What the work is worth. The web is where most people meet an organization for the first time. A web developer builds the front door for clinics, schools, small businesses, and campaigns.

An ordinary day. Build and maintain websites and web apps, translate designs into working pages, fix layout and performance issues, and test across devices.

The path in. Associate's or bachelor's, or a self-taught portfolio; front-end work rewards demonstrated skill over credentials.

From zero. The STEM Farm Software / Web / QA / Automation track starts at zero-STEM intake and ends in this kind of work, with verified proof at every gate.
