9,799 PointsHi ya, Now thats a question which can cause a war between developers and designers.. Lol. But the simple answer would be that designers work on look and feel of the website as for example creating the graphics, logos hence using softwares like photoshop fireworks and illustrator. Developers are the people who make sure that whatever they the designer have come up .. how he can implement it in the browser... Although now a days a designer's role has changed a lot. As they broadly categorize it as frontend developers and backend developers.
Front-end developers are responsible for how you actually see the website and backend developers take care of what is happening behind the scenes. hope that helps
