What is a Web Designer?

The term Web Designer is often used as a generic description of a person that creates websites. This is, however, not the complete story. As with all technology, things move on quickly and new technologies come along to replace or enhance what is already there; this is no different for web pages. At Kapow we think of a Web Designer as the person who puts together the look of the website. This is achieved manually, by writing HTML and CSS in a text editor, or using an HTML editor with graphical user interface. Graphical HTML editors allow web designer to focus on visual design rather than the code. Designers often help in designing the look of the website in terms of both aesthetics and user-friendliness

What is a Web Developer?

Web Developer is the person who deals with websites from a technical perspective. Through the use of different web technologies, Web Developer creates more functional parts of the website. These functions can be visible in the browser or work behind the scenes on the server. Web Developer also requires HTML and CSS skills as these are the essential building blocks of websites.

How to manage website?

Websites need to be managed as does any resource in a company. To keep a website updated requires at least basic knowledge of HTML and in most cases requires a Web Designer to implement the changes. Many people choose to do simple website updates themselves.

What is a Managed Website?

Managed Website contains the ability to change the contents of the website without the need to know HTML or to employ a Web Designer. Updates are made through a web application which deals with the HTML, positioning of the text and images on the page. These web applications are called CMS (Content Management Systems) and come with varying functionality. Using a CMS leaves you free to concentrate on what actually needs to be written on your website rather then the underlying technology. Some managed websites also allow for the creation of additional pages.

What is a Web Service?

Examples of commonly used Web Applications are Email Clients (Software to receive, send and read your emails), Contact management Systems (Software to keep details of business contacts).
