Web development has, for many years, been a lucrative career path for millions of people. Though there’s been a recent downturn in the tech sector, with many companies collectively laying off thousands of workers, there’s still a need for developers—including those who can work as front-end developers.

They work on the part of websites that users actually see, says Dan Martino, the digital director and founder of 914Digital, a New York-based digital media company.
