GitHub Web Development Projects 

With the entire world being pushed online because of a global pandemic, the need for quality web design is only increasing. It is by far garnering a tremendous amount of attention because a good looking and functioning website is tough to find.

One of the best things about being a web designer is that your education does not restrict you. This entire field looks and values for skill and merit over stamped education degrees. So, as long as you know how to create stunning websites, you are bound to find a job somewhere.

If you do not like jobs and seek the thrill, you can even try out Freelancing. That way, you would not be tied down with any company, and you will have fun working with multiple projects at the same time.

There are many facets to web development. Namely, there are two. You can either be the one who creates the client-side or front-end. The client-side designer deals with how the website looks like, which element goes where, and which way would make it best to design the website such that users get the best experience.

Front-end also is further divided into two parts, UI (or User Interface) or UX (or User Experience). Switching things over to the server-side, we see that the things you would be designing would be how each and every element in the website works. Meaning, you would be the one who would be designing the way the website interacts with the user and also all the things which happen in the background, like the addition of information to the databases.

You can either be one of the two that we mentioned, or you can be both. Yes, someone who can work on both the front and the backend is highly coveted. That person is known as a full-stack web developer.
