All About ELATT
30 September 2024
Web Design is the visual aspect, the functional aspect, as well as the user experience (UX) and interface of a website; Any visuals, be they images or text, such as the header and footer of the website, navigation bars, even the specific placements of advertisements on a webpage are all plotted and planned out by the UX designers and the visual/graphic designers to make sure the website is visually appealing, coherent, and to ensure information is placed in such a way that it is as easy and effortless to access as possible.
The specific layout of a website, the placement of buttons, navigation bars, input fields, search bars, potentially checkouts and item baskets on a website made for shopping, among other things are all the user interface (UI) of a website, being what a web browser such as yourself would use to interact with the website.
Web Development is the actual implementation of the designs created by the visual/graphic and UX designers as well as development of front-end systems (design, user experience, general functionality) and back-end systems (server hosting, cybersecurity). The most common tools used for development of websites are HTML (HyperText Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript/TypeScript, there are also libraries such as jQuery that make development of websites a lot easier by lessening the amount of work that needs to be done on basic things such as animating parts of a website or adding interactive elements.
In a nutshell; web design is how a website looks and feels, and how an end-user would interact with it and web development is the implementation of the design, look, feel, and interface of a website using tools such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
