Frontend Developer
The front-end developer takes care of making a website functional and usable for the user. In other words, he completes the work of the back-end developer, who instead builds and manages all that concerns the server aspect of the site. The front-end developer is much more than a web designer because he deals with the visual and graphic aspect and also makes it possible for the visitor to surf for the website's business purposes.
