In the website development industry there is great confusion to what the difference are between a website designer, website developer, and a website programmer. Below I am going to explain the differences so that you will have a better understanding of who you need to higher or where you fit in the website development process.
Website Designer
A website designer is an individual who designs the logo and the layout of the website in such programs as Photoshop.
Website Developer
A website developer is an individual who designs the layout of the website and “cuts” it up into a working website using CSS stylesheets.
Website Programmer
A website programmer is an individual who takes the “cut-up” website and adds functionality such as a shopping cart, content management system, etc.
