As soon as you said “you can do both. You can switch easily because they are so closely related to each either” I was like, I like you. I like that thinking!!! Thanks, it was a great video!
@@cautarepvp2079 it is easier to get job as a designer than a developer, very true. however, developers are more needed in team as there are 1-2 designer vs 10 developers. plus the higher salary cap. and good developers not only just know how to codes well but communicate well i.e. social skills and taste for aesthetics. just as good designers aren't afraid of logic analysis and reasoning i.e. programming or deep user research and not the pretty pixels people. as a developer, you can learn design very easily but as a designer you tend to afraid of coding since its harder.
I absolutely appreciate you for making this video! Your analogies and examples really helped me grasp the concepts more strongly. Awesome job. Thanks man.
I've been learning Web Development for the past year, while also teaching art to high schoolers. I think I'm ready to make the switch to web design. The design aspect comes easily to me, I just need to master the tools.
I'm interested in making a website accessible friendly, a comfortable UI for a large variety audience and have a color scheme to follow along with it. I only dabbled in HTML5 and CSS, barely in Javascript but I love making a website from scratch and creating things that makes the website more interactive. Seeing a button work, adding images, making the structure of the website, it all intrigues me. It's a hard choice, I'll have to talk more about this with an advisor at college. This video did help me understand a bit more of the differences with web designing and web developing!
I'm considering either option and this was super informative! I feel like your analogy for a developer being "If you're the person who likes to do puzzles face-down" as it seems to get the core of the profession -- you may not have many of the clues as to how to get an app/website up and running, but that's okay because that's exactly your job to figure out.
+Jean-Louis Du Plessis so glad it was a help to you, let me know if there is any other topics I could cover that would interest you. Also I'll check the volume 👍🏼
Hey Jesse, I really enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel. I'm a Web Designer but I'm also learning CSS, HTML for websites. Thanks for this video. Much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to delve into these two paths. Trying to figure out where I fit between design and development, and your thoughts were very helpful!
Thanks for answering my question on the two subjects. I'm at the point where I wanna work in the web and deciding between the two but wasn't sure what to do. Was confused. You did a great job on clearing things up for me. Now I know. Thank you! (Development) ☺️
Dude! this video really helped me to take the right choice! I am studying programming and I am like bored every single day, I mean, codes work for me, but I am more a "visual" person, probably I discovered a new way to follow with web design, again, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, ever since I was in middle school I wanted to do graphic design. I love making digital art, logos, and simplistic things that also make you think. I’ve recently taken a web design class in high school, and I thought why not do both. I looked into it and I didn’t think I wanted to divest deep as web development. But all the other sources I looked at made it seem it was required. I know the basics pretty well, enough to get me through, but I really like focusing on the aesthetics. So thank you so much! This was so helpful! I’m going to pursue web design :)

GOOD LUCK

This is really encouraging. I am primarily working as a developer (native iOS) but also thinking about delving into to world of design. I love the idea you have promoted that in deciding which one you may want to be you are a "Maker" of things - I resonate with that quite highly and gives me a bit more confidence into trying something else I haven't done before
There are talented, motivated web designers who learn web dev, and talented web developers who can learn design. Those renaissance professionals end up getting the better jobs and getting the best salaries. Or, building the best products since they can work on both. You should strive to expand your skills both towards the functional and the aesthetics. UI/UX Design is moving closer towards the front end.

I studied architecture in college and in a way, I find myself super interested in both dev and design, somehow I feel my discipline has a very large role to play in that because I've been taught to design with the end game of solving problems, so the end part of your video really resonated with me...

Excellent video brother, you made it simple to understand and interesting to watch. This video genuinely helped me find some guidance and I really appreciate that. Good luck to you man and I hope all is well
I am a painter and Graphics designer. I am also an Art teacher. Via graphics, I do identity and branding, print and digital Marketing design e.g. Brochures and Magazines, Photo I high end retouching among others. I have never found something more important than converting my aesthetic/visual ideas into functional website. So I do all my preparation as designer in a sense that I need to get the right photos and color theme for the website, making sure that they will communicate the right message to the clients. And I make my ideas function by doing coding either in Notepad++ OR in Sublime text Hence a developer. I always want my website to appear responsive enough to much modern devices. Therefore it is hard to be one and not the other.
I have not yet opened one website of mine. I live in Uganda, Gulu district. I am still working as an Art teacher besides my graphics of which teaching is still taking much of my time. I will be much comfortable to real serious website when I resign from my current job and commit to my design work, may be soon or later. I love creating what makes me happy i.e. my design ideas. My contacts are kisimostev@gmail.com, ojok simon stephen on facebook and ojoksimonstephen7842 on instagram
I'm over 50 and am at the point in my life I can begin to start a career. I've been a mom and babysat my three grand babies for the last 34 years. I went to a meeting where I was taught the very basics of changing some things on our church web site. I realized I could do that all day and LOVE it. I would love to learn whatever I need to in order to become the best I can be. That being said, I have NO college and very little job experience due the ongoing illness of a family member. I saw a response you made, Jesse, to someone about not going to design school. I have done a small amount of research and found a certification course through the community college. I was also told to start watching videos, hence how I got here, to learn. I want to make a profession out of this. My husband isn't in great health and I need something I can be self sustaining with, but still be available to my family. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Self Employed - I do it all (and I'm the only programmer in my company). It's a lot work but I'm invaluable to my team. I'm sure, if I had to, I could find a new job pretty easily. It's worth it to know all aspects of your job/passion!
Currently making decisions for my career. Feels like I got diverted into a different career path for almost 2 years now than the course I took in college. This video just made me realize and remember AGAIN what I have always wanted to do back in college (Which was to be a web developer). Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for this video you answered the question that has been driving me crazy. I definitely don't like doing puzzles face down so design is the route for me it looks like. I just needed someone to break it down so I could clearly understand the difference.
Thanks for the information on both and the analogy with the car and the engine. Really love it. Question for you. I'm looking to dabble into web design but can't afford something like Photoshop. Is there some other alternative to Photoshop that might help me when starting out with designing websites? I'm completely new to all of this and I'm currently taking a course in school learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. So I kind of want to touch some design to see if it's something that I would like. I feel like I would like to dive into both and would appreciate any feedback from you!! Thanks again!!
Affinity Photo would be a great alternative, I also recommend Sketch but if you just needed 1 program that could do it all and is similar to Photoshop I would choose Affinity.
Love the passion! So inspiring. I’m so interested in Web/Graphic Design and I’m stuck doing something completely unrelated. I wish I had the confidence to pursue it!
@@sullyy2k1 i'm bringing you back to this 3 years later hoping, with all my heart, that you've taken a step towards creating and investing yourself & your time into what you know in your heart you genuinely want to do. i say "a step" specifically because honestly? that's really 99% of what it takes. that's usually the hardest part of creating the life YOU want and trust me, if you can get THAT done, you're so much closer to the life YOU want - much closer than you can ever imagine or believe. with all the love in my heart, i genuinely pray that you find the strength, confidence and courage to take the leap you need. I pray that when life tries to convince you otherwise, that you remember and walk boldly in all the amazing light you carry in you. i pray you find the courage to leave where you're 'stuck' in (if you haven't already ofc) and instead, throw your entire self into things that nourish your mind & awaken your soul. you obviously don't know me lol but believe me when i tell you that i'm sending you SO much love & the biggest, warmest and tightest bear hugs. live! enjoy your life! 🤍
Thank you for the video Jesse. I really appreciate how you touched upon both professions because I'm both analytical and visually inclined/artistic so I've been trying to figure out whether I should get into web design or web development. Where does UX design fall here? and would you recommend us to start with web development or web design first if we want to do both?
Bro, you’ve got this!! We all start in the very beginning. Keep learning and pushing yourself- one day you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Stoked for you and your journey!
Thank you Jesse for making this video to clear the differences for me. I have no idea what it is and I'm going to jump on:)a call on Friday to discuss an opportunity. This video makes me have more confidence about this topic, it has great value. Keep up the good work:)
Hi Jesse, I am a graphics designer. & i know graphics design very well. Though web design looks like graphics design that's why i wanna learn web development. Do you think my decision is right? if wrong then give me a suggestion.
I think you could start by learning front end development and see if it's something that you enjoy. Since HTML and CSS are tied so closely with the layout and design of a website it would be a logical next step. If you learn that you enjoy coding then my suggestion would be to learn javascript and then from there the sky is the limit.
This video is beneficial for those people who are just starting or planning to switch their carriers and a little bit confused about which one is good for them.
Twelve years ago when I started in this industry, there was only a Web Designer or Developer....and the web designer would do all the frontend code too. The developer would be doing all the PHP/.NET.....building custom CMS's and shopping carts. Vanilla JS wasn't even a thing back then....jQuery was just starting to become the next big thing and that's all you needed to know. Now look at the state of industry!! There's more job titles and frameworks than I've had hot dinners...so just take your pick!!
I saw your video of why you shouldn't go to design school and It got me wondering if you actually went to college or had any form of vocational training. I'm a web design student at 2 yr college (less risk and no debt) and I just wanted to ask if you can make a video on your journey of how you got into graphic/ print design and transitioned to web design in your own journey. And how you managed to make a portfolio and land a job in both (assuming you didn't go to college). I am a firm believer of teaching your self things as way of proven motivation however when I search for job listings and internships, many say require bachelors degree of some sort? -Really great content by the way!
Thanks for the encouragement, super happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. I did go to college but only after I had already been working in the industry. That's why I'm of the "don't go to design school" opinion... because it was not a productive use of my time or money. Making a video on my journey is a great idea, I'll put in the queue of videos to make. In a nutshell, I started out making band flyers. then got an internship at my church, then did a mentorship with a friend who is an awesome designer, then got my first full-time job, then freelanced then a design agency, now a startup and freelance. It's a been a while ride. Start making things that excite you, and learn by doing. Stay at it man, nothing good comes without hard work 🤘
Great video! I just gave this video a bump in a college class I'm teaching, a student asked what the difference between web design and web developer was.
Lol, I still don't understand, when I design a website, I also add functionality to it, without that how will you see your work, on the page. So is this mean I am learning both web designing and development or just one?? , if one pls let me know which one. I think I am learning both as I am making the view of the website and even adding functionality to it. One more short question, don't we need to do those together, when we are writing code???
I do web design, I'm not too good with the developing part because my dyslexia really makes it difficult. But my business is growing and I'm going to need a web developer.
Congrats on your growing business, the best thing you can do is find a developer you can work with and trust and do multiple projects with them. Good luck 👍
Hey, thanks for this video. I was wondering if you made sure to learn data structures and algorithms before becoming a web developer? Is it something you recommend for me to learn?
Do you think it’s possible I can do web development/design f/t from home? I’m an introvert and don’t hate people, but I don’t like office politics, clicks, favoritism, gossip, having to talk all the time, etc.
I think there is a place for everyone, I have been blessed to work at some amazing companies that really care about me, so don't give up hope on working at a physical location, but yes you can design or develop full time from home too.
Jesse Showalter Thanks, but by your video, I can tell you’re a lot more outgoing and charismatic than I am(not that I’m angry/depressed). After the 15+ places I’ve worked, I find that I feel better being at home. I did transcription from home for a few years & I was very productive & felt free to be me, but the pay was low and the work was inconsistent. Thanks for making such great videos. Great to see that you love your career. I will watch more of them to keep myself motivated!
YumYum Kitty You're in the same situation as me. I work at home but the work is intermittent and I'm not getting ahead. I wouldn't mind working in an office if I could dip and work from home when I need it. I hope things have changed in the past two months since you posted this.
The problem is nowadays employer most likely will hire a graphic designer with coding knowlede..trust me ive been looking for some graphic designer jobs and most of them requires a g.designer to have coding knowledge
I think it's because the industry or some group of people are just pushing way too many people into web development, soon it'll become the new coal miners job,plus things like wix or WordPress are also taking the jobs
in my learning i have consistently hear that the need for PURE graphic designers is far and few and that most would benefit from learning web dev skills as well.
@Trinitrophenylnitramine yes i did some coding in college too..but if youre applying for a job theyll be asking you more coding skills...but in the end i knda like coding....been scratching js for a while
Hey there! I wanna do UI / UX and front end as well! What should I be focusing on to learn in my free time, I’m in college rn, in a coding-related degree program but not purely focusing on the areas I’m interested in
I have designed my first website, like to learn both for sure! ( BTW. is on my channel... would like to hear some opinions.... ) Being a creative guy my whole life I really like the aspect to design my website the way I want. But I think learning both will give me the Independence I am looking for at the end. Anway great video!
In my first year of University i learn both the designing aspects and developing aspects. I'm entering my second year now and i look forward to more sleepless nights haha! Great Video Sir!
@@yourdreamsaretopushuon Hi there i'm pursuing Information Technology and i attend the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean. It's a prestigous university in Jamaica.
Hi from Portugal, Jesse! I really enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel. I'd like to ask you a question: Do you think it's harder for a person who learned by TH-cam and online courses to get a job in this area than a person who has a degree from college? Is there this kind of prejudice in this area or the only thing that really matters to the employers is if you know how to do even if you don't have a degree?
I am a self-taught designer and developer and in my opinion, people care more about what you can do than what a piece of paper says. Just make sure you can do what you say you can and do it really well.
Hi, this is the first video I've seen from your channel. I am 18 years old, I am learning CSS and JavaScript, but I feel that I've started learning these things pretty late, so I was curious, when did you know what you wanted to do in the future ? What "school" should I choose to study at university if I want to become both a Web designer and a Web developer?
You know what, it's been two years since I watched this video, and back then I was a web designer and now I am learning JavaScript. And i realized how stupid I am to not start learning web development right away. For the reason that I want to be soooooo gooood in web design.
ItzGeigger ik I was just asking if he meant javascript cuz he mentioned html css and to complete that he needs js anybody up to be my html css teacher pls I suck at self learning
Great video dude ! i seriously thought web designer / developer were the same thing till i watched this and you broke it down and explained extremely well , can you also make another video explaining what is Front end , back end and full stack web designer/ developer ? i would really appreciated it man Thanks in advance
It's better to know how to code cause you don't have to go to a bunch of other people to get something done for the client. It's not like you have to create new algorithms in C, just some basic coding.
Been really confused until now This was very helpful wish i had seen it before i started learning web development it would have made my life easier i guess 🤔 But then came the part where you like " i can explore both and decide which one it's more like me ❤ You examples are so easy to relate to Thanks for sharing
![โรงเรียนห้ามรัก โดนจับได้ตาย...!! [เอิร์นไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4u02Sbr556Q/mqdefault.jpg)
It’s like the relationship between architect and the engineer
The architect designs the building
The engineer works out if it stands
exactly
I think a web design is more like an interior designer because it focuses on the feel the mood and the utility.
This is the more accurate comparison.
As soon as you said “you can do both. You can switch easily because they are so closely related to each either” I was like, I like you. I like that thinking!!! Thanks, it was a great video!
Thanks so much, Haruna!!!
Long story short: do both!
Because every job offer requests designers to code...............and developers to know design
:)
true :)
if you want to learn both, which one should you start with?
@@meggiekwere1831 design...because design comea first in development then code for the final blow
thats what I thought and doing currently
waldo mack why can’t you be a master at both?
Want to know a secret?
You can be both and be damn good at it.
Not so much of a secret 🤣
Its a secret how you actually become good at it, since it takes years sadly to get a job as a developer lol

Perfect one for the newbies like me who can't decide what to do with web designing.
So what you choose??
Same here brought a course webdesigner but got the web developer part guess they decided that was the most important pat for them xD i dont mind tho
Do both cause WYSIWYG on front end...and at the end of the day, it's mostly inserted templets of prewritten code going into coded Structures.
Out of the 6 videos I've watched, you gave the best explanation. Your volume is the lowest though haha

And I make my ideas function by doing coding either in Notepad++ OR in Sublime text Hence a developer. I always want my website to appear responsive enough to much modern devices. Therefore it is hard to be one and not the other.
Great points
I am Happy to know that
Brother where do you live? And do you have a website I can check your work please?! Looking for someone for a serious project! Let me know. Blessings!
I have not yet opened one website of mine. I live in Uganda, Gulu district. I am still working as an Art teacher besides my graphics of which teaching is still taking much of my time. I will be much comfortable to real serious website when I resign from my current job and commit to my design work, may be soon or later. I love creating what makes me happy i.e. my design ideas. My contacts are kisimostev@gmail.com, ojok simon stephen on facebook and ojoksimonstephen7842 on instagram

I'm over 50 and am at the point in my life I can begin to start a career. I've been a mom and babysat my three grand babies for the last 34 years. I went to a meeting where I was taught the very basics of changing some things on our church web site. I realized I could do that all day and LOVE it. I would love to learn whatever I need to in order to become the best I can be. That being said, I have NO college and very little job experience due the ongoing illness of a family member. I saw a response you made, Jesse, to someone about not going to design school. I have done a small amount of research and found a certification course through the community college. I was also told to start watching videos, hence how I got here, to learn. I want to make a profession out of this. My husband isn't in great health and I need something I can be self sustaining with, but still be available to my family. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jesse for the encouraging, informative breakdown, looking forward to having my new career!
Thanks so much!
Self Employed - I do it all (and I'm the only programmer in my company). It's a lot work but I'm invaluable to my team. I'm sure, if I had to, I could find a new job pretty easily. It's worth it to know all aspects of your job/passion!
“its worth it to know all aspects of your job/passion” i 100% agree!! Thanks for sharing!
I am Creative as well as curious.... And I've decided to become an ultimate web designer and developer.
Go for it 👍
Thank you for this! I'm looking into both web design and web development.
this is actually so inspiring.
makes me hungry for the job
keep it up! :D
Awesome 👍🏼
Currently making decisions for my career. Feels like I got diverted into a different career path for almost 2 years now than the course I took in college. This video just made me realize and remember AGAIN what I have always wanted to do back in college (Which was to be a web developer). Thanks! :)
Congrats! Knowing what you want is 90% of the battle
@@JesseShowalter Thanks Jesse! :)
Actually Node js is a runtime that allows us to run js on the server.
Good clarification, sometimes I get talking so fast things just blurt out
AWWWWWWWWWWWW SNAP!
Thank you so much for this video you answered the question that has been driving me crazy. I definitely don't like doing puzzles face down so design is the route for me it looks like. I just needed someone to break it down so I could clearly understand the difference.
I'm so glad it helped, good luck on your career 👍🏼
WOW!! This is really helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing this information with us :D
Great video! You broke the two down in such a simplistic manner. I have a much better understanding now. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so so glad I brought some clarity, Monet! Go make rad things! 💛
Thanks for the information on both and the analogy with the car and the engine. Really love it. Question for you. I'm looking to dabble into web design but can't afford something like Photoshop. Is there some other alternative to Photoshop that might help me when starting out with designing websites? I'm completely new to all of this and I'm currently taking a course in school learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. So I kind of want to touch some design to see if it's something that I would like. I feel like I would like to dive into both and would appreciate any feedback from you!! Thanks again!!
Affinity Photo would be a great alternative, I also recommend Sketch but if you just needed 1 program that could do it all and is similar to Photoshop I would choose Affinity.
Jesse Showalter Awesome. Thank you for the reply! I’ll go check out Affinity.
Love the passion! So inspiring. I’m so interested in Web/Graphic Design and I’m stuck doing something completely unrelated. I wish I had the confidence to pursue it!
Go get after it!!! 🔥🤘
You’ve earned a sub lol. I will...one day.... 😂👌🏽
@@sullyy2k1 i'm bringing you back to this 3 years later hoping, with all my heart, that you've taken a step towards creating and investing yourself & your time into what you know in your heart you genuinely want to do. i say "a step" specifically because honestly? that's really 99% of what it takes. that's usually the hardest part of creating the life YOU want and trust me, if you can get THAT done, you're so much closer to the life YOU want - much closer than you can ever imagine or believe.
with all the love in my heart, i genuinely pray that you find the strength, confidence and courage to take the leap you need. I pray that when life tries to convince you otherwise, that you remember and walk boldly in all the amazing light you carry in you. i pray you find the courage to leave where you're 'stuck' in (if you haven't already ofc) and instead, throw your entire self into things that nourish your mind & awaken your soul.
you obviously don't know me lol but believe me when i tell you that i'm sending you SO much love & the biggest, warmest and tightest bear hugs. live! enjoy your life! 🤍
Thank you for the video Jesse. I really appreciate how you touched upon both professions because I'm both analytical and visually inclined/artistic so I've been trying to figure out whether I should get into web design or web development. Where does UX design fall here? and would you recommend us to start with web development or web design first if we want to do both?
UX is it's own discipline and you just need to start if you want to do both.
bro I'm just getting started learning about this job. I really have no idea about this but im willing to learn. Thank you this very helpful
Bro, you’ve got this!! We all start in the very beginning. Keep learning and pushing yourself- one day you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Stoked for you and your journey!
@@JesseShowalter Thank you brother you're an inspiration
Just contact me +15206360510 on WhatsApp i take classes online
I am a web designer and web developer, so it is best to be both
Do what you love.
Thank you Jesse for making this video to clear the differences for me. I have no idea what it is and I'm going to jump on:)a call on Friday to discuss an opportunity. This video makes me have more confidence about this topic, it has great value. Keep up the good work:)
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Jesse, I am a graphics designer. & i know graphics design very well. Though web design looks like graphics design that's why i wanna learn web development. Do you think my decision is right? if wrong then give me a suggestion.
I think you could start by learning front end development and see if it's something that you enjoy. Since HTML and CSS are tied so closely with the layout and design of a website it would be a logical next step. If you learn that you enjoy coding then my suggestion would be to learn javascript and then from there the sky is the limit.
Hi,I watch the full video & I found it amazing.
goo.gl/E5QjkY
This video is beneficial for those people who are just starting or planning to switch their carriers and a little bit confused about which one is good for them.
Superb video. Last bit really resonated with me.
Thanks for sharing your insight.
+Digitally Perry thanks for watching man, I'm glad it was a help to you. Let me know if there is anything else I can cover that would be helpful
😊
This is the exact video I'm checking for difference of web design and development
thanks for making good video
Thank you so much for the support! I am so stoked that you enjoyed the video!
Thanks a lot dude..💞.Really loved it..I am a developer.. Now I want to know about the designing techniques too😊
Awesome 👍🏼
colors man it's about them colors..... ohh yah and flow too can't forget about that flow!
Twelve years ago when I started in this industry, there was only a Web Designer or Developer....and the web designer would do all the frontend code too. The developer would be doing all the PHP/.NET.....building custom CMS's and shopping carts. Vanilla JS wasn't even a thing back then....jQuery was just starting to become the next big thing and that's all you needed to know. Now look at the state of industry!! There's more job titles and frameworks than I've had hot dinners...so just take your pick!!
We’ve all come such a long way! Thanks so much for your insight, I appreciate you! 🤘
I saw your video of why you shouldn't go to design school and It got me wondering if you actually went to college or had any form of vocational training. I'm a web design student at 2 yr college (less risk and no debt) and I just wanted to ask if you can make a video on your journey of how you got into graphic/ print design and transitioned to web design in your own journey.
And how you managed to make a portfolio and land a job in both (assuming you didn't go to college). I am a firm believer of teaching your self things as way of proven motivation however when I search for job listings and internships, many say require bachelors degree of some sort?
-Really great content by the way!
Thanks for the encouragement, super happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. I did go to college but only after I had already been working in the industry. That's why I'm of the "don't go to design school" opinion... because it was not a productive use of my time or money. Making a video on my journey is a great idea, I'll put in the queue of videos to make. In a nutshell, I started out making band flyers. then got an internship at my church, then did a mentorship with a friend who is an awesome designer, then got my first full-time job, then freelanced then a design agency, now a startup and freelance. It's a been a while ride. Start making things that excite you, and learn by doing. Stay at it man, nothing good comes without hard work 🤘
Which church do you go?
Rohjesei hey....
I wanna learn about website design can u plzzz help me
Great video! I just gave this video a bump in a college class I'm teaching, a student asked what the difference between web design and web developer was.
Thanks so much for the support!
Im doing both and it's very fine for me
right on!
That is what I want to do. 😊
Linnaia Crist you can start with the design first which is the right thing then move slowly to development
Lol, I still don't understand, when I design a website, I also add functionality to it, without that how will you see your work, on the page. So is this mean I am learning both web designing and development or just one?? , if one pls let me know which one.
I think I am learning both as I am making the view of the website and even adding functionality to it.
One more short question, don't we need to do those together, when we are writing code???
mohammed mohsen i also want to do is it possible in company or freelancing?
I do web design, I'm not too good with the developing part because my dyslexia really makes it difficult. But my business is growing and I'm going to need a web developer.
Congrats on your growing business, the best thing you can do is find a developer you can work with and trust and do multiple projects with them. Good luck 👍
Hey, thanks for this video. I was wondering if you made sure to learn data structures and algorithms before becoming a web developer? Is it something you recommend for me to learn?
I am a front end guy so data structures and algorithms aren’t my thing
Good points Jesse. Love the way you separate the two divisions.
Thanks for the support 👍🏼
Loved it! Helpful and informative! ☺
GREAT JOB ON THE EXPLANATION. I FOUND THE INFORMATION I WAS LOOKING FOR.
Yes!! So stoked!!
Do you think it’s possible I can do web development/design f/t from home?
I’m an introvert and don’t hate people, but I don’t like office politics, clicks, favoritism, gossip, having to talk all the time, etc.
I hate those things also! This is one of the reasons why I want to do web development.
I think there is a place for everyone, I have been blessed to work at some amazing companies that really care about me, so don't give up hope on working at a physical location, but yes you can design or develop full time from home too.
Dionne Petty It’s great to hear that someone else hates toxic work environments! LOL
Jesse Showalter Thanks, but by your video, I can tell you’re a lot more outgoing and charismatic than I am(not that I’m angry/depressed). After the 15+ places I’ve worked, I find that I feel better being at home.
I did transcription from home for a few years & I was very productive & felt free to be me, but the pay was low and the work was inconsistent.
Thanks for making such great videos. Great to see that you love your career. I will watch more of them to keep myself motivated!
YumYum Kitty You're in the same situation as me. I work at home but the work is intermittent and I'm not getting ahead. I wouldn't mind working in an office if I could dip and work from home when I need it.
I hope things have changed in the past two months since you posted this.
This was a very helpful video! Easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much!!
The problem is nowadays employer most likely will hire a graphic designer with coding knowlede..trust me ive been looking for some graphic designer jobs and most of them requires a g.designer to have coding knowledge
Exactly, this is a serious issue, and needs to be straightened out in the industry.
I think it's because the industry or some group of people are just pushing way too many people into web development, soon it'll become the new coal miners job,plus things like wix or WordPress are also taking the jobs
in my learning i have consistently hear that the need for PURE graphic designers is far and few and that most would benefit from learning web dev skills as well.
@Trinitrophenylnitramine yes i did some coding in college too..but if youre applying for a job theyll be asking you more coding skills...but in the end i knda like coding....been scratching js for a while

Glad to hear it 👍🏼
Well-explained!! Was searching for this, but couldn't find any other such explanation!! Lots of thanks 😍🤗

Hey there! I wanna do UI / UX and front end as well! What should I be focusing on to learn in my free time, I’m in college rn, in a coding-related degree program but not purely focusing on the areas I’m interested in
Basics of design/design theory first, then digital design principles for web and mobile, then UX related topics like research, data, users etc...
"However you do it...do it with excellence."
Yes!!!
I have designed my first website, like to learn both for sure! ( BTW. is on my channel... would like to hear some opinions.... )
Being a creative guy my whole life I really like the aspect to design my website the way I want.
But I think learning both will give me the Independence I am looking for at the end.
Anway great video!
In my first year of University i learn both the designing aspects and developing aspects. I'm entering my second year now and i look forward to more sleepless nights haha! Great Video Sir!
Hi, i would like to know which course you are pursuing and at which university you are in.. if you don't mind
@@yourdreamsaretopushuon Hi there i'm pursuing Information Technology and i attend the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean. It's a prestigous university in Jamaica.
@@royaleditaudios2277 Thx...✨
I'm a guy who loves to solve how the engine works.😁
Man you just made my day! GOD BLESS YOU!
I’m so stoked! Peace be with you, brother!
Hi from Portugal, Jesse!
I really enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel. I'd like to ask you a question: Do you think it's harder for a person who learned by TH-cam and online courses to get a job in this area than a person who has a degree from college?
Is there this kind of prejudice in this area or the only thing that really matters to the employers is if you know how to do even if you don't have a degree?
I am a self-taught designer and developer and in my opinion, people care more about what you can do than what a piece of paper says. Just make sure you can do what you say you can and do it really well.
Jesse Showalter , thanks a lot!
+cariocavampira 👍🏼
Great video. Thanks for sharing valuable information in video. Keep sharing.

That's reassuring Jesse, thanks
You are too good to be real ❤ that's a perfect guide full of priceless helpful info combined with a very good presentation.
Thanks so much, Diana! Have a great week!
Hi, this is the first video I've seen from your channel. I am 18 years old, I am learning CSS and JavaScript, but I feel that I've started learning these things pretty late, so I was curious, when did you know what you wanted to do in the future ? What "school" should I choose to study at university if I want to become both a Web designer and a Web developer?
I didn't know what I wanted to do until I was 25. Go to a school that will challenge you but don't go into massive debt for it.
@@JesseShowalter thank you for the advice!

You know what, it's been two years since I watched this video, and back then I was a web designer and now I am learning JavaScript.
And i realized how stupid I am to not start learning web development right away. For the reason that I want to be soooooo gooood in web design.
Client side aka Front-end Development
This is the video that led to me pursuing a career in UX Design, thank you mate...
Please do you know any online website I can learn either of them for free!
Brother love from Pakistan ❤
I loved your words
Love the video man, it’s very informative and straight to the point, thanks!
Thank you so much, Zokhid!
Well I guess web dev is right for me since I learned HTML CSS and currently learns java
TRK_ DAS javascript?
you know java or java script, two completely different things
ItzGeigger ik I was just asking if he meant javascript cuz he mentioned html css and to complete that he needs js anybody up to be my html css teacher pls I suck at self learning
Great video dude ! i seriously thought web designer / developer were the same thing till i watched this and you broke it down and explained extremely well , can you also make another video explaining what is Front end , back end and full stack web designer/ developer ? i would really appreciated it man Thanks in advance
+JoHnJoHn I am going to do similar videos for front end vs backend, and UX vs UI
Be designer that know how to code.
Thats a good plan
how about a coder that knows how to design?
Finally I see the difference between web development and web design
thanks a lot :D
It's better to know how to code cause you don't have to go to a bunch of other people to get something done for the client. It's not like you have to create new algorithms in C, just some basic coding.
Both are great skillsets to pursue!
Its basically the Civil engineer and Architect of the web world
When I create a web, either design or develop, do I have to do web hosting as well?
You have to get it hosted but you dont have to do it your self.
@@JesseShowalter thank you for your response.
no problem
Thank you so much for your explanation. It really helped to decide which one will be better for me. 😊
That’s great to hear
Jesse Showalter, forgot Perl, again - one of the most used languages for any developement, including the web developement.
lol not sure if this is a joke or not
I love the way you explained this, very helpful.
any recommendations on specific online courses on learning both?
Coming soon
Been really confused until now
This was very helpful wish i had seen it before i started learning web development it would have made my life easier i guess 🤔
But then came the part where you like " i can explore both and decide which one it's more like me ❤
You examples are so easy to relate to
Thanks for sharing
Never too late
