Web development and web designing both are integral part of a website. But before building a website you must know about the difference between web development & web designing. Web development includes all functionalities of the site and web designing includes the overall look of the site.

Basically a website comprises of things such as look & feel, style of presentation, content relevancy, functionality and usability of the site.

Web site look & feel:

Web site's look and feel depends upon design of the template, flash & graphics used, color format of the site, navigation and general combination of content, design and navigation.

Style of presentation:

It includes the way you are interacting with your visitors or customers. Are your visitors receiving the matter they are looking? Are you visitors relaxed with your site navigation and content?

Content relevancy:

Content of the website should be relevant. Content contains information, services & products present on the site as per the page title of the site.

Functionality of the site:

Functionality deals with the coding of the site. How are you providing interactive features on the site for visitors, such as search option, user registration or forums?

Usability:

Site should be user-friendly. The things to concentrate are easy navigation, usefulness and easy interaction. How web design and web development are linked? Coordination between both design team and development team is important to make a site online. So web designers have to take care of whole web site's design such as graphic design, flash design, images etc. Applying flash, graphics, user-friendly navigation & content combination of the site is work of a web designer.

Web developers are responsible for the functionality included into the site. Making HTML pages and integrating the programs, adding functionality, making site more usable is the work of web developers.

So both web development and web design are needed simultaneously to make a site perfect. Both are integrated with each other.
