Nature of work
Web developers are found working in different types of organizations, including large corporations and governments, small and medium-sized companies, or themselves as freelancers. Some web developers work for one organization as full-time permanent employees, while others may work as independent consultants, or as contractors for employment agencies. Web developers typically handle server side logic and front-end logic. This usually involves applying all the visual elements that users see and use in web applications, as well as all the web services and APIs needed to turn on the front-end. Salaries vary depending on the type of development work, location, and seniority level.
