Because "artsy" doesn't always translate into good. And unlike "designers," most people don't give a crap about design, as long as the content is accessible and all the functions of the website are usable. Artsy just means extra embellishment, extra style, and extra flair. Some small businesses don't want all that and just want a plain, presentable website. And there *is* a way to satisfy them, to make a website simple and classy, without going the artsy and sleek route.
