The Difference Between Website Design and Website Development

You may ask what is the difference between website design and website development

When you think about the difference between website design and website development you can compare it to the difference between architecture and construction.

Website design deals with the appearance inclusive of the layout, colors, interaction between links etc related to a website or application while the website development deals with the implementation or the "how" part of the process. This includes method of implementation and programming of the website or software.

When designing a website the designer must be creative. In addition it is necessary that the website designer contact the client and fully understand what is required;
the priorities and requirements. This will enable the website designer to create a suitable design for the requirements. Colors also needs to be taken into careful consideration and also the appearance as it relates to the client's marketing needs and wishes they may have.

The website developers may need to perform a feasibility study with the designers in the initial phases of the website development. Sometimes the expectation of the designers is very high
and often exceeds the limits of the technology available to the website developers. Thus the developers may need to find the best way they can develop the website without interfering
too much with the look and feel of the product.

Once a company accepts the design presented to them the website designers will then present the model to the website developers.
The developers in turn will analyze the model and decide what is possible and what needs to be reconsidered or altered.
Then an actual technical solution that best suits the design will be implemented.
It is not necessary that the website developers know why certain colors are preferred; they just need to follow the website design specifications. However, the website developer may call a meeting with the company and the website designers to inform them about anything that is beyond the scope of their technology and decide on a more suitable way of developing their website.

To ensure quality work which is expected by all clients it is essential for website designers and website developers to work together.
It is important to note though that both of them have different parts to play in the overall development of the website;
website designers are focused on the appearance and website developers on the foundation just like architect with its constructors.
