Guide to Internet Success
Web Designer vs Web Developer -The term "web designer" is loosely tossed around by the industry. Please note:
A web designer is a person that has graphic training, usually someone who works in the print field creating brochures, business cards, etc and they learn how to transfer their eye for design to the web.
A web developer is someone with extensive training beyond the design of a site. A developer can assist your with Search Engine optimization, usability issues, and database development. Please note the developers computer knowledge goes beyond knowledge of color, balance and looking attractive.
   
Ask questions-be aware of who you are hiring & trusting with your web site. Yes, these days everyone wants a business presence on the web, but a poorly done presence can cause more harm than good. (note)
   
Your web site is an important part of your overall marketing toolbox. It should reflect the same branding image as your business cards, brochures, flyers, newspaper ads, etc.
   
A Web Developer should:
Enhance your web presence Increase your site's revenue
