Web development refers to the creating, building, and maintaining of websites. It includes aspects such as web design, web publishing, web programming, and database management. It is the creation of an application that works over the internet i.e. websites.

The word Web Development is made up of two words, that is:

    They provide a user-friendly interface for managing content, such as text, images, and videos.

    RWD frameworks such as Bootstrap or Foundation are used to create websites that look good on all devices, from desktop computers to smartphones.

6) Image and Graphics Software:
