Two Kinds of Web Designers

Hello Guys

I would like Treehouse staff to write an article on their blog about this topic that whether web design the old style is dead or not? Ben Hunt says that there are two types of web designers. The first type are those who create assets like themes and graphics etc. The second type are those who use those assets and focus on their marketing skills in building a website which attracts customers and sells the product for which the site was made for. Do we need to re look how web design is going to be in the near future as Ben Hunt suggests? Also should good designers focus on creating assets like templates and wordpress themes and should the team treehouse curriculum change the way it is presented now. I invite team treehouse to view this issue more in depth. I am posting links to content I need you to watch in order to understand completely what I am trying to say..

I agree but this topic demands professional attention. This approach towards web design can make a great impact on the future of web design and web development as a whole. This is serious stuff.
