Depends on what service you're offering. If you're part of an agency building bigger, coporate sites, then you can siphon off the design side of things. If you're a one (wo)man operation you're going to have to know how to markup a page and probably some programming (a bit of PHP, for example). But even if you're just doing design, it'll help if you understand what a web page is (i.e. it's not a poster). Although markup is simpler to write than C#, that's not to underestimate its importance. Incidentally, there are some natural language programming languages as well: <a href="http://inform7.com/" title="Inform - an interactive fiction programming language" rel="nofollow">Inform</a>, for example.
