In a broader term web development is any activity related to developing a web site for the World Wide Web or an intranet. This can include e-commerce business development, web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting, and web server configuration.

It is still important to remember that web development is generally split up into client side coding covering aspects such as the layout and design, then server side coding, which covers the website's functionality and back end systems. Important skills that a Web designer must have are the ability to solve problems, induce efficiencies, condense elaborateness, convey ideas, extract feelings and ultimately cause actions. It is about solving the problems of the client.
