Web Design and Web development are often misinterpreted for their similarity in names; however they are entirely different in operation and functionality, though they depend on each other.
If you are looking for a job in the related field or looking to make a website you need to know the difference at least in general terms.
What a viewer sees on his screen is the work of a web designer, it is more concerned with how the site looks and how a customer interacts with it. Designers understand the usability of the site and how a customer would like to navigate around. It includes logos, graphics and other advanced elements to make the site more attractive and user friendly.
Web development is the back end of a website that makes a website actually work. The programming that drives a website to work or can be seen as building the engine of an automobile. Web developers add the functionality to a website.
Both are different professions, finding professionals to do both are difficult. In most cases people doing web designing do not do web developing. Web designers do not do programing and programmers are not graphic artists, each profession requires enough work for their own.
Having said that web developer do not always require a lot of design from a web designer, because sometimes they have to forego some overloaded graphics to focus on usability. Meaning sometimes when the graphics overload the programming process while using the customers get distracted due to its slow functionality, under these conditions the developer will be doing most of the design in a textual manner from material provided by website owner and a few clip art images. The logos and page headers are the only advanced design components when it comes to design.
