Definition
Web & Frontend refers to a field encompassing web technologies, single-page applications (SPAs), and the visual presentation layers that make up modern interactive websites. This domain focuses on client-side development, user interface design, responsive layouts, and dynamic content delivery through browser-based technologies.
The frontend layer acts as the user-facing component of web applications, handling everything from initial page rendering to complex interactive experiences using JavaScript frameworks, CSS styling, and HTML structure.
