Web Designers are of the creative type.  They have a knack for getting inside of their clients' heads and realizing their clients' vision.  They take this vision and masterfully convert it into an aesthetically pleasing, artistic design that aims to impress millions of potential viewers.  Some designers study typography, user interface design, and usability.

 

Web Developers are usually more technical in nature.  They tend to have excellent problem solving skills and are generally good at math.

thanks for the invitation;

web designer considered as the architect the one how design the web site in matters of usability and ease of use for the customer he is also considered as front face of customers Web design typically refers to the process of designing a web site or web page layout and often includes the graphical elements on a page. The design can be developed using a graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, Corel Draw etc and provides the framework for the look and feel of a web page. (colours , button shapes and colours) and some designer can use (HTML, CSS)

BUT

web developer considered as the builder how makes the page layout real and make all the functions work properly and di the services that they are meant for. he is the one who is responsible to write the inner code using code languages (C#, Java, ASP.NET, PHP , etc ...)

a web-developer will be responsible for developing and coding server side applications, databases, complex e-commerce transactions, and for search engine optimization – naturally, a web-developer must make certain that these are done in an accessible and sensible fashion, while being efficiently coded and highly compatible.

Website Designer who creates templates, mainly the interface for the website, which would be user friendly & pleasable.For a website, rather than elements, information is more important, so linking these informations with elements in the user interface & make the spinal cord of the website is by Web Developer

A web designer:

  • Focuses on look and feel of a website
  • Uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Is competent in color scheming, graphic design, and information flow
  • Creates a great user experience
  • Is right-brained: Strong intuition, creativity, & imagination
  • Portfolio is worth more than a degree

A web developer:

  • Creates the inner workings of a website
  • Is competent in programming languages (PHP, .NET, Python, C, Ruby)
  • Develops the user interface
  • Is left-brained: logic, linear thinking, technical
  • Hands-on coding experience is required (either your own products or github)

Web design is the customer-facing part of the website. A web Designer is concerned with how a site looks and how the customers interact with it. Its job is more for the look and feel of a website or a web application. A web designer's work is more concerned with photoshop, CSS, HTML,etc.Web development is the back-end of the website, the programming and interactions on the pages. A web developer focuses on how a site works and how the customers get things done on it. Its work is more concerned with the programming part fro developing the functionalities of a website or a web application.
