Web application development is the process of creating software that runs on web servers and is accessed through a web browser. Web applications can range from simple web pages to complex, interactive platforms.
Steps in web application development

Types of web application development
Front-end development: Creates the user interface and user experience (UI/UX)
Back-end development: Works on the server-side software that users can't see
Static web application: Pre-rendered web pages that are delivered to users without server-side processing
When building a web application, ensure it's responsive and usable on all types of devices. A well-designed web application should be pleasant and functional at any size or screen width.
