i'd like to disagree.. IMHO, a "technician" (don't know if that's the proper word..) creates a site from YOUR specs.. an "artist" does a site the way HE likes it and a "DESIGNER" should know his stuff.. he should have an understanding (backed by experience) of graphics / layout / what converts / etc. and should guide you, the customer, through the whole process of creating a good looking and converting site, ie: if you have have a concept and you think it's cool and all but the designer thinks "man.. that won't convert - we tried that kind of thing in the past" - he should tell the customer and work out a concept/layout that WILL work. ..of course, all provided that the designer REALLY knows his stuff..
