It's never been something I thought was essential until today. I've been thinking of doing voluntary work for the VSO, and it seems they're desperate for web designers and developers, only problem is they require a degree for all their openings
There are people I know who design websites very well even if they don't have degree in web design. But if you are applicant in a company degree is an advantage for them. I also wanted to learn of web designing and I have started it hope that I can continue doing it for me to design my own website.
