Front end developer vs web designer?

Here's how I see it:

Web designers are primarily concerned with layout and style, and maybe interaction/experience design but may or may not need to write the code for their designs, depending on the organization.

Front-end developers may do a lot of design work, but are probably expected to know how to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

That said, I think it varies a lot between organizations—some may have clearly defined responsibilities for these two roles, while others may use them more interchangeably.

The positions somewhat meld into each other. A web designer could be like a Architect for a website and they may also go beyond just the website depending on who you ask providing an entire experience for a business on all fronts. A Front End Developer is the contractor that builds it. A web designer likely knows how to communicate with the developer and how to implement some design elements using code. The Front End developer has experience getting that input from the Web Designer or has started out as a web designer themselves and learned more coding each one of these roles could have intimate knowledge about the other's role. To a user and even some companies, the role may be the same.

Thanks for the responses guys! Certainly clears it up a lot for me, thank you!
