The famous question: What is the difference between a Web designer and a Web developer?
According to Kunle Adewunmi, CEO WebSignature and Web Services Toronto, “Web development is supposed to focus on developing back end web applications (db integration, jsp, servlets, asp, etc), while a web designer should focus only on the front end (html coding, flash, css, java script). However a lot of organizations tend to blend these two fields and gray out a lot of the differences”.
Paul Olawale, Web Specialist at Cyberspace ISP, Lagos, also had this to say: “In a web project cycle, a web designer comes up with the aesthetic design of the pages, graphics design, page layouts/structures, etc. A web developer collects what a designer does and put them all together in web pages. He does the development, uploading, maintenance, programming/scripting, and back end database design for interactive sites. But the fact is that for many projects a single person assumes both roles”.
Web design and development are interrelated. Even if you specialize you find that a 'Web developer' with analytic skills may need to be conversant with design to a certain extent while a “Web designer” with artistic skills should also have some development know-how. Interestingly many employers make no distinction at all between a designer and a developer.
I hope you've gain something from this article.
