Yes, there are differences between Web Design and Web Development. Below are some of the key differences:
While web design focuses primarily on the visual and aesthetic aspects of a website, web development is concerned with the technical and functional aspects of the website.
Web design emphasizes user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. On the other hand, web development emphasizes coding, programming, and integrating functionalities.
The key tasks of a web designer are : creating the layout, color scheme, typography; designing wireframes, mockups, and prototypes; ensuring the design is responsive and accessible across different devices and screen sizes. He takes care of the overall look of the website. Meanwhile, a web developer tasks are: writing and maintaining the code for the website using various programming languages; developing both front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) functionalities; ensuring the website is fast, secure, and scalable.
