Usually some form of contact is included, be it e-mail, phone, or physical address, so that visitors can contact the individual responsible for its maintenance. That makes it possible to report browser incompatibilities, broken links, potential copyright infringements, etc. Your name is not required, but some form of contact is always appreciated.

I was wondering, do web designers put a "signature" on every website they create?

thanks, Marcelo.
