Our team are often asked what the difference is between web design & web development. Essentially web design refers to the appearance and usability of a website. Our web designers use applications like Photoshop to design the layout and visuals of web pages.
In contrast, web development is the process of turning a website design into a functioning website. Web developers use programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript & PHP to creating working versions of the design files created by web designers.
So What Is The Difference?
