Website Design
Good website design is more than cutting and pasting images and text into HTML. Web design is as much Art as it is Engineering - not only must a site look good and be well laid out but it must be programmed properly. Unlike a brochure, a website will render differently on different computers, browsers and monitors and complying to standards and testing your website on different computers and browsers is an important part of website development, often overlooked.

A CMS website holds images and content in a database and an interface is created to allow users to update the database, and hence the website.
