A plain-language definition of web development and how it differs from web applications.
Web development is the work of designing and building websites people browse, read, and convert through — structure, content templates, performance, forms, and integrations.
Website vs web application
A website primarily publishes and converts. A web application supports ongoing, often authenticated workflows. Many businesses need both: a marketing site plus a product or portal.

- Clear information architecture
- Responsive, maintainable front ends
