Jamal,

Well stated and my exact thaughts.  One of the big trends I've been reading 
about are "web frameworks"; like ruby on rails, cakephp and turbo gears (just a 
few).  What is important about all of these frameworks is their emphesis on 
separation of business logic and visual presentation.  I know lots of sighted 
web programmers who's employers want them to keep their fingers out of the 
visual aspects and focus on the business logic/process.  Their employers 
recognize that graphic designers/artists are much better at the "eye candy" and 
completely out of their depth with programming design/logic.

Developers need to know enough to get the site functioning to a point that 
designers can work with the html and css to make it beautiful.

My two cents.

Mike
