What's the difference between a web designer and a web developer?
Great question!

The web designer will design the aesthetic and layout of your website, using programs such as Photoshop to design and structure a well-branded asset for your business.
A web developer will then take the design and actually build the website, writing code and using content management systems to make sure the website is fully-functional.
