A web designer is not a web designer if the can’t code html / CSS. That removes the ‘Web’ part of it, and makes them a “graphic designer” as they are designing a layout for the web not an actual web site. (css) is design its more our side that dev.

Its weird I have went for interviews and had to knock them back because they just wanted me to draw pretty pictures all day. Can’t understand agencies that want someone to draw and someone to build the UI and someone else to build the dynamics… The way we work is we have 34 dev’s that work with JAVA, PERL to build the apps and the 4 web designers can code, design, and advise what’s the best course for the project. That way if its web design that’s required we can build it and test it.
