What is the difference between web design and web development?

Web design focuses on how your website looks and feels - layout, colors, typography, imagery, and user experience.

Web development focuses on how it works - the code that makes features function, processes data, and connects to servers and databases. Think of design as the blueprint and development as the construction. Most modern agencies (including MooseBase) handle both, ensuring the design vision translates into a fully functional site. For small business websites, you generally don't need to hire separately. Look for a team that's strong in both areas so your site looks great and works flawlessly.
