But what does a web developer do?

The web developer is a technical role involved in creating a website by taking the designs created by the web designer and using scripting languages or animation software to create web pages. The role of web developer is often referred to in the industry as a “coder”. Some employers look for web developers who can combine the role with that of designer but leading recruitment agencies are increasingly advising recruits to concentrate on one skill. A web developer can also be involved in post-production activities such as ensuring the site figures highly on search engines as well as in the testing process.
