Web design is the process of creating and arranging the visual elements and
functional aspects of a website to make it user-friendly, visually appealing, and efficient.
It involves the layout, color schemes, fonts, graphics, and interactive features that define how a website looks and feels to users.
There are two main aspects of web design:
UI Design (User Interface Design): Focuses on the appearance, including layout, colors, and typography, ensuring the site looks good.
Web development refers to the process of building and maintaining websites. It focuses on the technical side of a website, involving coding, programming, and ensuring that the site functions properly across devices and platforms.
Web development can be broadly divided into three categories:
Front-end Development: Deals with the visible part of the website that users interact with (like layout, buttons, and visuals). Technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are commonly used here.
Back-end Development: Focuses on the server-side of a website, including databases, servers, and applications. It ensures that the website runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Full-Stack Development: Combines both front-end and back-end development, covering all aspects of website creation.
Web developers work closely with web designers to bring design concepts to life and make them functional.
