The frontend is the same as the user interface, this is the part of the software that the users (in this case the web site visitors) will interact with. In web applications, the client part of the software is often called the frontend and the server part is called the backend
In reference to OpenCrypt, we refer to the 'frontend' as the parts of the software which are used by web site visitors as opposed to the administration panel which is used by the web site owner(s). The OpenCrypt 'frontend' includes the user registration form, user account manager and member's area(s).
