Web design and development are two closely intertwined yet distinct fields that encompass the creation and maintenance of websites. Web design focuses on enhancing user experience by understanding user needs and designing interfaces for a positive interaction, involving processes such as wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. On the other hand, web development involves both front-end and back-end aspects. Front-end development deals with the client-side, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, often utilizing frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js. Back-end development handles server-side processes, managing data, and business logic using languages such as Python, PHP, Ruby, or Java, along with frameworks like Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, or Node.js.

Graphic design is integral to the visual aspects of the website, encompassing color schemes, typography, and the overall aesthetic. The development workflow involves planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
