Just interested in seeing opinions on this question.

What's the difference between web design and web development?

Web designers have a strong eye for design, especially as it relates to digital marketing and advertising. They may also be UI and UX experts, and, if not, work closely with UI/UX (user interface and user experience) people. They have experience doing wireframes and keeping up with the latest design trends.

Web developers come from a programming background. Full stack web developers are skilled both with backend stuff (databases and back-end languages such as PHP, Python, .NET, etc.) as well as front-end HTML, Javascript, CSS, and AJAX. Web developers implement the designs that web designers create based on wireframes conceptualized by UX people.
