i guess my question here...

do u call urself a web designer? or a web programmer? or u just dont care?

if ur a web designer how much of those backend stuff do u know?do u just sell ur work by its looks for functionality?i know alot people who take free scripts out there and just concentrate on design

from my own experience, my designing skills isnt that good.not very artistic.so most of the works i do are touch up for the backend part..doesnt really bring my much income to be honest..any of you are in the same shoes as me?

software wise...a simple colored text pad is good enough for me..dreamweaver is just to see my layout alignment etc.
