What is the difference between designing and developing a website?

UX/UI Design
When it comes to website creation, there are a few different components that play a part in getting an entire website up and running. Whether it's an e-commerce store, an informative website for a local business, a news site or a blog, there will be front-end and back-end development required, as well as website planning and creation. One of the biggest differences between designing and developing a website is that development - the actual building of the website - requires coding knowledge and ability, while design requires knowledge around usability, functionality and aesthetics. Both disciplines benefit from an understanding of the other and go hand-in-hand in the website creation process.

Many people are already familiar with coding languages such as HTML, CSS and Python. React JS is a JavaScript library created for frontend development. It is a relatively new code that was developed in 2011 by a Facebook engineer in order to make frontend development easier and more efficient. It looks just like HTML code but is a library that expands massively on HTML's capabilities. (Note that it is more of a library than a framework.) If you need to build interactive elements on a website, React JS is a suitable and versatile option. It is easy to implement and also offers enhanced website performance. Nowadays, it is one of the most popular libraries or frameworks among frontend developers, alongside Vue and Angular.
