Web development is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network).
This can include web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development.
However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding.
Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
For larger organizations and businesses, web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting webmaster, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer and/or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department.
