A website developer is responsible for creating, designing, and maintaining websites. This involves writing code in programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the structure, layout, and functionality of a website. The developer must ensure that the website is compatible with different browsers and devices, and is optimized for speed, accessibility, and search engine rankings.

- Collaborating with designers to ensure the website has a visually appealing layout and user-friendly interface
- Optimizing website performance and speed
