Web site designers have more of an artistic background. They generally have some programming know-how, but they shouldn't handle complex sites. They're better at creating the look and feel of your site. Web site developers, on the other hand, have more computer programming experience. They might be best for interactive sites that require technical expertise.
Some companies have both designers and developers.
