What is a primary role of a web developer?

• A. Creates, tests, and maintains web pages using wireframes and assets from designers and other creatives.
• B. Designs logos for brands.
• C. Writes backend database queries for data mining.
• D. Scripts promotional radio ads.

Answer: (A)

Turning design into a functioning site by building, testing, and maintaining web pages using wireframes and assets from designers is the central role of a web developer. They take the plans from designers, write the code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), implement layouts and interactivity, bring in the supplied images and assets, and then test the pages to ensure they work across devices and browsers. They also fix issues and keep the site updated as content changes. The other tasks belong to different roles: logos are created in graphic design, backend queries for data mining are about data processing and server-side work, and scripting promotional radio ads is part of marketing. The best choice describes the hands-on building and ongoing maintenance that defines web development.
