This has literally been bugging me since the beginning, what is the difference between the two and which is better? If there is a better one.

Thanks for the link Sanket. Its very appreciated.

I think Web Developer is good because comparing to web designers job opportunities for this is really high. Your ladder for this criterion and the salary range for this are also very high.

Okay ill put it to you like this:

Web Developer- Has everything to do with Coding of the website

Web Designer- Has everything to do with how the website will look in the end

My Opinion- I prefer the Developer part because I have no artistic in me

My opinion for this is if you are not artistic web designer part doesn’t match with you. So you better go with the developer job. What do you think?

Given the difference in rates of the two. I think I'd go for the developer but not make any less of the designer. Always did love to design but it still needs a lot of work. Thanks for the replies. @x|SuperMonkey|x and @nelthompson

Anytime thats what we are here for to help answer questions, give opinion, and critic work

i want a good web designer and developer it`s urgent but i could not find any good one...

AliImran what for??? and you came to a Web Developer Forum filled with developers/designers! lol so You could try getting someone on here

are you a designer ...?? i need a php developer...

hmm are you a developer or a designer..?

hello,
i think both designer and developer has its on role in web development.

A web designer is a person who create the web layout. He is responsible for entire designing part - logo, navigation, web pages and more.

A web developer is who code the layout. With his codes, he make the web layout accessible and visible on web browser.

All 2 was very important in this field because they was best in the own work so what ever to want to try just see which in you have a interest and choose that.

I think both are equally have the similar value because if a web designer will not design the site how would the developer will develop it and it the developer will to do his work then what will the designer will do after designing the site.

Web designer and web developer both are designer only Designs the web site with all the navigations and web developer do the programming part of the web site.

I would prefer web designer because they can are versatile and have some artistic skills also.

Web Designer used to make design for the website in photoshop etc. and Web Developer used to handle coding part of the website in PHP or .Net.

According to me, web developer has higher salary than web designer, so, I would say that web developer is better.

It is actually quite common for web design and Web Developers to be expected to take on tasks that are outside of their personal skillsets.  In my experience, I would only consider a very small number of people that I’ve worked with to be proficient in both design and development.  In most cases, you’ll find a cocky developer that thinks his designs are the greatest thing that ever hit the Internet when, in reality, they’re mediocre at best.  It’s far less common to find a designer who thinks he can code up an entire Web application.

Guys,  I am Working A SEO Projects , But I Think Web Desiging and Web Developing In Very Important Part of Every Website in This Days ...
