HTML Basics: Web Foundations
Frontend and Backend Explained
What is Frontend Development?

Frontend development involves creating the visual and interactive parts of a website that users see and interact with. It includes the design and layout of web pages.

What is Backend Development?

Backend development focuses on the server-side of a website, handling data storage, server logic, and communication between the server and the user’s browser.

How Do Frontend and Backend Work Together?

Frontend and backend work together to create a complete website. Frontend is what users interact with, while backend handles the behind-the-scenes processes.

Interactive Example

Think of a website as a restaurant:

  • Frontend: The menu, tables, and decor that customers see (user interface).
  • Backend: The kitchen and staff that prepare and manage the food (server-side operations).

  • When you place an order (frontend action), the kitchen (backend) processes it and sends the food back to you.
