Website, back-end, front-end, UX: brief interview with an experienced web design and developer in Malta to understand more about this topic and the importance for your company in Malta
What is Web Design?
As the word itself says, web design means planning, designing and creating a website, taking care of the development of a project to communicate content to user through text, images, videos and interactive media.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Well, among web professionals, “web development” usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding.
Very often when you work in a web agency, clients ignore this subtle difference, but the design and development of websites are certainly two different aspects.
In our digital marketing agency in Malta we offer both Web Design and Web Development services.
What are the skills of a web designer and web developer?
In a very general way we can say that the web developer deals with the back-end programming and the web designer is able to manage the front-end and therefore the graphic and visual aspect, however many professionals have both skills. Specifically, a web designer has knowledge of HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Illustrator, and other similar software, while a web developer has knowledge of HTML, PHP, Java, .Net, Python, MYSQL, etc.
Why are web design and development important for a business in Malta?
Nowadays, being on the internet is essential for a company that wants to succeed, because it is the most immediate and direct way to acquire new customers. Of course, having a website does not automatically mean being visible and effective on the internet. First of all it is important that the site is easily navigable, user friendly and able to adapt to any device (smartphone, tablet, desktop), then it is essential that it be made visible through search engine optimization techniques (SEO) and that is integrated into a wider digital marketing strategy.
