Do you design your own sites?

I'm learning some good html and currently some php. I usually pay for my designs and coding but now I do it on my own. I just learned it myself and I find php more easy to use.

Yea, I design my sites myself but its sometimes really hard because:
-One would have to move from a programmer mind set to a designer mind set
-Also coder think differently from an average user and therefore an average user might now know how to use the page design by a coder.

I don't always design my own websites. I put up a contest up somehwhere give them the idea of what colors I want and then pick from the best and award a contest prize out to the best template for the web page. It's a great way to get a professional looking template for 100$ . Along with new banner ect.

I always design my own sites and I design sites for other people also :P I don't really get satisfied if I hire another designer to do my work. Since I'm always picky, I tend to just pick out their flaws on the design a lot so it'd just be better if I make my own designs :P

I suck at graphic designing so I have hired a web designer on permanent basis. However, I make the layout myself by coding on notepad or by using Microsoft Frontpage.

Same with me here, just using notepad and MS frontpage and now was able to learn some basic of php.

I don't know, I feel weird buying something from someone that I can make myself. I design my own stuff. Even though it is the basic blogger format I have put together a lot of neat tools I found from various resources on my blog. I like to come up with my own ideas but lately that market is saturated.
