I like the comparison to architect.
Experience Design Architect, that's what I'm gonna start calling myself.

Experience Design Architect type seeks Computer Code Linguist for hot and heavy project action.

Its funny. I started as a fine artist utilizing many mediums except paint, it was too messy for me. Somewhere I started liking computer graphics and did that for a while, even dabbling in #D Modeling and animation. I hopped into Computer programming due to the dot com boom and decided to mix the two ending up with "web design" which i realized didn't mean shit until I knew how to do some back end stuff and connect to DBs. Now I work as a web developer and know more about development than I really care to share. Photography seems to be my only outlet at this point... which isn't the actual point. but web designers who don't know how to code pretty much are inept and I don't mean that as a diss. I'm just saying, a lot of back and forth gets eliminated when you can understand how ur design will be coded in the end.

I do light coding. Any flash/css sites I'll do solo...any back end functionality stuff and my eyes glaze over.

I think to design sites well, you should at least have a fundamental understanding of code and its limitations.

moderate php, as2/3, html, css, js, jquery - I have mostly learned how to do what I needed after securing the contract that requires it.
Great way to learn.- Learning AS3 from scratch under the gun doesn't sound very pleasant.bort

Depends what you mean by code. C and Java? Probably not - but they're not that much more complicated than AS3.
Or just knowing how HTML and CSS work? If it's that, I don't see how you can call yourself much of a web designer without it. It would be like being a print designer but not understanding anything about different paper stock, printing techniques or how the Pantone color system works.

How can you design a website without knowing if you can make silo's or overlaps, etc.
- You just open Photoshop and go for it.clearThoughts
- A proper "Web Designer" will sort it out for you later.clearThoughts
