Web designer is a person who focuses on the design of a site. They often build the CSS and graphics for a site and are focused on how the site looks to customers. A
Web developer is more of a programmer. They often build the HTML (and sometimes CSS) for a site as well as the JavaScript, databases, and server-side programming. While I realize that most of us do at least a little (or a lot) of both of these disciplines, there is one that you focus more on. I left off the option "both" deliberately because I want to know what you do more of, even if it's 50.1% design and 49.9% development. Choose "neither" if you do something else on a website like provide content or you are still learning and don't have a focus yet.
I see web designing a more interesting job as it makes you more interactive with the world than just doing the back end work. For that purpose, i needed to learn web designing that i am doing now a day.
If I have to choose I guess I’ll say developer because thats how I spend most of my time.
Since I work independently, I had to lean more toward “Developer” than “Designer” if only because the development tends to take longer time-wise. That, and when I get contracted out for work, it tends to be more in a development position.
Honestly though, it’s my professional opinion that both positions require a pretty thorough understanding of the other in order to be most effective.
Developer more, I like coding in PHP, but also HTML is the “face” of work, but I focus more on developing.
I would consider myself more of a Developer. I tinker with styles and templates provided by others, because of the time constraints laid on me to publish a site after I take a contract.
I tailor the effort to meet a need, from what is available from design houses, to the products and services that are in my queue. I am a beginner at all of the processes, but find coding easiest to understand. HTML and CSS efforts make some weird kind of sense to me.
