Re: what is a web designer?

thanks for the responses - they're very helpful.  but  i think i have used
the term "web designer" loosely when in fact i just wanted it to mean "one
who does websites whether from a programmer or graphic artist or whatever's
standpoint".  mainly i wanted to know what is expected from a "web maker" if
one asks you to create a page for them.  i did some research myself last
night and i found  a copy of a website design contract at
http://www.wilsonweb.com/worksheet/pkg-con.htm referred to by HWG FAQ which
provides not only a neat guide on how to do contracts but also outlines in
detail the services of a "web maker".

but just to use darrel's informal definitions here,  it is interesting to
note that i am a web designer fumbling at the javascripts ;-)
