There are often a lot of debate online about a web designer and a web developer, most people tend to believe that a web developer is superior and vice versa but with this article you will be able to separate the wheat from the chaff and you will be able to know how both works.

A web designer deals with the design of a website, that is the aesthetics and over all look of a website from colors, fonts and structure, this is the work of a web designer, they mostly specializes in making use of no code tools like wordpress, wix and other plug and play tools.

A web developer on the other hand deals with the building components from scratch and other engineering aspect of it and web developers build complex tools for web designers to use, so, if you understand this dynamic you will see that they both need each other to function and to an extent the conversation should never be about who is superior but about collaboration by both working hand in hand to ensure a more robust ecosystem and to deliver value to end users.

I hope you are now cleared on the differences between the both.
