What Skills and Disciplines Do You Need to Develop a Website?
When most people think about website development — they think about software code and engineering. There is more to website development than just the code. Building a team to develop custom websites requires a diverse set of skills and capabilities in multiple disciplines to drive success.
Here is a better look at important skillsets and disciplines your team will need to build and develop websites:
1. Programming Skills
Programming is the foundation of website construction and software developers use a broad range of programming languages to build modern, responsive websites. There are an estimated 8,000 programming languages — but not all will be applicable to website design and some may work better than others.
- HTML – HTML code is the building blocks of a website and is used to create the basic structure of websites and web pages.
- CSS – CSS is a programming language that is used to create the visual layouts and design of a website.
- JavaScript – JavaScript is used to create interactive and dynamic elements on a website that enhance the user experience.
- .NET – This programming language is used to build and develop website applications, desktop apps, mobile apps, and IoT solutions.
- C# – This is a versatile programming language that can be used for a wide variety of applications in backend website development and works in conjunction with .NET.
- Python: Python is a versatile framework used in web development with Django and Flask programming.
- PHP – PHP is another programming language that is used to develop dynamic website applications and works in tandem with Laravel and Symfony.
2. Graphic Design Skills
An attractive and responsive website design is an important element of website development that leads to success, and a successful website development company needs employees with design skills. Graphic designers need to have experience with graphic design platforms that may include Photoshop, Canva, Sketch, Paint, and more that can be used to develop attractive website designs.
3. SEO Skills
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an important element of website design that will help potential customers find a website. This process includes building a website and creating content that will help a website rank higher on Google Search. SEO optimization elements for websites can include content, loading speeds, user experience, design, SEO titles, meta tags, subdomains, and sitemaps.
4. Security Skills
A website that is not secure will not benefit the users or the website owners. A website development team needs to have individuals who understand website security and how it impacts the design of a website. This may involve protecting websites against cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and other cyber attacks.
5. Content Creation and Management Skills
Website content is an important element of a successful website — whether that be landing pages, images, videos, infographics, or other custom content. Google and other search engines look at content when ranking websites, making it a valuable asset for tech companies interested in website development.
