I started off as a print designer then started doing web also and can now class myself as a web developer too...
My theory behind designing for web is design first, worry about how your going to make it work later and by designing it without worrying too much about how your going to build it, it challenges you to become a better developer and learn things you never would have known otherwise.
I think designing for web in quark or indesign is a ridiculous idea though! most ppl that do that don't even consider screen resolution, set the document up to pixel size etc,
It's like giving a litho printer a word document.... you can faff about and make it work but the result won't be good.
