What a Web Developer does

They build and maintain the websites and web applications that customers interact with. An offshore web developer typically covers:

Building new pages and features from designs or specs, using React, Vue, Next.js, or whatever your stack is

Maintaining existing code, fixing bugs, and handling the small requests that pile up across the marketing site, blog, and any internal tools

Integrating with APIs, CRMs, payment processors, and the third-party services your product depends on

Setting up the deployment pipeline, environment configs, and the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps things from breaking

Caring about page speed, accessibility, and the SEO basics that a marketing team would otherwise have to nag about

A strong web developer writes code that the next person can read and ships features without leaving a trail of bugs behind. Most companies hire one when their marketing site has become a maintenance burden or when an internal tool needs more attention than the product team can spare.

What to look for in a Web Developer

The tell is how they talk about code they've shipped. A strong one can walk you through a specific feature, what they built, what tradeoffs they made, and what they'd do differently now. When you interview, look for:

A live site or repo they can show you. Not just job titles

Comfort with your specific stack. A React developer is not automatically going to be productive in Vue, and vice versa

A sense of what's worth fighting for in code review. The right answer to 'what was a hard tradeoff' is specific, not philosophical

Avoid anyone who can't talk through code they wrote without it sounding rehearsed.

Tools a strong one should know:

React or Vue or SvelteNext.js or NuxtTypeScriptNode.jsTailwind CSSGit and GitHubVercel or Netlifya headless CMS like Sanity or Contentful
