"Website developer" and "website designer" get used interchangeably in casual conversation, but they genuinely describe different, complementary work. A developer's job is making a website function correctly and efficiently, the actual code, database connections, third-party integrations, load speed, and cross-browser behaviour. A designer's job is how it looks and feels, layout, colour, typography and user flow.
Understanding this distinction matters when you're hiring, because a purely design-focused freelancer may struggle with genuinely technical requirements like payment gateway integration or a custom booking system, while a purely code-focused developer may produce a technically solid but visually unremarkable site. We handle both together specifically because most real business websites need them working in tandem, not as separate, disconnected hires.
