A more comprehensive list of tasks to which Web development commonly refers, may include [[Web engineering]], [[Web design]], [[Web content development]], client liaison, [[Client-side scripting|client-side]]/[[server-side scripting]], [[Web server]] and [[network security]] configuration, and [[e-commerce]] development.

For larger organizations and businesses, Web development teams can consist of hundreds of people ([[Web developer]]s) and follow standard methods like [[Agile software development|Agile methodologies]] while developing Web sites.<ref name="Techopedia.com" /> Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a [[graphic designer]] or [[information systems]] technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the ___domain of a designated department. There are three kinds of Web developer specialization: [[Front-end Web development|front-end developer]], back-end developer, and full-stack developer.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Northwood |first=Chris |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vvd6DwAAQBAJ |title=The Full Stack Developer: Your Essential Guide to the Everyday Skills Expected of a Modern Full Stack Web Developer |date=2018-11-19 |publisher=Apress |isbn=978-1-4842-4152-3 |language=en}}</ref> Front-end

Web 2.0 introduced increased user engagement and communication. It evolved from the static, read-only nature of Web 1.0 and became an integrated network for engagement and communication. It is often referred to as a user-focused, read-write online network.<ref name="Soni-2023" />
In the realm of Web 2.0 environments, users now have access to a platform that encourages sharing activities such as creating music, files, images, and movies.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hall |first=Heather |date=2022-05-01 |title=Web 2.0 Explained: Everything You Need To Know |url=https://history-computer.com/web-2-0/ |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=History-Computer |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-01-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230109091721/https://history-computer.com/web-2-0/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The architecture of Web 2.0 is often considered the "backbone of the internet," using standardized [[XML]] (Extensible Markup Language) tags to authorize information flow from independent platforms and [[online database]]s.<ref name="Soni-2023" />

=== Evolution of web development technologies ===
Line 72:
During this phase, the previously outlined objectives and available resources undergo analysis to determine their feasibility. This analysis is divided into six tasks, as follows:
* '''Technology analysis:''' Identification of all necessary technological components and tools for constructing,
* '''Information analysis:''' Identification of user-required information, whether static (web page) or dynamic (pulled "live" from a database server).
* '''Skills analysis:''' Identification of the diverse skill sets necessary to complete the project.
