Day-to-day operating brief

What Web Developer work looks like in practice

A Web Developer builds and maintains websites using front-end code, content-management systems, server integrations and hosting tools. The role may span agency clients or an employer's own sites, with access to domains, analytics, customer forms and production credentials. Terms should define projects, repositories, CMS permissions, accessibility, privacy, security, deployment, maintenance, third-party themes or plugins, client contact, remote equipment and IP. Form acceptance should test validation, spam controls, delivery failure, consent records and secure retention, not merely successful submission. Domain and certificate renewals need named owners outside an individual account. Maintenance terms should distinguish content updates from security fixes and larger feature development. Caching changes should define purge behaviour and content freshness for pages, APIs and edge services. A deployment can succeed while customers continue receiving obsolete scripts or pricing because older variants remain valid at another layer.

Configure approved CMS components.
Test accessibility and browsers.
