Web design vs. Web development Web design includes both the aesthetics and usefulness of a website. To construct the layout and other visual elements of a website, web designers use design applications such as Adobe Photoshop. Web developers, on the other hand, take a website design and turn it into a fully functional site. To bring the design files to life, web developers employ HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and other programming languages.
Web Design ● Previously, web design was mostly focused on creating websites for desktop browsers; but, since the mid-2010s, mobile and tablet browser design has become increasingly essential. ● A web designer is responsible for a website's appearance, layout, and, in certain situations, content. For example, appearance refers to the colours, typography, and images utilised. The way information is organised and grouped is referred to as layout. ● A good web design is simple to use, aesthetically pleasant, and appropriate for the website's target audience and brand. Many webpages are created with a focus on simplicity, with no unnecessary content or functionality that could confuse or distract users. ● Responsive and adaptive design are two of the most prominent ways for creating websites that perform effectively on both desktop and mobile devices. Content changes dynamically according to screen size in responsive design; in adaptive design, website content is fixed in layout sizes that match popular screen sizes.
Web Development: ● The term "web development" refers to the process of designing, developing, and maintaining websites. Web design, web publishing, web development, and database management are all included. It is the building of an internet-based application, such as a website. ● Front-end web development, sometimes referred to as client-side development, is the process of creating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a website or Web application so that a user can see and interact with it directly.
