Hey Mazin Saeedi,

The front end handles everything that is seen by the user. This could be HTML and CSS used to design a webpage. Small business websites, like the website of a restaurant for example, are often static webpages using front end development.

The back end, on the other hand, is responsible for handling things unseen by the user like databases and servers. Websites like Facebook, Twitter, and even Treehouse are examples where both front end and back end technologies are used.

Good luck!
