Web Developer

A primary KRA is to develop, build, and maintain websites and web applications. This involves writing well-designed, efficient, and testable code using various programming and scripting languages (like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript). A web developer is also responsible for integrating data from different backend services and databases and ensuring the website functions correctly and efficiently. Regular maintenance, including updates and security patches, is also a key part of this responsibility.

User Experience (UX) and Design

Web developers are responsible for the user interface (UI) and user experience of a website. This includes collaborating with designers to convert visual concepts into functional web pages, creating responsive designs that work across various devices and browsers, and implementing intuitive navigation and interactive elements. They focus on making sure the website is visually appealing and easy for users to navigate.

Performance and Optimization

A web developer’s KRAs include ensuring the website’s performance is optimized for speed and functionality. This involves tasks such as:

Testing and debugging to identify and resolve bugs or issues.

Performance monitoring to track metrics like page load speed and uptime.

Search engine optimization (SEO) to improve the website’s visibility and ranking on search engines.

Collaboration and Communication

Web developers don’t work in a vacuum; they often need to collaborate with various stakeholders. A KRA in this area involves effective communication with team members, including designers, project managers, and other developers, to understand project requirements, provide updates, and ensure all parts of a project are aligned with business goals.

Professional Development

Due to the fast-paced nature of the tech industry, a crucial KRA for web developers is to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends. This includes continuously learning new programming languages, frameworks, and tools to improve their skills and bring innovative solutions to projects.
