So would making web designers get a "certificate" of some kind fix this
problem??


Not if it existed out there all on its own. I think for it to have any real
effect, it would have to be backed by some sort of governing body and
probably have some sort of legal standing as well. Medical practitioners
must be certified and registered, or they can't legally practise medicine
(in a lot of countries, anyway). Unless you did something similar for web
developers, I really don't see how it would take.

The problem isn't just coming up with an exam and a certificate. The problem
is you have to have businesses believing that it is a MUCH better idea to
hire somebody with that certificate than someone without, even if that
someone else is charging half the price. Otherwise, the bottom line will win
out every time.

That's my take on the matter, anyway....
