Design typically happens first, usually in a tool like Figma, producing static or interactive mockups that show exactly how each page should look and behave before a single line of production code is written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Development then translates that visual design into working code, handling everything the design mockup can&#8217;t show, such as how the site connects to a database, processes form submissions, handles different screen sizes responsively, and loads efficiently. A designer and a developer often work iteratively together, since some design decisions (like a particular animation or layout) may need to be adjusted once a developer identifies technical constraints or performance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some professionals work across both disciplines (particularly on smaller projects), but larger website projects typically involve separate design and development specialists, since each requires a distinct and deep skill set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website design decides how a site looks and how users experience it (layout, colours, typography, user flow), while website development is the technical process of actually coding those designs into a functioning, interactive site using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
