TO be completely honest, she is not an aggressive career climber, these are the going wages, she is not negotiating particularly hard or does not have some incredible portfolio that is getting her extra attention.
She works primarily with HTML5 and CSS, working with CMS such as WordPress. She has some ability to play with Javascript but is definitely not qualified as a back end programmer or anything like this.
To the original poster... you need to get the terminology straight. A web designer is a 100% creative job - think graphic design for the internet. A web developer is a technical job with varying levels of coding.
