What is a web developer, a web designer and web programmer are some of the most common questions regarding website creation. In this blog we will try to explain in as much detail on what is a web developer, a designer and a programmer.
The difference between web programmer, web designer and web developer.
- Does your website look amazing and is designed perfectly but it doesn’t work the way it should?
- Does your website looks like a website built in the 90’s but the functions it has are just the way you wanted it to be?
- Or does your website look nice and has the features you’ve been looking for?
If you answered ‘YES’ to the third question you may not read this article. If you answered ‘YES’ to questions 1 and 2, well you may need to continue reading the following article.
- Many of you have websites that are either malfunctioning or not good to look at.
- Many of the websites that exist, for various reasons, are either well designed or well programmed.
This happens because a professional designer installs DreamViewer and takes over all the work of creating the website. The same thing happens with programmers, they install Photoshop and declare that the website will be created by them.
Below I will explain the roles of Web Designer, Web Programmer and Web Developer.
Web Designer
Web Designer creates website layout/design, they do not care about the standards that a web should have as long as its design looks good. Web Designers are familiar with Adobe products such as Photoshop, illustrator, etc., probably have basic knowledge of programming languages like HTML and CSS. Maybe they even have an installation copy of DreamViewer that can only get them into trouble.
Web Programmer
Programmers are experts in various languages like PHP, JAVA, C ++, MySQL, ASP.NET etc.
Programmers may have even installed Photoshop but lack design creativity.
They create website structures / plans but don’t want to know about web standards.
Web Developer
A web developer is a mix of web designer and web programmer in one person. They require clean standards, code and design, and the latest trends in web development.
So when you decide to create a website, it is better to hire just one Web Developer rather than a Web Designer and a Web Programmer. And I ensure that your website will look beautiful and it will have the features you have requested.
In conclusion, look for Web Developers and skip looking only for designers or programmers. Make exceptions only if they are friends, a team or family members, if they are so I believe they would do a great job.
You want proof of what I said, just click google on any web and you will see that there are thousands of websites that either lack quality design or have no function at all.
