Web design and Web development are both important elements of the World Wide Web and Information Technology. A lot of times, these two concepts and their practical applications are confused to be one and the same or used interchangeably. Web design is concerned with the aesthetic portion of the website, and its usability. Web designers create the layout of the websites and the other visual elements of the websites. It involves so many different skills and knowledge in designing and maintaining websites, the graphic design, interface design, authoring, including standardized code and propriety software, user experience design and Search Engine Optimization. Web designs creates the front-end (client side) design of a website.
Web development is the process of making a website functional and responsive. That is, the coding and programming language to bring to the design files, (front-end and back-end) that makes a website tick. Web development can range from developing a simple static page of plaintext to complex web-based internet application, electronic businesses and Social Network Sites. This process is mainly the writing of mark up and codes, web engineering, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration and e-commerce development.
Web design is pushed by a driving force of ingenuity and creativity, an ever-growing set of new tools and technologies to build more dynamic and interactive websites that are user-friendly, easy-to-use and ubiquitous. Information and Communication and Technology through web design influences transformative communications, sociotechnical influences and behavior modelling. As a result of technological advancement and innovation, deeper understanding of cybernetic and algorithms, a plethora of tools and technologies are available. These tools and techs make web design possible and effective while offering different capabilities, specialties, functions and distinct features.
