Frontend vs. Backend

A website’s frontend is what the visitor sees when they load up your site in their browser. It includes the layout, colors, images and text on the page. These are all things that can be changed by editing the frontend code of your website. The frontend is made up of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript. This code determines how your site looks and functions. 

The backend is what you see as the owner of the site: The files that run on your computer that tell your server what to do with requests from visitors who visit your site online. The backend of your website is where all your content is stored in databases, such as WordPress or Drupal. This means that you won’t be able to change anything on the backend without using an app or plugin (or by writing code).

Plugins & Themes

Plugins are pieces of software that add functionality to your site without having to write any code yourself. For example: A contact form plugin will allow you to add contact forms to your site without having to write any code yourself! Themes are templates that come with pre-built stylesheets and HTML files so you can install them onto your site with just one click! They contain all sorts of different designs for you to choose from so it’s easy for anyone who doesn't know how.

Plugins are small software programs that add functionality or features to WordPress without much effort from you as the user or administrator (the person who manages the site). When installing plugins on your WordPress installation for example, there is no need for any coding knowledge or experience—just search for what you want on Google or another search engine like Bing or DuckDuckGo then click on an “install” link after selecting one that looks promising in terms of features offered at no cost compared with others requiring payment before downloading.
