Speaking as a former webmaster, I would not consider employing anyone who could not write HTML & CSS using Notepad (or the platform equivalent). I may have used (and continue to use, in my retirement), Macromedia Dreamweaver, and before that, HoTMetaL PRO, but that is purely for convenience : there is nothing that DW inserts that I could not insert for myself using any text editor with which I had a passing familiarity. But in practice, you seem to be looking for two sets of skills in a single individual : the ability to design a good user interface (which is primarily ergonomics), and the ability to write in HTML & CSS. There are undoubtedly people who possess both skills, but they are almost certainly fewer than those who possess one or the other but not both.
