The reason for writing this article is that a lot of people are still confused between a Web Designer and a Web Developer. They don't know the difference between a Web Designer and a Web Developer i.e. What does a Web Designer do? or What does a Web Developer do?
Peoples often use these terms interchangeably or they use these terms for referring to a same person i.e. they consider these two terms are same as per the job description. Sometimes larger companies also seem to be confused about these terms. Therefore, in this article, we are trying to define these terms or we are going to discuss these terms as per their job description.
So let's learn about Web Designer:-
A Web Designer is a person who does the graphical design of the website or web application and so we can say that a web designer mainly works in HTML or CSS or use another graphical program like Photoshop or illustrator etc.
A web designer designs the graphical user interface and also designs the different things like icons, typography, Color schemes and all the styles cape of the web page.
Let's learn about Web Developer:-
A Web developer, on the other hand, is usually a development part of the web project. So you have a web developer who does the programming or coding in PHP, Java, or Flash etc. The developer thus ties these things together and also works with the database structure, in case if your site deals with database structure.
The developer does the connection to other websites like Facebook interfacing or Twitter interfacing etc. So a developer engineers the program that makes the website run properly.
Some of you might want to know that Can I hire a person who is both a web designer or web developer? Then the answer is Yes! You can.
These people are called by different names like Hybrid - designer or User Experience Designer and these people usually do both i.e. Web Designing as well as Web Developing and they are usually skilled in user experience i.e. What does the user wants to do on their website and how does the user reach his/her goals? Now more and more people are emerging with these skills.
Usually, a good web designer focuses on the designing part of the website or project. It is good to have someone who really focuses on these graphical part of the website or project and it's really good to have someone who is really sincere about designing. At the same time, it is really good to see someone who is really good at developing a program behind the website or application.
But some people really love doing both i.e. web designing and web developing and they love to be creative i.e. designing the graphical part of the website as well as styling the website. There are some people who think that with this ability you cannot focus on both designing and coding things. They think that there is a lot more to learn in this case, who some people don't like to do. But if you are really interested in doing both the things then you should do it and you will definitely become good with it at some point.
