making a good mainstream website has very little to do with design
Designs can be bought pretty cheap.
Functionality, branding, atmosphere, purpose, these elements count.
Anyone who thinks the teams who designed amazon, disney, pepsi etc. can suddenly come up with good adult designs that actually convert is crazy.
Likewise just because you are good in photoshop and can design a great Hometowmslut.com site, does not mean you understand the necessary architecture for a Citibank site.
Artists will always be cheap, and will be employed and paid by marketers and salespeople, except for the 1% that break through and make decent money. The 0.1% of artists that are really successful make shit loads of money, but in the end you normally find out it was their marketing skills not their art that made them the success. Madonna being a very good example.
