Surely someone with HTML+CSS skills and a strong focus on layout, user experience and accessibility counts more as a "designer" than a "developer/engineer"? Something akin to the old term "web designer", who might have dabbled in Javascript but worked mostly with HTML+CSS.

In contrast, the terms "developer" and "engineer" definitely have a stronger implication of programming being a major element of the job. Though nowadays on React-using sites, designers might have to work with JSX and JS directly, causing an even greater crossover of the roles.

I've seen designer used mostly to reference UI designers who primarily work in non-code.
