Spanish Vocabulary: Web Designers vs. Web Developers

There is a difference between a web designer and a web developer. While both of them work to create amazing websites, they do very different things. Creating a website is not easy! The web designer and the web developer use different tools to do their job. I’ve prepared a list of vocabulary related to these two jobs so that you know exactly what you’re talking about next time you mention a website in Spanish!

Web Designer – El Diseñador Web

Web designers focus on the aesthetic part of the website. They use different software to create stunning designs that impress audiences. Of course it’s not all just about pretty colors and beautiful images. Web designers have to look at the website from a reader’s perspective and work to improve what’s called the “user experience,” which often leads to higher traffic and higher conversions or sales.

When a web designer talks about a website in Spanish, this is the vocabulary they’re likely to use:

Spanish	English
El diseño	Design
La alineación	Alignment
La paleta de colores	Color palette
La rueda de colores	Color wheel
El contraste	Contrast
La fuente	Font
El matiz	Hue
El formato	Format
Los pixeles	Pixels
La resolución	Resolution
La saturación	Saturation
La tipografía	Typeface
Los vectores	Vectors
La marca de agua	Watermark

Web Developer – El Desarrollador Web

Web developers are also called programmers and they work hand-in-hand with web designers. Their job is to take the designs that the web designer has created and actually make a functional website with them. Web developers use HTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP, and many other programming languages to bring the designs to life. Web developers are in charge of creating responsive websites, or websites that adapt to different screen sizes and devices.

Here is the vocabulary that a web developer uses when talking about a website in Spanish:

Spanish	English
El desarrollador	Developer
El algoritmo	Algorithm
El cache	Cache
El código	Code
La base de datos	Database
La dirección IP	IP address
El servidor	Server
El lenguaje de programación	Programming language
La experiencia de usuario	User experience

Conversations about Websites in Spanish

Now that you have all this new vocabulary, it is time to put it into practice!

Here are some examples of phrases you can use while talking about your website in Spanish.

Persona 1: ¿Cuál es tu correo electrónico?
Persona 2: Mi correo electrónico es _____ @ (arroba) _____ .(punto) com

What’s your email address?
My email address is _____ @ (at) _______.(dot) com

Persona 1: ¡No encuentro el blog que estoy buscando!
Persona 2: Usa la barra de búsqueda para encontrarlo.

I can’t find the blog I’m looking for!
Use the search bar to find it.

Persona 1: ¿De qué trabajas?

What do you do?
