“Website Development” is a term used in several different ways, but on the whole, those in ‘the industry’ basically refer to website development as all of that which is not web design in regard to working with websites. Often times, it’s not helpful to define things by negation, so another way to perhaps think about it is in terms of ‘front-end’ and ‘back-end’. The ‘front-end’ is the side most folks see, while the ‘back-end’ is where all of the ‘coding’ or ‘scripting’ is done to make the front-end appear the way it does. They are very much different things, as you will see shortly.
Web development is the work involved in developing a website for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network).[1] Web development can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services. A more comprehensive list of tasks to which Web development commonly refers, may include Web engineering, Web design, Web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, Web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development.
Among Web professionals, “Web development” usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building Web sites: writing markup and coding.[2] Web development may use content management systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic technical skills. ~ wikipedia
