Web Design vs Web Development – What is the difference?

Web Design vs Web Development – What is the difference

In the website building industry the customers often took same meaning of the website design and website development, but in reality both are entirely different areas. Mostly when customers need a website they often come across the two terms, ‘website design’ and ‘website development’. Almost 90% of the customers don’t understand the difference between the two and often interchange the both terminologies. Actually the main factor that cause this confusion among the non-technical people is that the ‘design’ and ‘development’ words if come next to the website are only referred to the website building and nothing else. But both have entirely different meaning from the website building prospective. In fact the two terms ‘design’and ‘development’ are entirely different from each other and even when used generally people perceive them as two different terms. However when it comes to the websites they both got mixed up. In this blog we will elaborate the differences of the website design and website development along with the areas where both intersected each other.

Website Designing

Website Designing

The website designing is a process of creating the website layout and user interface. Everything from the color scheme and fonts to images and content is arranged in a structure to form a website design. This process is called website designing. These days the website designing is a very complex and lengthy process. With the increase of smartphones and social media, mostly people are spending their time on the smartphones. Which raise the importance of the web design and user interaction. The online company presence can also generate a huge chunk of sales and revenue which makes it extremely important to have a business oriented design approach in which the user interaction, user experience and customer journey is designed with extreme care to boost online sales.

The website designing requires certain skills and tools such as:

  1. Graphic Designer
  2. UI/UX Designer
  3. Photoshop, Illustrator

The website designing process includes the following steps:

1. Requirement Gathering

Requirement Gathering

This is the very first step of any website designing and website development project. The website designer or web design agency will have to sit with the customer to discuss their needs and objectives. This step mostly include multiple discussions and brain storming.The objective is to form a scope of the work for the website.

2. Sitemap

Sitemap

Once the requirement gathering is done and a scope is formed the next step is to create a sitemap of the website. The sitemap is a list of all the pages, categories, sub-categories and the entire blueprint of the website. The sitemap is used to enlist the content/pages of the website and it also dictates the navigational structure of the website design.

3. Wireframe

Wireframe

The wireframe is a basic visual representation of the website layout and different elements. It also provides a visual representation of the website design. The wireframe is in fact the very first stage of the actual website design. Usually the website wireframe are made as geometrical shapes such as boxes and rectangles or as such. These wireframe provide a better understanding of what a customer should expect from the final website design.

4. Mockup Design

Mockup Design

The mockup design is the first actual website design that is being presented to the customer. The mockup is a fully designed webpage. The very first page that is designed is the homepage of the website. Once the homepage is designed a basic structure and frame of the entire website is set. The header, footer, theme, color scheme, structure, etc all should be followed for the internal pages as well. After the homepage all of the internal pages are designed.

Website Development

Website Development

Once the website designing process is complete then the next phase is the website development. The web design is just an image it doesn’t have any functionality or interaction yet. The website design is like a car without engine, the website development will put that engine inside the car to let it run. The website development is basically programing and is entirely consists of the source code and the processes that are invisible from the website visitors. These processes are running behind the scene and are responsible for the user interaction. The programing will decide which area is clickable and which is not, which image will move or which will not, etc. It is basically all the movements and clicks that we can see or do in the website which form our interaction and experience with the website.

The website development requires certain skills and tools:

  1. Website Frontend Programmer
  2. Website Backend Programmer
  3. HTML, CSS, Java Script Code, PHP and MySQL
  4. Dreamviewer

The website development process includes the following steps:

1. Requirement Gathering

Requirement Gathering

The requirement gathering for the website development is not like the requirement gathering for the website designing. In fact this time the requirement gathering is being done with the internal team between the programmer who will be doing the frontend and backend programing of the website and the design team and project manager or team lead. At this stage the objective of requirement gathering is to understand how different sections of the website should work and respond to the users.

2. Slicing

Slicing

This is the very first step of the website development phase. Once a web design is ready, it is being transferred to the website developer team and the very first thing that is done is called “Slicing” during this step the web design is converted into different design elements and small pieces like a jigsaw puzzle to be later controlled by the source code to form the user interaction and user experience.

3. HTML, CSS and Frontend

HTML, CSS and Frontend

HTML is the programing language that is being used to control and form the layout of the website is the web browser. The HTML is a frontend development method and it not only includes the HTML but it also includes CSS and Java Script. These two are also programming languages and used to aid the HTML for visual and graphics effects and various interactions. Collectively all three the HTML, CSS and the Java Script are called the frontend programing of the website or the websitefrontend development.

4. PHP, MySQL and Backend

PHP, MySQL and Backend

The PHP and MySQL both are programming languages and are being used on the website server. These languages build a software or program which will executed at the server and generate results according to the inputs taken from the users through a web browser via the frontend of the website. These days most of the websites are dynamic. It means there is a CMS (content management system) to update the website information and content. The programing used to develop these all features is called website backend development.

Website Designing VS Website Development

Website Designing VS Website Development

Website designing and website development both are equally important and are necessary for website building. The website designing basically lay down the base and the structure of the website navigation. It means how the information will be presented to the user/visitor and how the visitor can access to the information from and through various sections and pages. The website design is extremely important in online sales and revenue generation. Each and every single color pattern or design element whether it is an image, a box, a button or the fonts is very important in forming the customer journey at the website.

However the website development is purely based on computer programing and is completely invisible to the visitors. The website development build necessary source code which allow users to perform certain action by any click or movement on the website. For example if a user click on the logo from the contact us page, it is the programing that decides that the homepage should be loaded. Or let say a user clicks on a Whatsapp icon on the website to start the whatsapp chat, it is the programing that opens up your whatsapp and start the chat. Although at front you can only see a single button but behind that button pages of source code are running to enable that functionality.

Why People Think Website Designing and Website Development are the same?

Why People Think Website Designing and Website Development are the same

In Dubai, UAE and local markets most customer think that the website designing and the website development both are the same. As I have mentioned above, these two are completely different from the website building prospective. However, still so many people think both are the same. The main reason is that in past (a few years ago) generally local markets were flooded with the static websites, which were only the HTML based websites and doesn’t have any backend or CMS software. At that time when a company or business needs to develop a website they were provided with a website designer or team of the designers who were also familiar with the website frontend development and can single handedly deliver a website. This made up a mentality among the masses, even today if we check the search engine statistics we will find that the search term “web design Dubai” has huge number of searches comparing to the search term “website development Dubai”. This is the reason people still confuse one with another and often interchange both terminologies.

Conclusion

The website designing and website development both are different. The website designing majorly includes the website structure, the theme, colors, fonts, patterns and each and everything a user can see in the web browser is done and planned during the website designing. However the website development is the source code and programing that runs behind the scene to let the computer execute commands and return the results. For example how a button will look like is done during the website designing phase and what that button will do is part of the website development phase. The website designing requires a completely different set of skills and it involves totally different tools and technology. The website designing mainly require a professional graphic designer and artist who utilize graphic designing tools to build a layout or design of the website. Whereas the website development requires a website programmer who needs programming tools to build the source code for the website. However in Dubai, UAE people more often consider them the same and usually interchange both terminologies expecting the same meaning from both of them which is website building.

Qualities of a Superior Web Design Company in Dubai

Qualities of a Superior Web Design Company in Dubai

As web designs are becoming an important part of the communication and marketing industry. All businesses are focusing more on their websites. Websites can easily make or break your online marketing strategies. Having almost all of the Dubai citizens with internet access and smartphones, the importance of a professional web design even escalated further. A web design is the visual and functional layout of a website that represents a company or business in the online domain. The user experience on the website will determine the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. This is why the number of web design companies in Dubai have risen exponentially. Businesses often get confused when it comes to selecting a reliable business partner for their website design and development needs. In this blog, we will enlist the traits of a superior web design company in Dubai which will help you select a web designing and development firm to fulfil your business’s online needs.

Step 1. Company Profile

Company Profile

Check for the company profile. Check the website, their About page, team information, brochures, etc. How appealing their company profile is? How professional does it look? Since how long they are operating in Dubai? These things will be the first step to shortlist web design companies in Dubai. For any web design agency, it is very important to have professional designing skills, although most of the web design companies in Dubai prefer to have a corporate look and feel rather a design-intensive look, it is important that their website’s functionalities and interaction are excellent. All the information required has to be available with easy access. And some other things like that. Once the list of shortlisted web design companies in Dubai is prepared then move to the next step.

Step 2. Company Portfolio

Company Portfolio

Now the next and most important step is to check the company portfolio. Who are their clients? Do they have well-known brands in their portfolio? Do they have any work samples? Are their work samples match the live websites of their customers? These things are important to consider. Explore their work, check the designs and try to understand the level of their professional skills and web designing capabilities. Specifically look for the design themes, if they are using a similar theme for all of their customers or do they have a diversity and design rich portfolio? These things will help you understand the professional level of the web design company.

Step 3. Contact the Company

Contact the Company

The next step is to contact the web design companies you have screened out from the first two steps. You can easily find their contact details on the home page, or bottom of the page or at the contact page. The best way is to send them an email and wait for their response. If any web design company don’t respond or respond too late, then simply drop them. If a company is so lazy to respond to its sales enquiries how would they go to respond to the support requests and other matters? So, leave them. Once you got a response, arrange a call. During the call ask them specifically about their past projects, their partners, their team and location. Although in Dubai the location doesn’t matter a lot closer is better. If a company says that their technical team is not in UAE or is located outside of the UAE, then leave them. Dealing with off-shore teams could be tricky.

Step 4. Arrange a Kick Start Meeting or Requirement Gathering Meeting

Arrange a Kick Start Meeting or Requirement Gathering Meeting

The next step is to arrange a meeting with the web design company team. Most of the companies at this stage request a presentation as well, so let them do their presentation too. Don’t be strict at this stage, let them present themselves. Clearly define your objectives and goals of the website and let them propose a solution. Answer as many questions as possible and also ask them as many questions as you can. At this stage you can also request them to provide you with the followings:

  1. Project Execution Process: A good web design agency always have a defined web design and development process and project execution methodology. Which has been refined over the years and could really help a smooth project execution.
  2. Sitemap, Navigational Structure: Ask them if they provide a sitemap, wireframe, and complete website navigational structure before starting the actual designing process. A professional web design company always provide these details before starting the actual designing work.
  3. Design Mockup, UX/UI and Revisions: Do they offer design, UX/UI mockups and revisions? How many design revisions can be done without impacting the commercials of the agreement? These things are important, as a top-notch web design company in Dubai always provide at least 3 mockups and offer at least 5 to 8 revisions without any additional quote/cost.
  4. Development Plan and Time Table: The website development plan and time table are also important as it is a testament to a professional project execution approach.
  5. UAT and Training: Ask them if they provide a UAT (user acceptance test) and training of the CMS or content management system? A top-notch web design company in Dubai always provide include UAT in their project plan and also offer training sessions for the CMS.

This information should be collected at this point in time. Once everything is in place then you should move to the next phase of the scrutiny.

Step 5. Request for Quotation and Contracts

Request for Quotation and Contracts

Once the above stages are done, by now you would have left with only a handful of web design companies. Request them for the quotation and the contract. Compare the quotations and contracts and try to evaluate the best among them. Then compare the price. It is important to have a clearly defined project scope, project time table and delivery date. Also ask them to comply with your policies and terms, especially the data protection and safety policies and the payment terms. From this step to the next, only those companies should be moved who are willing to fully comply with your policies and terms. Of course, a negotiation at this phase will help you too.

Step 6. Work Samples

Work Samples

Ask them to provide you with the work samples. The work samples will help you understand their capabilities and the level of their skills. Only rate those web design companies who have the most diverse portfolio with different types of designs.

Contact their Customers

Ask then to provide you with the contact details of their past customers and try to contact them, at least request them to provide you with the details of three customers. It is better to write them an email or you can also call them as well. Once getting their feedback move to the next step.

Industry Experience

It is important to know how experienced they are in your industry. They may have experience in different industries but if they don’t have any experience in your particular industry then the chances of something could go wrong are way too high.

Step 7. Other Services

Other Services

Check what other services they are providing. How strong a portfolio they have in other services and how many well-known customers they have in those services. Whether those services are relevant to you or not? How many other relevant services they are offering is very important, for example in the case of web design service if a company is offering website designing and development services along with digital marketing, corporate profile creation, search engine optimization (SEO), graphics designing services and digital advertisements services. You might not need any of these services now but in future, you could require any of those services. It will be a lot easier for you to ask an existing supplier for another service rather than doing the procurement process again.

Website Maintenance (AMC), SLA and Hosting

Website maintenance services are also important. You should ask the web design company to provide an AMC agreement and SLA (Service Level Agreement) along with their quotes. This will particularly help you in managing the website and all its relevant products/services from a single vendor. Another important thing is the hosting service, it is always better to keep all the relevant and dependent services together with one supplier or service provider. It makes the management simple, no worry for contract or service renewals at different times, and above all, it saves a lot of costs too.

Step 8: Listen to your Heart

Listen to your Heart

Nobody knows your business better than you. Follow the above steps, make sure you got at least three web design companies till the last step. Rate them, judge them and weigh them. Then listen to your heart. If you are not satisfied with any company then simply don’t take risk of going forward with them. There has to be a strong bond on the bases of trust between a customer and a service provider, if you are not feeling comfortable in going with any company then don’t go for it. Listed to your heart.

The Important Link between Interactive UX, Businesses, and Ajax

Web Design - User Experience and SEO Rankings

User Experience or UX is increasingly becoming paramount for businesses as it helps them connect with their audience in a better manner. An interactive UX forms the basis for better user interaction and hence better presence. This blog of ours throws light on the importance of a lively UX and also how AJAX can be intelligently leveraged to drive an interactive UX which will translate into better business operations.

Web Design Dubai Trends

Interactive Design: The founding bedrocks

One of the much ignored yet most important founding principles of an interactive UX is defining what the objective of creating the user interface is and who the target audience to be engaged are. Many organizations fail in defining a primary objective to their designer and hence the user interface designed does not immediately cater to their needs, requiring alterations. Once the objectives are clearly defined, it becomes easier to come up with an apt UX which engages with the user and keeps them on the site for longer.
