Website Design and Development

3 Months Ago


As someone pursuing a Data Science degree in India, I can say that website design and development is a valuable complementary skill—even if your primary focus is data. Here’s why:
 1. Data Science + Web Development = End-to-End Projects In the real world, it’s not just about analyzing data—you often need to present insights or deploy ML models via a web interface. Learning front-end and back-end basics lets you: Build interactive dashboards (e.g., with Streamlit, Flask, or Django) Deploy your ML models as web apps or APIs Create personal portfolios to showcase your data science projects
 2. What You Should Learn (As a Data Science Student) If you're studying a data science degree in India, here's a simplified roadmap for web skills that match your field:
SkillWhy It MattersHTML, CSS, JavaScriptBasics for any front-end visualization or interactive UIFlask / DjangoPython-based web frameworks to deploy ML modelsStreamlit / DashDesigned specifically for data science web appsREST APIsTo serve your models or data pipelines onlineGit + GitHubTo host and share your code / projects
3. Use Cases in Data Science Predictive apps: e.g., house price predictor, loan default classifier Dashboards: for displaying data insights (Sales, KPIs, etc.) Data storytelling: turn Jupyter notebooks into interactive experiences Freelancing: many gigs ask for data visualization + basic front-end skills
Final Thoughts Even though I’m doing a data science degree in India, learning web design and development has helped me stand out—especially during internships and project submissions. It’s not mandatory, but it definitely gives you a practical edge in showcasing your work and building real-world data products.
