Frontend

Frontends are what users see and interact with. When you go to a website and log in, you're interacting with the frontend of that website. The term frontend describes the text, buttons, links, input fields, etc. on a webpage and the software that goes into creating and composing them.

Basic Concepts​

HTML - If you look closely, you'll notice that web pages all have structure to them. HTML is a language that describes this structure. Does this button go before or after the title? Questions like this are answered by HTML.

CSS - While HTML describes how a web page is structured, CSS is what gives it color, size, spacing, animation, etc.

Javascript - When you click on a button, what should your web page do? When you type words into a search bar, what results should come up? These are questions using Javascript.
