Client-side scripting
Front-end code that determines what a client or user sees when they come to a website.
Server-side scripting
Back-end code that supports the mechanics of how a website should function.
Database technology
Using languages like SQL (particularly for search tools on a website) so the user can pull the information they need from a website smoothly and efficiently.

Web design
Web designers are more focused on the aesthetics of a website.
