website is functional, responsive, visually appealing, and user-friendly.

It typically includes three main components:

• Front-end development (what users see and interact with)

• Back-end development (server-side logic and database interactions)

• Full-stack development (a combination of both)
