Default Can I become a Web Designer without programming?

I have a taken a few Web Design courses using Dreamweaver and love it. I can write HTML, however I hate programming. I bombed my C++ class. Is it possible to be a successful Web Designer in a reputed web site design company without programming? I'm looking to just create simple brochure type websites for people without all of the complex programming. There has to be a market for companies who just want a simple web page that can be created by mastering Dreamweaver and Fireworks. What do you think?

Yes you can but programming language will help you create a better site. It is always an advantage to learn it than relying on s/ware.

Sure it's possible, but obviously you won't go as far. At the very least can you find a friend or associate who can help you when you need things that require programming?

as said above it is possible but you won't go far,

By the way learning server side scripting is not as boring as C++, give it a try once and then you will soon start loving it.

I am sure you could but you really sould at least learn php its very simple. If you master php then well you will probly find it easy to do html then java then c++ but for now just learn php and you will be in good shape.

Yeah, you could. Some people don't just need web designers only, they may need Logo Designers and such.
