Wondering what the difference is between website development and design? We find that many businesses looking to create a website are confused about the difference in these two complementary, but unique processes. If you’re looking to build a web presence, then here’s the lowdown on each process:
Web Development
What It Is: The process by which a website is built, using coding language spoken by computers, techies, and search engine robots.
Who Does It: A Web Developer that eats, sleeps, and breathes code.
Why It’s Important: Without web development, the Internet would be a series of vacant domains. Web development builds the sites that inhabit domains.
Web Design
What It Is: The creative portion of building a website. Web design encompasses style elements including color theory, layout, planning for motion elements, etc.
Who Does It: A Graphic Designer that specializes in the digital space, and knows web development.
Why It’s Important: If you don’t want a cookie-cutter website built from a template, then web design is important for making your site truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
