re: Define: Web Designer |

Good Q -
I currently work as a New Medis Designer, getting my hands in both the design, development and interactive side of the projects. If you are a "Web Designer" but you dont code at all, I'd say you are still a designer designing front end graphics, but it's almost as if you function as a "Web Graphics Designer" Are you sure you dont code in HTML at least? If you dont I'd recommend learning, especially for what you do.
if you have anymore questions feel free to email me bc@laundrymedia.com
