It seems that everyone has a website these days and it may seem an obvious development for Graphic Designers to start offering web design services, however designing for the web is quite different to traditional Graphic Design. That said, there is a degree of cross over between the two disciplines that Graphic Designers can exploit without needing to learn new skills.
Making the Web a Prettier Place
Web Designers, particularly Coders and Developers, can be quite outspoken about Graphic Designers producing work for the web, but most recognise that there is a need for them as long as they don't overstep their brief.
Put simply, they believe that Graphic Designers should do nothing more than design the visual elements of the site to ensure that the visual effect is arresting and the Web Designer will take care of how the pages fit together and what functionality is required.
