1: What is the Difference Between a Graphic Designer, a Website Designer and a Developer? How Can They Help Me?

1. Graphic Designers:

  • Graphic designers focus on creating images.
  • They do not design websites, but some may have a talent for it.
  • They will not code up a website for you.

2. Website Designers:

  • Website designers translate what you have in mind (or your vision) into an actual, tangible website.
  • They design the entire website layout for you, and will create all the images and graphics that form part of the web design.
  • They have a good coding knowledge to code up a website. However, their coding chops are not as robust as developers (coder).

3.Developers / Coders:

  • Good developers can build almost any type of website you can think of.
  • Most developers are not good designers. So don’t rely on a developer to design your website.
  • A capable developer and a good graphic designer can make a great team. But this approach has its own pros and cons.
