Hello..
both the terms Web designer and Web developer are different..A web designer is concerned with how a site looks and how the customers interact with it and A web developer focuses on how a site works and how the customers get things done on it...

Well, they are different and let’s understand the difference between a web designer and a web developer. Web design is the front-end of the website while web development is the back end of the website. A web designer mainly focuses on how a site looks while web development mainly focuses on how a site works. The web designers generally use graphic design softwares just like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver while the web developers generally use various programming language just like PHP, asp.net and many more.
