Visualforce

A framework that allows developers to build custom user interfaces for Salesforce applications.

Complete Definition

Visualforce is Salesforce's original framework for building custom pages and interfaces using a tag-based markup language similar to HTML. It integrates with Apex controllers for business logic and can be used to create custom layouts, override standard pages, or build mobile interfaces. While still supported, Salesforce recommends Lightning Web Components for new development.
