Web Designer vs. Web Developer: What’s the Real Difference (And Why You Need Both)

What do you get when you cross a web designer with a web developer?
No, it’s not the start of a bad tech joke—it’s a genuine question that many people still don’t know the answer to.

In this video, our Creative Director, Fuzz, breaks down the key differences between web designers and web developers, and explains why both skill sets are essential when building a high-performing, visually stunning website.

Designer vs. Developer: Who Does What?

• A web designer is all about look, feel, and user experience. Think layout, colour, branding, and how users flow through your site. Their goal? To make your site not just look great—but work beautifully for the user.

• A web developer, on the other hand, brings those ideas to life with code. They build the framework, functionality, and features that make your site actually work.

Without design, your site may feel clunky or uninspired. Without development, it may never function properly. It’s not about one or the other you need both to create a site that performs on all fronts.

Why We Don’t Host Websites Ourselves (And What We Do Instead)

Fuzz also shares a behind-the-scenes look at why we don’t host websites in-house—and why that’s actually a good thing for our clients. From security and scalability to long-term flexibility, we believe in giving you control over your hosting while we focus on creating something exceptional.

These days if your business isn’t online, it’s basically invisible! A recent Forbes Advisor survey found that 83.5% of business owners say their website plays a big role in their success. Translation? if you don’t have a site yet, you’re missing out.

At Fuzzy Logic, we believe your website is the digital front door to your business and in a world that Googles everything, it’s a must-have. Get yourself out there and a start showing up where it counts.

IS YOUR WEBSITE DOING ITS JOB?

So as we’ve established, having a website is a solid start. But if it’s just sitting there looking pretty, it’s not doing the heavy lifting. We believe your site should be your hardest-working team member. Sure it looks greats, but is it actually pulling its weight? 

A great website is user friendly, answers your questions, earns trust from potential clients and shows up in search engines (SEO), working around the clock to help grow your business. Speaking of which… we’ve included a little something in this issue about what a call to action really is!

Ever wonder what makes a website do something? Enter the Call to Action (aka CTA). These are the prompts that tell your visitors what to do next – think “Book a demo,” “Get in touch,” or “Download now.” They might be small but they can certainly pack a punch when it comes to getting results.

Not sure where to start? Fear not, next month’s Fuzzy Newsletter will include some top tips on how to present your CTAs that are impossible to ignore (without being annoying).
