Wordpress: are web designers still necessary?
Since you can make cool, awesome sites with Wordpress without knowing a thing about web design, who really needs web designers? Are custom made web designs a thing of the past?

Aren't you the same person asking about building your musician friend's site to start a portfolio so you could build a client base, and in effect, have a business??
Maybe you can build your portfolio using wordpress themes, then set up your musician friend's site, then charge people to design websites, even though you don't know a thing about web design. Jeez... |

OK I guess I should have phrased my question better. I actually know a thing or two about web design; I'm actually quite adept at the tools of the trade. I've never used WordPress before and I really don't know all that much about it except that a lot of designers seem to use it to build their sites.
I guess what I wanted to know was what those designers who use WP think of it, and how they decide whether to use WP or just simply design custom made sites. |

LOL Anna nice reply : ) flame on that poor fellow !!
actually the question travel_man asked was really worth answering - Yes the answer to that is - Yes web designers just need to update wordpress to their menu list too and get expertise on that as well since its in demand. Its just that wp increases the demand and work and ofcourse ease of developing quality dynamic websites.. see it positive !! cheers Josh |

A standard wordpress template wont replace a webdesigner, unless you want your site to look just like everybody else.
Even if you use Wordpress, you will need a unique design.

Of course, web designers are still necessary. Using Wordpress templates has many limitations. If you plan to make a much more professional site or business page, hiring a web designer is more desirable.

People who own companies that want a unique image pay for custom websites. Template Monster has been around since what 2001? They never put a hold on designers. Even now with more and more automated, templated crap there still is a ton of people who don't want the same thing as another company. |
