In my mind, a good web designer understands what design is: communication. The goal of any design is primarily to communicate a message to the end user.
With this in mind, a good web designer
a) understands the basics of design (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity - C.R.A.P.)
b) understand the message that the client wants to communicate.
c) understands the target market. If the client is targeting youth, don't put an image of an elderly couple holding hands. If the client is targeting middle-class suburban moms, don't put an image of Marilyn Manson.
d) understand web accessibility. (W3C)
e) doesn't duplicate other designs, but uses others work to understand how web users interact with designs.
That's my list of what a good web designer is.
