No, eventually the math will catch up with you and limit your programming ability. You don't need a comp sci degree to do web design, but if you are designing the infrastructure of a web application a computer science degree is nice to have.
I graduated in 2009 with a degree in comp sci from a decent college. I am working now programming a web application for non profit companies. When I first started my duties were slim, but nowadays I do a good range of tasks competently, and I credit that to my degree.
The other bonus to a computer science degree is the hours it takes to achieve the major. Those hours of practice are vital to becoming a good programmer, be it for the web or otherwise. It teaches you good work ethic and focus and gives you the ability to solve tough problems.
