Web Site Development Resource Center
Your guide to web design and development training and careers.
The explosion of the Internet has spurred a new crop of artists, engineers and businesses that did not exist just 25 short years ago and introduced a variety of web site development resources to build their sites. This group of web designers and developers work to keep pace not only with a constantly growing marketplace, but also with rapidly advancing technology.
As web sites become more complex, so does the web site development and design field. Even though the terms "web design" and "web development" are often used interchangeably, they really refer to two distinctly different roles in the web creation process.
The Art of Web Design
As a web designer, you'll be creating works of art seen and used by millions of people around the globe. Armed with nothing but a computer and some basic web design software, web designers have the ability to generate brilliant web pages for businesses large and small that have thousands of visitors a day.
If you have a knack for color schemes, an aptitude for computers and a drive to succeed, you could have a lucrative career in web design.
The Mechanics of Web Site Development
Web developers know how to make things work. They are consistently innovative—building and inventing new programming code—and stretching the limits of technology for a desired effect.
If you enjoy solving puzzles, are not afraid to work with numbers and technology, and never back down from a challenge, web site development might be for you.
