This is a web-development-first role, your focus is creating fast, polished, well-built websites that land at a high standard, every time. The role is primarily front-end and CMS development, with a healthy amount of backend work too: writing server-side logic, working with databases, and wiring up the functionality behind the sites you build. You won't be running cloud platforms or managing infrastructure day to day, so you can stay focused on doing web development really well. This is an ideal role for someone who loves building websites end to end and wants to keep sharpening their craft across both the front-end and the backend., Front-End Development * Build and maintain websites from build through to launch. * Implement features using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. * Develop responsive, cross-browser layouts to a high standard of quality. * Turn designs into clean, accurate, well-structured pages. * Customise themes and templates. * Debug front-end functionality and performance issues. Backend Development * Write and maintain server-side logic, typically in PHP. * Build and customise CMS functionality, plugins, and integrations. * Work with MySQL / MariaDB databases - writing queries, structuring data, and handling imports and migrations. * Connect websites to APIs and third-party services. * Investigate and fix backend bugs and database-related issues. Quality & Performance * Take pride in producing high-quality, maintainable builds rather than rushed ones. * Optimise websites for speed and performance. * Implement caching where appropriate. * Troubleshoot slow-loading pages and functionality issues. * Work with senior developers to review and improve build quality. ## Related Videos - [Web development best practices in 2021](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/280-web-development-best-practices-in-2021) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Branch your database like your code: How schema changes and pull requests go hand in hand](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/350-branch-your-database-like-your-code-how-schema-changes-and-pull-requests-go-hand-in-hand) - [Coding for Good: Achieving social change with an app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1645-coding-for-good-achieving-social-change-with-an-app) ## Related Articles - [What is a web developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/18-what-is-a-web-developer) - [Web Developer Portfolio Inspiration and Examples - March 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/561-web-developer-portfolio-inspiration-and-examples-march-2025) - [Top 23 Web Developer Portfolio Examples to Inspire Your Own](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/161-top-23-web-developer-portfolio-examples-to-inspire-your-own) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Dev Digest 113 - Debugging above the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/422-dev-digest-113-debugging-above-the-cloud)
