subject: Web design and development are not same [print this page] Website development is the technical side of website creation. It is the coding and scripting of the site which makes the grumble work for the visitors. It makes things like shopping carts, payment processes, subscriptions, content uploading etc. the web developers have the skills to build bespoke applications or softwares to work on your website (like CRM tools, content management system etc). The code friendly designers can create the functionality of the website along with the visual site of the site. You cannot choose the better option out of the both, as website design and development both are crucial for the success of the website. Pure designers have very little website designing experience, and if you ask them to make the website functional then it would be like fixing the car by focusing on the paintwork. If you want a site to generate heavy traffic and process payment then you would have to work with both designer and developer. And if you require just a static website with few pages, then it hardly matters, if you hire an inexperience developer.
