Difference between Web Design and Web Development

[philipking]

The Difference between Web Design and Web Development has been a subject of discussion for quite some time, whether those wondering are average Internet users or a manager at a business. Because they are similar, or at least appear to be, many people confuse them. A web designer plays their own important role in how a website comes together. They are responsible for coming up with a visual design that is both appealing and professional, depending on the needs of the client.Web Development has a different place when it comes to making a website public. They do not spend hours drawing up a layout for the website. They do not take on worries such as what is an appropriate color scheme and what users will find visually appealing.

Its pretty simple web design is used to design layout of your website whereas development is required to put functionality in a website.

Web design is the customer facing part of the website. It is depended with how a site looks and how the customers interact with it. Web development is the back end of the website, the programming and communicate on the pages.

Web Designing: It's about designing and looks of websites.
Web Development: It's about programing of website.

Web Design aims at what web looks， while the Web Development aims at how web works. Both are significant for a successful website.

Nice question asked.some times people got confused but i think after seeing all the replies on this thread its very simple to answer this question.
Simply web design means just give a design layout to the site and web development means add functions on the site.
