It sounds like we have very similar situations, give or take a couple years of experience. I'm sitting here trying to come up with the right job title(for a client proposal) because I've been using Designer / Developer for a title for about 3 years now. But within that time I've began programing cms sites, and e-commerce sites complete with seo. Sooooo... Designer / Developer / Programmer? Dude, I know exactly what your talking about.

My reading is that professionals having expertise in Web Design and Understanding of Web Development or vice versa should be termed as Web Professionals, where in they play critical role of front end visualisation in sync with the backend structure or flow. Which also shapes up the professional as a great creative or visualiser with respect to wen industry. A front end web design cannot be build with lack of backend undertstanding. My conclusion is you are a blend of Creative Design with Analytical Brains to understand Web Development. Hi Debbie,

I'm more a Developer as I've been 15 years a developer, I rely on an artistic presence from designers to bring the two together. I try to to refer to myself as a Web Developer, because web design and web programming is development, if you are only good at one of them, then contracting out the other one must still be development. The trouble is a lot of people don't know what a Web Developer does, so I end up saying 'Web Designer'!
