    I have worked a lot with freelance designers/in-house teams of many well funded companies, so I think I can answer these questions with utmost accuracy.

    The answer is – No!

    Design doesn’t impact SEO in any way, nor is it a ranking signal. Yes, it may affect bounce rate or CTR, but the strategy created by an SEO guy will in no way be deployed by a designer. They belong to completely different fields

    I think you are confusing a designer with a developer. If it’s the latter, then yes, they may need to work together to ensure that everything is followed to the letter. You have no idea what many developers think are the best SEO “practices,” which in reality are nothing but overengineering and time-wasting.
