byw said: "Well i believe that website designing is where you put a website together in a package such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage etc. In these programs you have an interface in which you can put data, graphically. Whereas I believe that programming a website is when you litterally write the html, php, asp, jsp. My thoughts and may not reflect others opions"

Heri said: "Website designing is... well... website designing... It's the graphical/assembly element of making a website. It includes making your graphics (e.g. in photoshop) and HTML coding your layout. Website programming is the PHP, ASP, Perl/CGI, etc. aspect of making a website. It includes making your databases (e.g. for forums), and creating dynamic content (e.g. hit counters, who's online, news/news comments, download counters, forms, etc.). Web design handles the layout/graphical aspect areas of the website. Web programming (often called web development) handles the dynamic aspect of the website. :cool:"
