What does a Junior Frontend Developer do?

Frontend is the part of a product users see and interact with. A junior frontend developer builds UI screens, connects them to APIs, and turns designs into working web pages.

  • Build pages with HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript
  • Develop UI components (React fundamentals)
  • Consume APIs and render data
  • Debug UI issues and handle edge cases

Who is this track for?

  • People switching careers with zero coding background
  • Those who like visual results and fast feedback loops
  • Anyone willing to build a portfolio (projects matter)

Who should avoid it?

  • If you hate trial-and-error and debugging
  • If you expect “watch videos = get a job” without projects

Job market reality

Junior frontend roles exist, but competition is high. The differentiator is not “knowing React” — it’s having a real portfolio: API-based screens, state management, routing, and clean UI behavior.
