The title of this article couldn’t be more true. However I would also suggest that a good web designer needs to have some interest and understanding of business and marketing, particularly if slef employed / freelance. They should be able to help a client identify specific purposes for the site and how that site will gain visitors. Whether a site cost £500 or £50 000 it’s wasted money if it achieves nothiong and gets no visitors.
