A junior web developer assists in building and maintaining websites and web applications. Tasks include coding with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and collaborating with senior developers on larger projects.

Essential skills include proficiency in front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), basic understanding of responsive design, debugging, and version control (like Git).

A degree in computer science or a related field helps, but many developers enter the field through coding bootcamps, online courses, or self-learning combined with a strong portfolio.

Startups, digital agencies, tech companies, and even non-tech businesses often hire junior developers to support their web development and digital needs.
