A front end developer has one general responsibility: to ensure that website visitors can easily interact with the page. They do this through the combination of design, technology and programming to code a website’s appearance, as well as taking care of debugging. Whenever you visit a website, anything that you see, click on or otherwise use is the work of a front end developer.

Common Tasks of a Front End Developer

Although there is some variation across companies, you can generally expect a front end developer role to include some or all of the following: 

• Optimizing the user experience.
• Using HTML, JavaScript and CSS to bring concepts to life.
• Developing and maintaining the user interface.
• Implementing design on mobile websites.
