Web developers make web applications.

There is a fairly fundamental difference: developers make the web work and designers make it pretty.

This is well put, but perhaps not the whole story.

1. For a web site to work well, you would also need someone writing great content, have an understanding of information architecture, web usability, and more. I sometimes teach the Web Editor program at our university, which links text, image handling, usability/accessibility, structuring the site, and also some coding.

2. Even if you are more into the backend of a web site/web application, the level of expertise you would need varies. For example, ASP.NET WebForms is much easier (if you're not good at OO practices) and more similar to a traditional HTML web site than ASP.NET MVC.

To develop web sites, I usually say you need five skills:

1. HTML
2. CSS
3. Database logic (traditionally SQL Server or MySQL)
4. Server code (ASP.NET, PHP)
5. Javascript

Of these five, Javascript could perhaps be omitted, depending on the website's needs, but you can't live without the other four.

If you keep things simple you will find that web development is much easier than most other programming. It's also more rewarding, as you get results very quickly, and people from all over the world can watch your work. Thus, if you're new or relatively new to programming, then web development is a great way to expand on your knowledge.

Good luck!
