Web Designer or Web Developer?
If your website is a straightforward build, you may want to consider using a template on a platform such as WordPress or Wix, then hiring a web designer to work on your branding, images, and how the content sits on the site is sufficient.
Should you require more complexity, then a web developer may be necessary to ensure the coding and functionality of the website meet your needs.
