design and layout

Design is all the nice things you have on a web page, colour, images, and the layout is how and where all this design is set and placed
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, that's a good way of expressing it: you might have a cohesive layout for all your pages, but with a design that changes

agree Mark Nathan : Yes, some programs let you keep the same layout but change the "look" which means colours, fonts etc

agree jccantrell : yep, WHAT you put there vs. WHERE you put it.

English term (edited): web page design and layout,

see

IMHO, design applies to the whole process of organizing the contents of the website: Deciding what you want to include, where, and the way it will be displayed, etc.
Layout is the organization of the final product, and it applies only to the way the website will look.

neutral Tony M : Not talking here about the overall design of a webSITE, but of webPAGES, so slightly different...

elements of functionality and style versus how these are set out on the page

The design might include type of content, theme, color scheme, navigation, links to/from other pages, how information is entered or downloaded from the page, and so forth. Once all of these things are determined, layout will position this information on the page. Layout may also have some input to the stylistic decisions about color, font, priority and prominence, but ultimately takes its direction from design.
