No! the best web page designers are on the web. Someone who knows how to 
design for 4 color printing will not know how to optimally create SMALL 
graphics, will have little or no experience with gif files, or with 
balancing the size vs quality issue of jpeg files _for display on your 
average monitor_ 

Designers with print ad experience will not utilize the full abilities of 
hypertext, they will give you something that looks like a print ad on a 
web page. - it will be slow to load, overburdened with large graphacs and 
generally unappealing to those of us who have seen good web design.

They also won't offer aimated gif's sounds, shockwave, 3-D or any of the 
"kewl" possibilites the webs multimedia nature offers.
