Whereas web developers convert a web design into a functioning website from it. They use programs like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP to make the website functional.
Web Design
Web designers must do the following in order to achieve an excellent user experience.
– Meet the objective of client’s website
– Set a website’s information hierarchy by building an Information Architecture (IA)
– Create wireframes and finally move to the design stage.
Following are the several design principles to be considered while a web design is being created by any digital agency in Dubai
• Balanced layout – In web design colors and design patterns are referred to either as heavy or light elements. Heavy means, large patterns, and dark colors. Light means, small patterns, and lighter color elements. Using the correct proportion of each is important to achieving a balanced website design.
• Contrast – Usage of color theory such as, contrasting vs complementary colors at the right place is important. In order to draw attention to certain sections of the website, designers look at contrasting textures, sizes, and shapes.
• Emphasis – If you wish to emphasize everything on the page, know that you will end up emphasizing nothing. Emphasis is one of the fundamental principles of design. It helps in highlighting certain important content or portion of the website layout.
• Consistency – In brand value, the website is like the signature spot where the brand’s colors, the logo has to be maintained with consistency across social platforms and other brand footprints. User experience for your website visitors can also be increased through consistent navigation.
• Unity – Unity is the relationship between the website layouts. Unity in design is important because it explains how the human brain visually organizes the design of the website.

Backend Web Development
Though it is the backbone of the website, the user cannot see any back end web development page. It is responsible for the functioning of the website. The backend web development ensures the functionality of what the user operates in the front end of the website in a successful manner, such as filling a form or enhancing a smooth transition of the customer’s journey from one page to the other.
Full Stack Web Development
The combined development of the frontend and the backend of a web page is called full-stack web development. It includes the development and design of the web page which includes graphics and database management.
