Should a developer be a designer?

Question

I have been developing websites for quite some time and I am not so good in designing websites? My Boss is refering me to take some lessons on it.

But I really want to stick to development rather than designing?

You don’t need to be a designer. But I would highly recommend you understand the process and some of the techniques used. Having that knowledge will assist in both working with designers and providing better back ends.

I’d do the course, but make it clear to my boss that it’s not what I want to do as a main job.

Well, if developing is the field you are comfortable with, stick with it.

But learning is never bad. Try to gain knowledge first, after taking the classes, you can answer this question yourself
