How to Become a Web Developer - Fast!

Websites have become the primary method for companies to conduct business on the internet. Gone are the days when websites were no more than electronic brochures. Today’s websites are dynamic and interactive and they require web developers who can maximize their potential as a communication tool and revenue generator. In addition, websites have become the primary way to communicate and educate potential customers, clients and employees and a place to build online communities that can provide support, help and guidance for a company's products or services.

Here is a brief list that outlines the day-to-day tasks web developers perform:

  • Meeting with owners to determine needs and website features
  • Creating and debugging applications
  • Writing code using programming languages such as HyperText Markup Language (HTML) or XML
  • Working with graphic artists to determine website layout
  • Designing layout of the site, including videos, pictures, and text
  • Monitoring website traffic

The main objective is to make a client's vision of their website a working reality based on their specific needs.

What are the educational requirements for a future in web development?

An Associate of Science or an Associates of Applied Science degree in Computer and Information Science is a common requirement for an entry level web developer position. However, for more technical positions such as web architect, employers generally require a Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science or other computer science field.

ECPI University offers both associate and bachelor degree opportunities. Web developers need to have a thorough understanding of HTML as well as other programming languages, such as JavaScript or SQL. ECPI University offers degrees covering all aspects of web development. A full-time student can complete an associate degree in 1.5 years and a bachelor's degree in 2.5 years.
