Are you looking for a website developer? Or a web designer
will be enough?
Actually you will need both.
People these days get confused and use these terms
interchangeably. Actually, Web design
and website development are the two
different aspects of website building
process.
Let’s check both terms individually.
Web
Design vs. Website Development
Web design refers to
the process of converting idea into a visible design. Web Designers use
different tools like XD, Photoshop, framer etc. On the other hand, website development is the process of
converting those designs into a workable website.
Web design is not as simple as it looks.
Web
Design
It is the most important part of website building process.
Web Designers convert your ideas, objectives and stories into
an attractive visual form. I consider it as the most important part because
this will define how your website will look.
Web Design defines the digital impression of any organization.
When you need a website the designers read all the necessary
documents and prepare a wireframe (website sketch). They are also responsible
for effectively adding components and services so that users can use a website
with an ease.
Also,
Website is
for users,
therefore, designers must consider how users will navigate
throughout the website with an efficient placement of contact details.
The website design
should align with the objective of website. Depending on the services and
business type designers choose the right color and place contents on priority
basis.
Website Development
The finalized design must be converted into a website. Hence,
web developers play their role in turning web designs into a proper website.
The development process can be further divided into two:
1. Front End
Development and
2. Back end
Development.
In Front-end Development, developers break the
non-interactive designs into small components. The components are then re-organize
using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and JavaScript
(JS) to make a static website.
It is also known as web
template or HTML Template. This
template can be used but you won’t be able to update or maintain without
technical assistance.
For this, we need back-end developers.
They add the dynamic features to HTML templates using languages
like PHP, .net and so on.
Once the back-end developers are done with their work,
clients can now maintain and update their website on their own. A form is
provided in the admin section to change the content and make necessary updates.
That’s not all.
We also have a full stack developer who can perform all the
above tasks alone. Global Interface Pvt.
Ltd. do not prefer using full stack developer because we believe in working
with professionals.
We can’t say they are not good, some of the full stack
developers are really good in each part of website building process.
But,
Technology changes fast than one can update themselves. It’s
very hard to keep track of all these aspects of website development process. We
must have knowledge of each section of website development process with
specialized in one.
This brings best result for both clients and developers.
