If you have the skills to develop websites, do you have the title of a web developer or do you have to go to school for the title?

No need to go for School.. If you have skills to develop websites then you can surely use the title of "Web Developer" !
wahjah
You don't even need the skills to develop websites!

You're only going to need a diploma for calling yourself stuff like engineer (although that varies by country).

Software engineer = Has diploma

Software developer = Can be anyone

Software guru = Is usually someone who think they're good

<Something> specialist = Usually knows his shit about the subject. (ie. database specialist)

<Something> scientist = These people are hardcore within their subject, and almost everyone has diploma (but afaik not required for the title). It's more of a way you see yourself. (ie. Data scientist).
