Most small business that want just a brochure site, have no idea what the internet is about or they would use a different presenation system (CMS etc)
What they are looking for in just a brochure is just that. A clean well done marketing piece So you need to know graphics design and be able to translat good graphics design into a good web page. Using software like Dreamweaver and PhotoShop or Gimp make this possible for alot of people.
The problem today is that alot of people who shouldn't be doing "web design" are now doing it because they think they can and it does an injustice to the businesses who use them
Knowledge of marketing, design, layout, and presentation are the least of the list of skills needed. Anyone can make a website, only those who are blessed with the skills can make one that does the business justice.
Knowing web technology and computer technology will help you to not make the glaring errors that many make, Like building a site for internet explorer and it doesn't work in Firefox or Opera at all. Or making one that only works at a specific screen resolution. etc. etc.
To really program well you need knowledge of HTML, CSS, XHTML at least.. even better is to know PHP, Java, ASP etc.

BBcode, PHP, and Perl are useful.
