Edit:
Okay I'm wondering if anyone is able to help me summarize the most *important* skills of a "Web Designer". I need it for my PowerPoint.
Here is the info I have gathered.
- A strong online portfolio displaying user-centered design, and ideally some experience with web database solutions.
- Ability to Hand Code with HTML
- Strong knowledge of Dreamweaver, Photoshop, JavaScript and Flash.
- An Art, Design or Media based Honors Degree
- In depth knowledge of current web-design trends and techniques.
- A flexible attitude with proven experience of working in a small team.
- Excellent communication skills and attention to detail
Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much.

Besides all the technical stuff, the last two and a designer's ability to understand what a client wants AND to translate that into a good website (design, content, interaction, etc.) seem most important IMO. If a person has all the technical skills in the world, but cannot connect with the clients and other human beings, s/he's not going to be very successful.
