[|Web developers] handle the technical tasks of building websites. They plan the framework and work with programming tools, scripting languages, and databases to make the site function. Developers take information, like words or pictures, and translate it into computer languages, which usually consist of numbers or formulas. This is called coding. The coding enables the computer to recognize commands. For instance, when a user clicks on a link, the computer will respond by bringing up another web page.
