I would be inclined to think that finding a designer with the skills somewhere between what Jeremy and Christine recommended would be best. Someone that has an aptitude for coding to a certain degree, yet has an artistic eye as well. I don't think you need a die-hard Notepad user, but I do think the person should at least be able to code a basic page by hand. This will go a long way (and skip a lot of training) toward teaching him/her web standards.
