Thats because most "professionally-trained" designers are idiots when it comes
to web design. They want to create artwork like on TV's and magazines
(because what they really want to be are graphic artists), and they don't
understand that the web is a different medium. Different users have
different monitor sizes, and the view text in different font-sizes, and they
will even view the new website in different languagues. Anyone who has study
web usability will understand that trying to force your viewpoint of a design
on someone else just leads to trouble.
