web design, xhtml css development, front end developer, web programmer... there are many nams on the same job with huge differences and i believe its needed to be cleaned up.
Media companies in the world done really know who or what experience they are looking for in a opening or a specific position. I have noticed that in Germany a internet specialist is he same as web designer in UK. A web designer is also a front end developer with mmore technical experience in XHTML and CSS. There are also web developers which are more related to the technical and back end programming, form functionality and uses maybe PHP, AJAX and MySQL as tools and technologies.
Its all a struggle so i wanted to clear it up a little bit.
