Web Design Vs Web Development

Try we will talk about the two most important aspects of the website development - Web design and development. These two aspects are compliments to each other, skipping anyone is not possible in any case.

What Is Web Designing?

Web designing is a process that starts with creating the webpages, enabling hosting to everything else that is required to make the website online. It encompasses different skills and disciplines while developing and post-deployment of the website. 

The web designing defines the abstract designing, navigation on pages, data flow, layout of the website. Web design also helps to simplify the website usage and make it less complex for the user. It involves the standards for building and Rendering Web pages, including HTML, CSS, SVG, device APIs, and other technologies for Web Applications. A web designer is responsible to do the following tasks

For creating the layout they usually use WordPress, Joomla, Drupal Services (Installation, Theming, Customization)

Facebook Mini-Sites are part of web designing

Landing Pages, Splash Pages, Templates (Predesigned and Customized)

Sometimes 3D Animation is also included

Server Side Scripting (such as PHP+MYSQL, ASP . NET, etc) - to accommodate the dynamic operation of your website

Submission to Google and other search engines.

Integration with Google Analytics or other web analytics software.

What Is Web Development?

The process of web development starts right there where web designing ends. Web designers and web developers have to develop the website together. As the web developer makes the pages alive which were created by the designer and dummy to shows you how it will look like at the end. 

So all the dummy pages are coded by a web developer. And those pages are attached by the database, then server-side hosting is done by the web designer. 

The process of web development includes creating two components - Front end, back end. The front end is for the user, it’s an interface through which a user can communicate to you or know about your provided service. The back end fetches the data from the database, and run all the program which is instructed by the front end, simply resolving the queries asked by the user. 

The age-old languages that were used to create the website were Perl, PHP. They are still alive but the new ones which make the process easy and faster took the place. Now the languages like Python, Ruby, JavaScript and derivatives, .NET is capturing the market. 

You will need different frameworks to create the front end and back end. But there are many other web frameworks that allow you to create both front end and backend with one language, like Django for Python.
