I've lived on the other side of the fence, however I like to class myself as more of a front end developer and digital designer. I've often been at the receiving end of a design which simply does not work in the medium it is intended for very well, the web. I guess it very much depends on the individual and their understanding of digital design. A lot of the guys I used to work alongside were primarily print designers who often got it wrong. However, as Dave mentioned, having knowledge of how things could often limit your creativity. Great website and blog by the way. Keep up the great work and good luck freelancing, I've recently made the same jump! (Stay away from my clients! lol) Great debate.

I my self is a freelance designer and I code websites(only my own design) as well. And I been doing this for past 3 years. Before that when I was doing a full time job, & I just design stuff. For coding things there were other people taking care of it. So as I'm doing freelance NOW I have to code my web design Because In past my designs were really screwed by developers. And as I have to make a better reputation online & get more jobs I THOUGHT and started to code myself. I started from simple HTML/CSS .. then Web2.0 & CSS3 & now days I'm designing & developing Wordpress & Joomla sites NOW what I feel is that from these past 3 years, mostly I have learn is developing part comparing to design. & now I became a good website creator not a better designer.
