Web Designing - from the word itself "designing".
This will be the result of your page, what it will look like
and what will be the design.

See this for your info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_designing

SEO is the process where they help your site to be recognize in
different SEs through keywords rankings.

They go hand in hand:

Define web design:

The intense work involved in creating a website that encompasses graphic design, search engine optimization and web content creation and editing to address the four areas of a website's content, usability, appearance and visibility. ...

web design is how your web page looking like and seo is optimization of your web page in the perspective of search engine.
web designing is for the peoples and seo is for search engines.

The way I see it there's two key jobs involved in creating a web site - the design; this needs to be done by a creative person with a flare for visual art - they need to know how to use Photoshop and Illustrator, but they don't necessarily need to be technically inclined and don't necessarily have to know HTML. Then there's the techy job of putting it together into something that will work in a browser - "Web Development" as opposed to web design. This is what I do, and it's distinct from the job of actual design - I don't claim to have any idea what looks good on the screen, but I do know PHP and HTML inside out. I will normally work with a designer who is the opposite - he knows what looks good on screen but doesn't normally know a lot of the technical details of how things go together.

SEO - search engine optimisation is something that both designer and developer have to keep in mind when creating a site - it's a case of making sure the appropriate keywords appear in the right places on the site, making sure the URLs are search engine friendly, things like that. It's more than that though - in a company SEO will often be handled by the marketing department rather than the IT department - it's about establishing links with complementary websites and building content.

Web design is making the layout of the website and probably converting it into HTML/CSS (some people consider this web development).

SEO means Search Engine Optimization. It helps you rank high in search engines by using specific keywords.

Web design is the designing and graphical presentation of content shown on the Internet in the form of Web sites and other Web applications using many different forms of media. The basic design of most pages on the Web use HTML, CSS, and the newest form of language, XHTML. While SEO is improving a website so that it will rank high in the search engines and help potential customers or clients find the website.

Web design is about designing the website or developing the website. SEO is about doing a technique for the website to be visible on search engine, to have visitors and customers.

I don't think design and SEO are related at all

webdesign is just that, the designing of the website.
SEO is how you optimize your web page to get the most from the search engines.

I agree.

Did those of you who think web design and SEO are not related read this? http://www.v7n.com/forums/web-design...ml#post1118047

There's no point designing a website that is not search engine friendly. It just costs the customer more to fix it and it costs them lost revenue.

Building a website is a package. The package includes (but not limited to) the visual look, usability, creating credibility and SEO. This package can be built by a team or if it's a one person operation, then they have to wear all these hats.

SEO is the process of choosing targeted keyword phrases related to a site, and ensuring that the site places well when those keyword phrases are part of a Web search.

Information source directly from wikipedia:

Web design is the skill of creating presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) that is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, by way of a Web browser or other Web-enabled software like Internet television clients, microblogging clients and RSS readers.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

Hope that clarifies what you're looking for.
