As a web developer, you would design, build and maintain new websites and upgrade existing ones. Your projects would be diverse, have various features, and have different phases. You might be responsible for the entire process, or handle a particular stage.

For each phase, your duties would include:

• working with the client to understand the scope of the work
• using test sites to see which ideas best suit the client’s needs
• building the website structure and functionality
• working closely with the web designer to produce an appealing website
• putting in measures to deal with user access and security
• testing the site under construction to find and fix any problems before publishing it online
• maintaining and updating the website
