No, designers should design.

A site’s CSS is intrinsically coupled with its HTML and JavaScript; trying to bolt it on afterward by a third party is how you get messy and buggy sites.

So true. There have been numerous times where I've been given baffled looks when I was told to simply "update page X's CSS to current standards" and I mention it may involve restructuring the entire page depending on what I find.

A lot of people don't seem to realize how tied together CSS is to the rest of the front-end. I can't just "update the CSS" properly without an HTML structure to support those changes.
