A web developer creates website with html, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and other programming language however not all web developer has a knowledge in programming as some of them are building website with Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, OpenCart, etc. Additionally, a web developer can handle a server when they have ASP.NET (C#), Java, Go, PHP, and Python skills.
A web designer duties are planning, building and maintaining websites and also, they are responsible for aesthetic and convenience of website. A web designer does not need to have programming knowledge, as their responsibility is to ensure that the website or web application is attractive, easy to use, error-free, and efficient. To create best user experience, the designer will do a research and analysis on customer behavior which is depend on the industry, testing, and create a clean design that can easily find the needs of the user. For instance, the important text or message of website should have a font that is big, vibrant color and have effects like blinking to easily get the user’s attention. When the web designer finishes all the steps for design then the web developer will start to build the websites.
When a web developer and web designer work as a team they can create a project that is more likely to succeed. They are like pepper and salt that can make the steaks taste better.
