Hi,
let's see why we say that websites are like onions, with layers.
Websites have an outer layer.
This is the graphical look and feel of the site. In order to create this your common, website needs to have an artist's eye and a designer's skill with tools such as Photoshop or Fireworks. The graphical web designer needs to have insight into the latest web design styles, such as can be found here. He needs to be able to wield shades and shadows and meld them into Web 2.0 flavored onion soup. Preferably soup not made with eyeballs.
