The frontend is the layer you interact with in the browser. Buttons, input fields, dashboards, dropdown menus. These are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the interface.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind that sits the backend. When you click a button or submit data, a request travels to a server. The server runs whatever logic is required, pulls or writes data to a database, and sends a response back to your screen. You never see the backend. You only see the result it returns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the whole thing runs in a browser, nobody installs anything.

The difference from a regular website is that a web application responds to what you do. You log in, and it knows who you are.

Vague requirements at the start are the most common reason projects run long.<\/span><\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have used a web application today.
