What are the differences between Front-End and Back-End?

[Tommy]

I am just curious what are the differences between Front-End and Back-End? can everyone manage a site with just Front-End or Back-End?

 

[Malcolm]

The difference between Front-End and Back-End; front-end is more the client side of things, so things such as what you view when you go to e.g https://codeforum.org, the back-end is more server-side so dealing with emails, database etc.

If I'm wrong, please correct me!

Front end in simple terms is what your visitor sees back end is a control panel or dashboard .
