WEB DESIGNING vs. WEB DEVELOPMENT

WEB DESIGNING vs. WEB DEVELOPMENT

Take any product you have bought recently and look at it closely. Setting aside its primary purpose, what actually convinced you to buy it? Is it the appearance or its effectiveness? If this is the first time you have bought the product, you probably have picked it up assuming it would do what its manufacturer claims it does. If the product did not have the label or the package it presently has, would it make a difference to the way you perceive it? What if the product is wrapped or packed in a dull and unimpressive manner. Would you still buy it? Most of us would not unless you know the effectiveness of the product.

However, where first impression counts, appearance does matter. This applies to every product or service; even a website. If a website does not look appealing, the chances of a visitor proceeding to read the content on it is reduced drastically. On the contrary, a visually impressive web portal will motivate the visitor to find out what the website has to offer.

A web designer deals with the inclusion of the layout, colors and link interaction in a website to enhance its overall appearance. This is where his imaginative and creative skills are needed. While adhering to the client’s requirements in terms of colors, theme and style; the web designer should also be able to create a suitable design that ‘packages’ the business in the best way possible.

So where does that leave the web developer? Well, web development also plays a key role in every website. The web developer creates the entire backbone or infrastructure for a web portal. Without it, even the most attractive web design will be gathering virtual dust in cyber space. A website with a fabulous design but without the ability to function, would probably pass off as a wallpaper.

Web developing is the implementation of various web applications onto a web design, resulting in a fully functional website. This has to be done without altering or interfering with the web design. In each project, our developers work closely with the web designers in the initial stages as it helps them to meet the expectations of the web designers and the client respectively.

As soon as the client approves of a particular web design, it is then passed onto the developers who analyze the model and decide on the technical solutions that would be suitable for the project.

It is essential for developers and designers to work closely in each project and thus they share the responsibilities as a team. At tiwebdevelopment.com each designer and developer is a team player, striving to excel in every task and bring out the best in every project.

Although most web development professionals tend to unconsciously omit the designing aspect of the team in their technical terminology, they are aware of the fact that web designing is an equally important aspect for each website.

The only difference between web designing and web development is that while one deals with the appearance of the website, the other constructs the entire system that makes the website usable.
