In this technology-driven era, you must have come across the term “front-end development”.But what actually front-end development is? Is it something to do with programming?

 By front-end development, we mean the interface of an app. What a user sees after clicking the app/web or when he visits or clicks a specific page of any website, he sees the front-end of that website. The front end of any website plays a significant role in bringing users to it — beautiful interface improves the usability of any website.

The wrong kind of development drives away business!

Who Is A Front End Developer

A front-end developer is the one who designs the layout of a website. Appropriate designing of a layout demands sufficient knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and BootStrap.The layout, animation, navigation and whatever we see at the opening of a website is designed by a front-end developer.

A front-end developer has to come up with creative ideas because front-end demands constant innovation — every new design get old after some time. Companies with skilled front-end developers constantly improve the interface of their apps and entertain their customers with their creativity.

How Can You Design An Attracting Front End

Extensive Knowledge Of HTML & CSS

To design an attractive front-end and regularly innovate, you need extensive knowledge of HTML and CSS. Developer with appropriate knowledge of alignments and tags of HTML tends to design more appealing layouts than the ones who lack the basic knowledge of HTML. Knowledge of divs, tables, screen alignment, and HTML lists is mandatory to set an organized layout.

JavaScript

JavaScript is doing much more now than it was initially designed for. By learning core JavaScript, you can create animations, sliders, pop-up windows, timers and much more. This helps you to minimize the load at server-side, ultimately improving the overall performance of your application. It’s libraries — available in the form of jQuery — have made front-end developer’s job relatively easier and process of development fast.

Bootstrap

To become a skilled front-end developer, knowledge of bootstrap is required — however, you can develop front-end even without using bootstrap. Bootstrap allows you to set the layout of your web quickly and efficiently. It saves your time by providing you pre-defined classes that allow you to set out divs, forms, tables, and lists quickly.

How Front-End Development Improves user Experience

A delicately planned front-end of a website helps in improving the user experience on a website. A professionally designed front-end is based on human psychology and makes it easy for a user to explore the website easily.

Front-end of any website plays a key role in the SEO, as Google ranks websites with better user-experience in top searches. A front-end that is designed on obsolete technology will never be able to catch and keep the attention of today’s user!

When a user visits your website, he expects things to be simple; navigating from one page to another less time consuming, comprehensive menu bar and fast loading of new page. If the layout lacks any of these features, he’ll leave the page after a few seconds and never revisit!
