This is getting very silly, but for what it's worth...

The best web designer is someone, or some group, proficient in both
'traditional' design and this new-fangled digital stuff. 

Why?

Simple. A site is worthless without content. A site may have 'way kewl'
tricks and gizmos, but if it looks like a dog's diner it will only be
remembered for the the worst reasons. A site may be the best designed page
in the world, but if it takes 3 hours to load then who will know about it?

The best site will have interesting, well written and presented content,
will load quickly, have enough tricks to excite without losing the message
behind a veil of coolness, and change often enough to encourage return
visits.

I just wish this hypothetical site was mine...
