There isn&#x27;t really such thing as a &quot;web designer&quot; anymore (or rather, there isn&#x27;t going to be). The job has been split into several different specialised roles.<p>It&#x27;s no longer enough to just be able to design and build a good website, because that level of service has become commoditised.
