Front-end developer: the customer-friendly coder
There are three main types of developers: front-end, back-end, and full-stack. The names are pretty self-explanatory. A front-end developer creates the front part, or user-facing component, of a product.
As you can imagine, a front-end developer is a pretty vital part of any development team. In addition to simply building the user-facing part of your product, they make sure users have a smooth, seamless experience using the product. Among other things, that means creating an intuitive interface with findable buttons, easy-to-read text, simple navigation, and high-speed transitions.
