I am a senior Web Designer, and I am creating this post to educate the public about the differences between a Creative Designer, a Web Designer, a Technical Designer, a Web Developer, and a Software Engineer.

  • A Creative Designer is an artist in the space; he is AWESOME at creative thinking, and at conceptual based design in the digital space, like UI, UX, Experience Design, and Brand Experience Design. (You will find this type of professional in Design Studios across the world, like Fantasy Interactive, and II Advance! The guys who win FWA awards!)
  • A Web Designer is a “Designer” he uses Photoshop, and illustrator to create visually appealing websites for customers. He then uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the layout, and interactivity of the website, or web based application.
  • A Technical Designer is the combination of a Web Designer, and a Web Developer, and at times a Software Engineer too! This professional is rare! I called them the Hybrids of our industry. (They can run an entire IT department by them self…)
  • A Web Developer writes code, and only code for the web. He can usually write HTML, JavaScript, PHP, jQuery, Dojo, XML, Json, SOAP UI, he can generate a wsdl. (These guys sucks at CSS!)
  • A Software Engineer write mother languages like Java, C#, C, C++, Objective C, he can be a DBA, he can easily set up a open source environment, and is for the most part pretty damn good at math.

All these professionals have one unique thing in common… THY ALL HATE INTERNET EXPLORER lol

You are probably wondering why I wrote all this crap? Well, I am tired of people placing the title Web Designer, and asking me to write PHP, C#, and JAVA!

So to conclude please title you JOB POST accordingly! AND if you want a Technical Designer then PAY THEM ACCORDINGLY!
