In my oppinion, these two are not allways the same. I see myself as a fairly good developer, but not a very good designer. Ofcourse I can see when something looks like crap, but I'm not the one to come up with the next cool design or layout. Someone else does that for me, and I cook up the code for it. For instance, what if you have a cool design, but it looks like s... in different browsers?? Alot of good designers out there forget to take that into consideration. It might be a great design, but it's poor development. Can the user change the font size, or did you freeze it so that it doesn't ruin your cool design? What I'm saying is that you don't have to be a photoshop freak to be a good web developer..... I think you forget to distinguish between the “web designer” and the “web developer”.

My family was all in business but I choose to be a designer because I knew I would be bored as heck sitting in a suit all day. No I sit in my PJ's all day and design and love it, except for the fat that your body builds up from not moving around too much I like it.

Don't you think you're prematurely condemning these "losers"? A person with dyslexia can still become a Ph.d, and it <strong>has</strong> been done. When I first started into web design, I made some incredibly horrid websites that people wrinkled their noses at. But when I honed my design skills and worked very hard to be creative, it paid off. I don't think we should classify anyone as "in" or "out" in regard to web design; rather, we should keep open minds attitudes towards new or lesser known people who have just as much spirit as we do.

Only thing i'll point out is unless the client is paying you what I shall call "an appropriate amount" and they are a bit more stingy on their budget I would be less inclined to give them the designer's eye. It goes back to the fact that the client gets what they pay for. Dugg with 2 g’s.

Plenty of people can tell if a site looks good or not. They can also develop the technical skills to make a working replica.
