<\/div>\n

You all will agree with me that having a website is important for every business or personal brand these days. But when we think about building one, we often come across two terms that seem very similar to us – web design and front-end developmen<\/strong>t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Web<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always a bit of confusion in our minds about whether there is any difference between them or if they are just synonyms of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, both of them, play a very important role to make a website successful<\/strong> but yes, their work is different. They have different focuses, and we, as web developers should understand that well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, web design is a creative process<\/strong> and front-end development is more of a technical one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog shares a close look at the topic: Web Design vs Front-End Development<\/strong>. Hello readers, this is Jalak, a student of one of the web development courses<\/strong><\/a> at ADMEC Multimedia Institute<\/strong><\/a>, and this is my first write-up. Join me on this blog post to understand the key differences between front-end and web design.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Web Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Web design as a process covers planning and designing the outer look of a website <\/strong>that the user directly sees and interacts with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when you search for something on Google.com<\/a> and the first thing you interact with or notice, like logo image, text, and titles, are all the part that form a visual look of the webpage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the aim?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The aim of web design is to make the website attractive and user-friendly,<\/strong> so that the visitor feels comfortable and spends more time on it. And this also helps in website ranking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So basically, web design means planning, conceptualizing,<\/strong> and arranging the elements such as text, graphics, layout, colors, and font, etc. The work of designers is to combine all of these elements and make an attractive and user-friendly site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Factors of Web Designing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are some key factors that we follow in web design. These factors help us to make our websites look and feel better for users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the overall structure and arrangement of the website<\/strong> (header, footer, and content area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use the right color scheme that represents your brand and also looks soothing to the eyes of your audience. You should use colors with the best harmony<\/strong>. Check Adobe Color<\/a><\/strong> to find the right color palette for your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typography (Fonts)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use clear and readable font families that make reading easier for online readers on your site<\/strong>. Additionally, add short sentences, easy-to-read words, and a conversational style in your content. I learned these points in my SEO classes with Anuradha Mam, and they indeed make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use simple and easy-to-follow navigation<\/strong> so that visitors can easily move on the website. Do not avoid internal linking of pages. Always add one or two internal links while making a new page on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphics & Images<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use high-quality images<\/strong> and illustrations <\/strong>so they can make the content of your site more engaging. Do not leave your pages with plain text. It is important to make it graphic-rich <\/strong>as people understand well with graphics and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content Placement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use proper content hierarchy (headings, paragraphs, CTAs). <\/strong>Keep one H1 on the page with multiple H2-H6 headings. You can use lists, quotes, and tables too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsiveness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Website would be responsive for all devices, including mobile, tablet, and desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Colors, buttons, and styles are consistent on the whole website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to possess, better understanding of these factors, you must attend practical classes on web design in Delhi<\/strong><\/a>, like I did with ADMEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools and Technologies of Web Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have design tools<\/strong> on one side and programming languages<\/strong> on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In design tools, we include Photoshop, Illustrator, XD<\/strong>, and Figma. <\/strong>They design the visible part of the <\/strong>website by planning layout, colors, fonts, icons, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the UI is ready, we follow it as a blueprint in the coding side, from where front-end development mainly starts. Some of the core programming languages of front-end<\/strong> are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
