What's the Difference Between Web and Digital?
Can you tell the difference between web and digital? In this article, we will dissect the distinction between web and digital to clarify their unique roles and functions.
These two terms are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Yet, they encompass a wide range of expertise, all linked to the use of the Internet and screens, whether on mobile or computer.
It is important not to confuse them, as each field requires specific skills.
On one hand, we have web technologies, which focus on the technical aspects of building and maintaining websites and applications. This includes coding, server management, and ensuring optimal performance and security.
On the other hand, we have digital practices, which are centered around marketing, content creation, and leveraging online platforms to engage with audiences and promote brands.
By understanding these differences, you can better appreciate the specialised skills involved in each field and how they contribute to the broader digital ecosystem.
What Does the Term "Web" Mean?
In English, the web refers to “the web,” an abbreviation of the famous World Wide Web, or www.
Behind this term lies a complex, constantly evolving system of hypertext links, fed by a global computer network. But what does it actually mean?
The web is simply your website. It consists of what the visitor sees, also known as the front end, and what the person who manages the content sees, or the back end.
Additionally, it includes technical elements such as FTP servers and SSL certificates. But don’t worry, we won’t go into the technical details!
Just remember that the web brings together a series of technical tools that interact with each other to offer your visitors the best possible experience when they browse your website.
