    I always enjoy your blog posts, but this one in particular because its a huge topic at work. With all these conversion programs, Why hire a web designer anymore!? Makes me worried for the future, can anyone become a designer? I am not going to lie, these might be helpful for me to rely on to make a project go faster.
