Web development
Web development is a term that describes the process to developing a web site for the WWW or an intranet. This includes e-commerce business development, web design, client-side/server-side scripting, web content development and web server configuration. Web development ranges from developing the simplest static single page of just text to very complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
For larger businesses and organisations, web development teams often consist of hundreds of people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only need a single permanent or contracting website administrator, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer and/or Information systems technician. Web development is a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department.
