Web Development is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for World Wide Web.

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.

Web design is a broad term used to encompass the way that content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, using a web browser or other web-enabled software is displayed. The intent of web design is to create a website—a collection of online content including documents and applications that reside on a web server. A website may include text, images, sounds and other content, and may be interactive. 

For the typical web sites, the basic aspects of design are:

-The content: the substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with. 

- The usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable. 

- The appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant. 

- The structure: of the web site as a whole.
