A website is one of the most popular resources that can be accessed through the internet through the use of computers and mobile applications. There are different things that can be found in a website like message boards, information sites, humor site, games site, news and updates, search engines, and other things.

Web designing is the process of creating, editing, and presenting specific information in a way that is easily digestible as well as aesthetically pleasing to the people looking at the website. Web designers use cascading style Sheets (CSS), hypertext markup language (HTML), javascript, animations, images, sounds, and color schemes to present the website that they are working on.
Web development refers to the programming aspects of building websites such as coding of the pages, database management, and web server configuration in a website. Web developers use different programming languages like Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), Active Server Pages (ASP), VBScript, Java, MySQL, Cold Fusion, and Java Server Pages (JSP).
