It seems to me that the major trend in webdesign are CMS's - something 
like Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal (which seem to be three of the most 
popular) will allow you to get a long way in designing most type of 
websites. Of course, there is no replacement for really understanding 
PHP, Perl, CSS, Javascript (or even ASP, if you have to). But it seems 
to be the most productive way to get websites of various forms, shapes 
and complexity going in a reasonable time frame.
