Front-end development, also known as client-side development, revolves around creating the User Interface (UI) for websites or web applications. This process determines the visual appearance and functionality of every aspect of a website. The UI encompasses the graphical elements and user interactions that visitors experience. When you browse a website, everything you see, such as buttons, UI components, media, text, forms, and animations, is developed as part of the front-end.

A front-end developer is one who looks after the UI (User Interface). He/She is responsible to handle the client side of the application. Using front-end technologies, one can build the complete UI on which the user interacts.
