Yeah it actually does. The way you design your site should encourage people to stay on your website for longer.. and a creative design will keep people on the site for longer hence decreasing the bounce rate. All these play a huge part in the metric of a website. In addition web designers often work along with SEO consultants to implement changes to a site in order to optimise the website further.
VeInteractive has already mentioned the importance of webdesign in SEO, i would like to add one more thing which is, if webdesign is attractive and tidy then user might want to come again on your website cause content on tidy and nice looking website is easy to understand.
Yes, Web design play very important role in SEO. For example if you visit a site which is less attractive then you don't want to visit it, but on the other hand if you have site which have an attractive design then you surely want to visit it more time. Now a day very minor change in your site could effect your SEO position.
yes Web design plays an important role in SEO, you have to set ALT tab to every images b'coz Google crawler can't read the image, it will read ALT tab easily that what exactly that image is saying.. As well as Google crawler also cant read javascript so you have to give no follow attribute to javascript. Likewise you can make web design SEO friendly.
i am a professional search engine optimizer and what i think is that yes webdesign plays a great role and it is like putting meta tags in your site by going to your wordpress site admin(for example) or putting the content the right way with heading or paragraph tags; web designing does all that.
Not directly but indirectly too much. Lets start from objective, design deals with user experience, usability, browser compatibility, navigation, presenting information etc. SEO deals with making reach of website to right people(those who are looking for same or similar), in nut shell you can say both are complementary of each other.
Web Design is hugely important for SEO, the Tags and navigation needs to be good so that users and google can follow the path to your sites easily for when it crawls and indexes your pages!
[FONT="]When it comes to boosting web visibility, a variety of factors need to be taken into consideration. Search engine friendly web designing is one of them. If you want to attract more online visibility to your website, your website has to appeal to both- search engines and visitors.

Web design is a place where we can publish whatever we wish to publish. It is very important that you have a website with quality and resourceful but nobody knows our website. The website does not have any value to others. To make our website popular, seo can play an important role. So, we can say that web design does not have any role in seo but seo can play an important role.
Yes it is very important. On-page Optimization plays very important part, On-page Optimization depends on how your site is designed.
Thank guys From all you responses i learned that not only seo is playing vital role, web designing is also important in terms of website structure, unique content, easier navigation and so on. Again thank you so much...
Web design is indeed an important part of the SEO process, as it is the hob of the designer to detect any possible errors in your site, so that site does not show up any errors while google crawls your site.
Yes ! when anyone come at your site he/she First take a look of site if our design is good then he/she automatically attract to your site for long staying and it will also decrease the bounce rate of site. Web Design really plays an Important role in SEO.
Yes web design plays an important role in SEO because it becomes easier to get traffic to the site if it has an SEO friendly web design. For example, many technologies make a site look "cool" but are not search engine friendly. If your website design uses many of these technologies, then you may either be blocking or slowing down a search engine when it tries to access the content on your website. If a search engine cannot quickly and easily access content on your website, it is unlikely to rank high in search results. Incorporating SEO best practices in your website goes beyond just content and linking. It needs to happen with technology decisions, site architecture, navigation and more. And this is where SEO can play a vital role in your website design.
