**lemon_1800** · 29-05-09, 07:15

Friends, I'm still confused about the difference between "web designer" and "web developer".

Here is what I can understand :
web designer means those people who create banners and make spicy our websites with nice design using flash or something.
Web developer means those people who creates html or script in a webpage.

Or else, do they have same meaning?

Hope someone will help me.

Web designer is the person who makes the website looks and feels good where as developer is the person who makes it happen.

Web designer is one who designs a website without any client interaction and web developer is one who designs as well as develops a client interaction site with programming involved in it

of all the above given things this one is correct.I think the developer used the most times client side application and can make pages from scratch.

So friend basically you mean web developer is the webmaster, and web designer is just a designer whose task is to create banners and attractive templates, or layouts? right?

But designer is the person whose work can't be ignored because after a successful layout one developer can develop a site.

But I think even designer need to have scripts knowledge because he can create attractive templates or layouts only with nice html codes and other scripts. So I guess even web designer is a web developer.

A good web-designer will know some knowledge of scripting as it will be good for developing a good site

Basically a web designer is an architect of whole website, as he deals in the gui of the same!
Whereas the web developer is the one who writes all the code i.e. backend of the website!
