enthusiastic and competent Web Developer who,
over the years, has built up a diverse range
of skills, qualities and attributes that guarantee
I will perform highly in this role. I have
extensive experience working both alone and
as part of a team on often time-sensitive,
challenging web development projects that
require outstanding creative and technical
capabilities and the ability to ensure all
work is optimized across a wide range of platforms.
I take my work as a Web Developer seriously
and this means I always ensure my skills are
kept up to date within this rapidly changing
industry. If you hire me as your Web Developer,
I assure you I will fit into your team quickly,
I will always put the commercial needs of
your business at the forefront of everything
I do, and the work I carry out will be consistently

I carried out lots of research into your organization

offer, and the way you support your employees
tells me this is a great place to work. I
am seeking long-term employment with the same

and you can download my full set of 29 Web
Developer Interview Questions and Top-scoring
answers, including the ones we are working
through together today. Here is the next question.
How do you plan a web development project?
This is a common web developer interview question
that is assessing your ability to manage and
produce difficult web development projects
in line with the clients or the organization's
requirements. Here's a brilliant answer to
help you. How do you plan a Web Development
project? “There are eight fundamental steps
I use whenever I plan a web development project.
The planning stage is crucial to the project’s
success. Step one, I will define the goals
of the project and specify the objectives
and the budget – what do we want to achieve,
and by when. Step two, I will discuss and
establish the wireframe, going into detail
of how the website must function including
ensuring it meets Google’s best practice
guidelines. Step three, I will establish the
content that will be used at launch and the
content strategy moving forward. Content is
king and I would be keen to ensure the content
is fresh and, more importantly, it meets the
needs of the end user. Step four, I will establish
the design and functionality of the website,
and these would be built around the wireframe
and the website’s content strategy. Step
five, I would determine the team of people
involved and who I would need to utilize to
get the project complete. This might include
using outsourcers for specific elements of
the project, including graphic design etc.
Step six, I would put everything into a definitive
action plan before commencing work. Step seven
would be a period of intensive testing across
different browsers and mobile and desktop
devices to assess the website’s speed and
functionality, before finally launching at
step eight.” That is a brilliant answer
and it is very clever because you are talking
about each of the different steps that you're
going to use when you plan a proper web development
project to bring it to a successful conclusion!
And you can see there how effective it is
by talking about those 8 DIFFERENT STEPS.
The next question, what do you like and dislike
the most about being a web developer? Dealing
with and working alongside people is an important
part of being a Web Developer. This question
is assessing which aspect you will find the
hardest, and how you will overcome the challenges
that this role presents. Here is my answer
to the question, what do you like and dislike
the most about being a Web Developer? “The
aspects I will like include being able to
put my wide range of skills and expertise
to good use during challenging web development
projects. I will enjoy working alongside other
like-minded professionals who are all collaborating
to build the best website possible that meets
the ever-changing needs of the end user. In
terms of the parts I will dislike, the only
thing I would find difficult perhaps is when
I must deal with external outsourcers or contractors
who don’t have the same appetite for project
completion as I do. Having said that, I have
built up strong communication and interpersonal
skills over the years, so I feel confident
I can drive people forward and get them to
complete things on time.” That is a really
strong answer! You will notice there that
I have not mentioned about dealing with difficult
clients, about being a part that I would probably
dislike. I don't think you should mention
anything that's based around clients if you
are having to deal with them as a Web Developer,
because that is just a challenging part of
the role that you would have to overcome.
And if you find that bit difficult, then you
might not be able to achieve your goals as
a web developer. The next question, what will
you bring to our company as a Web Developer?
This question might be posed as: Why should
we hire you? Now, this will be another guaranteed
web developer interview question that you
need to answer in a positive way. Make sure
you give a response that is unique and that
makes you stand out from the other candidates.
And here's the best way to answer it. What
will you bring to our company as a Web Developer?
“I will bring a fast pace of working, in-depth
technical knowledge and an understanding of
what is working right now within your industry
from a web development perspective. I will
also bring strong project management skills,
teamworking capabilities and the understanding
that professional web development is critical
to your organization’s success. Finally,
I will bring a positive mindset, the ability
to fit into a team and an over-riding passion
for web development that I believe you will
witness in the results that I produce for
you.” That’s a great ANSWER! It’s short,
it is positive and it's punchy, and you will
be the only one who uses that level of response,
helping you to pass your interview. Now, the
