Web Design v. Web Development

Through a site survey at 129 Web Design & Marketing, our site visitors defined web development and web design. Let us know what you think.

Web Design is typically used to describe the process of designing a graphical representation of content shown in the form of a Web page or a Web site — a collection of web pages. The fundamental design of most web pages use HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Typically, this is a more artistic person.

Web Development is typically used to describe the process of using computer programming within a web context to assemble similar and disparate data into web pages. For example, a web developer may develop a web page that communicates with a database that contains information on your products. Typically, this is a more mathematically and logic centered person.
